Miami Dolphins players released a blistering and powerful video on Thursday night in which they said they will stay inside for the playing of two national anthems before Sunday's season opener, and explained in detail why.

The players had said this week they were working on a unified message and protest. In the video, the players criticize the NFL for its approach to social inequities.

In a powerful moment, McCain suggests he's tired of being told to stay in his lane. "If you speak up for change, then I'll shut up and play," McCain said.

In the video posted Thursday, players criticized NFL owners in general.

"Either you're in denial or just simply don't really care," safety Eric Rowe said.

The players clearly express their frustration and anger with both the state of society as well as their interpretation of the league's efforts.

"We're not puppets," defensive lineman Davon Godchaux said. 

"So we'll skip the song and dance," defensive end Shaq Lawson said.

Yes Fred, Really.
