FOX reporter says he was kicked out of cab over NFL player protests

FOX sideline reporter and "Good Morning Football" host Peter Schrager says his affiliation with the NFL got him kicked out of a cab while covering a game in Indianapolis recently.

Schrager spoke about the incident Friday during an appearance on WFAN's "The Mike Francesa Show" on Friday.

"Cab driver picks me (up) and he says 'What do you do for a living?' and (I say) "Oh, I work in the NFL.' And he stops the car, turns around, and says 'You can get out of the car. The NFL is dead to me. The NFL, the fact that these guys take knees, I will never watch the NFL again,'" Schrager recalled. "It was the first time I had a real-life experience face to face with somebody who was that charged up about this issue. And I said 'Wow, that's crazy.'

"The more you talk to fans who aren't on the two coasts, the more you aren't in blue-state territory, this is a real deal and it is affecting the bottom line. So the owners are seeing this."
