Bills stadium worker quits after 30 years on the job because of team national anthem protests [View all]

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/bills-stadium-worker-quits-team-anthem-protests-article-1.3520012

"..."During the National Anthem…the song that is about our country, our veterans that fight and die for us, it's just something I feel you shouldn't disrespect that way," Nikischer said. "I believe people have the right to protest; I just don't believe that's the proper venue for it."

Nikischer posted a photo of himself leaving the stadium Sunday after he quit. He wrote "I can not work in a place where multi millionairs cry that they are oppressed..."
