PAYBACK: After Being A Follower And Kneeling For The National Anthem, Brandon Marshall Gets HIT HARD… In The Wallet!!

Let’s see if he will he call this ‘injustice’ too?

Did Marshall not realize that when your name IS the brand, your personal and public life are interconnected. For good, and for bad. (Just ask Tiger Woods.) Someone just got himself a very expensive economics lesson.

It didn’t take very long for the hammer to drop.

Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall said he expected pushback. He knew not everyone would agree with his decision to kneel for the national anthem before the Broncos’ season opener against Carolina on Thursday evening.

He expected some to perceive his protest, designed to highlight issues such as racial inequality and police brutality, in a negative light.

Friday morning, his expectation became reality when Air Academy Federal Credit Union released him from his endorsement deal. Marshall became AAFCU’s official spokesperson in May.

“Although we have enjoyed Brandon Marshall as our spokesperson over the past five months, Air Academy Federal Credit Union (AAFCU) has ended our partnership,” Glenn Strebe, the AAFCU’s president and CEO wrote in a Facebook statement. “AAFCU is a membership-based organization who has proudly served the military community for over 60 years. While we respect Brandon’s right of expression, his actions are not a representation of our organization and membership. We wish Brandon well on his future endeavors.”
