“Kilgannon Demands NFL Halt Anti-American Protests”
Not everyone agrees with the radical swerve to the left exhibited by the National Football League during the past years. On September 6th, Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon addressed a direct though respectful letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, asking that he put an end to the Anti-American, National Anthem protests of San Francisco Forty Niners’ reserve Colin Kaepernick and other players.
Speaking “…on behalf of those we represent at Freedom Alliance – military heroes and their families,” Kilgannon made certain to remind Commissioner Goodell that the NFL, its teams owners and players are insulting members of the United States military.
“The NFL does not allow antagonism toward any of its own,” writes Kilgannon. Yet hostile displays toward the nation and members of its military appear almost encouraged by the league hierarchy.
Mr. Kilgannon’s letter appears below:
September 6, 2016
Mr. Roger Goodell Commissioner, National Football League 345 Park Avenue New York, New York 10154
Dear Commissioner Goodell,
I write to express my concern about anti-American protests that are taking place in the National Football League, and I do so on behalf of those we represent at Freedom Alliance – military heroes and...

I’m done watching.
Just like it’s the NAALCP, it’s the NLFL.
Don’t forget ESPN.
Gooddell is an ass.
Thank you NFL. I am now using those 3-4 hours spent watching football in previous years to make phone calls for Donald Trump in Arizona. So, thanks agin!

Kaepernick and others who've joined in this demonstration of disloyalty to the US now have blood on their hands.
Those folks who are rioting in Charlotte really believe that police just want to shoot black people. Their sports idols told them so.
That thought should be expressed in letters to the NFL Players League and the NFL.
The NFL is considering moving the Panthers game in South Carolina
to an out of state venue.
If the NFL lets their players kneel down to the National Anthem in protest,
why not let the local thugs protest the game?
We need all the pressure we can put to bear on ESPN and NFL - make ‘em hurt in the pocket book!
“I don't necessarily agree with what he is doing,” Goodell told the Associated Press. “We encourage our players to be respectful in that time and I like to think of it as a moment where we can unite as a country. And that's what we need more, and that's what I think football does -- it unites our country. So I would like to see us focusing on our similarities and trying to bring people together. But, he added, "players have a platform, and it's his right to do that."
“I support our players when they want to see change in society, and we don't live in a perfect society. We live in an imperfect society,” Goodell said. “On the other hand, we believe very strongly in patriotism in the NFL. I personally believe very strongly in that. I think it's important to have respect for our country, for our flag, for the people who make our country better; for law enforcement, and for our military who are out fighting for our freedoms and our ideals.”
ESPN features close-ups of the jerks kneeling or raising their fists. Will they do this throughout the season? By Christmas, the ratings should be down at least 50%.
I keep saying it will stop when pink October begins. 2 different issues. 2 groups that don’t have anything in common. The nfl and the left needs them both.
If you don’t agree, you/we can do two things to b$tch slap these left wingers:
1. Boycott their tv games, endless reruns and blabbering former jocks on tv about what happened 20 years ago, last week and might happen this week.
2. Don’t buy any NFL overpriced clothing and gimmicks.
I’m very glad my college team keeps the teams in the locker room during the Anthem. It would really piss me off if Kaepernicking started there.
Goodell could have fixed this immediately in one of two ways: Instruct the coaches to keep both teams inside until after the anthem or instruct the networks NOT to show ANY player engaged in protest. Goodell is a cuck who would rather be called anti-American than be called racist.
Doesn’t appear to be sitting well with the fans, either.
Watch the movie Concussion, with Will Smith. That will make you hate the NFL more than anything. I think it is the lowest grossing film of all time, so far. Apparently football fans are disgusted with the truth about head injuries in football players.
