Then I guess they won’t be attending football games in future, right?

Did you hear that, crazy people? Football stadiums are gun free zones.

Well, ya never know when an off duty cop might help in busting out windows on a range rover after jumping off his motorcycle. Or go berserk in a major stadium if their team is losing.

I didn’t think they would start muzzling civilian police this soon.

Anyone who has attended a New York Jets game knows that this is a fantastic policy.

Yep, painting police with a broad brush is a good thing. LOL!

I wonder if they are worried that one of the cops might go over the edge watching grown men running around wearing pink cleats and mouthpieces.

Just inviting the next mass killer in to the stadium. NFL looks like they are going for the record number of casualties. Wonder what the over under in on body count.

This is the new keystone of the liberal agenda. If we “criminalize” guns and gun ownership, at some point in the future, the left will have peacefully taken complete control of the country.

This is the whole reason that schools are punishing kids for drawing anything that looks like a gun, pointing their fingers in the shape of a gun or eating a food into the shape of a gun. If they can send the message to vulnerable children that “guns bad, liberals good”, they will have an entire generation of kids believing it.

Either we draw a line in the sand and stop it now, or the 2nd Amendment will be meaningless in 30 years!

since many police officers are noted for being thugs with badges, its a good idea...Hard for me to say that as my father was a detroit mounted cop, retired in the 50’s...

I don't see the logic in giving off-duty cops special gun privileges that the little people don't have.

It would be nice if all law abiding citizens could carry in these danger zones, but cops don't "do it better." In fact, when it comes to bumblef**ks with guns, they're often the worst offenders.

Ping to JB.

Police work was a far more honorable profession back then.

Must have been nice.

So that’s the deal they made to keep the lawyers off
their backs. Are they ready to take personal responsibility
for everyone’s safety in every stadium? I’ll bet they get
protection from that too. Lets give a big applause for
the new LNFL. I think this is a big setup for another
false flag operation. Obama sure could use one.

The NFL sent out the same sort of notice in Seattle.
