On Oct. 1, 2017, the website TheLastLineofDefense.org posted an article that said celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, the star of Kitchen Nightmares, had aimed his notoriously biting rhetoric -- typically reserved for amateur chefs -- at Miami Dolphins players with the National Football League (NFL) who had hoped to dine at one of his restaurants: At the time, the item caused a stir on social media due to a raging debate over professional football players taking a knee during the U.S. national anthem to protest police brutality. Moreover, it appeared on the same day several Dolphins players did take a knee before facing off against the New Orleans Saints in London, England: However, the truth was that TheLastLineofDefense.org displayed a disclaimer that said it was a satirical publication: Given the popularity of Gordon Ramsay and topical widespread debate over NFL take a knee protests, the story would have certainly made headlines were there any truth to it. However, it was not reported by any credible news outlets and, like everything else on the satirical website, the story was fictional.
