Exactly. Amazing how many freepers are addicted and incapable of giving up the opiate, even as the thugs continue spitting in their faces.

We can (politely) work on them, these freepers will be our offseason project.

In my case, this vet (from a family of vets) decided that I choose to not take part in watching sporting events in which me and my very fine Country are being insulted by ungrateful and ignorant nfl millionaires. (No outrage and no boredom. Just an easy change of priorities.)

As an aside, I have spoken to so many folks who have walked completely away from the NFL, that I suspect that the low viewership numbers might actually be inflated over what they really are.

I, however will continue to be a Pat’s fan as Robert Kraft was smart enough to put the Kibosh on this Bullshite. We have guys dressed as Colonials shooting rifles at every touchdown.
I know, Devon McCourty tried to start some crap with the NFL.. that got shut down quickly and look what that a -hole, Goodell, did to TB12 over some spurious B.S. started by a very Jealous Ravens team.
I am all with screw the NFL.
I hate Roger Goodell with very fiber of my being.
But, I will always follow my team, whom I do believe, for the most part, are Patriots.

Don’t hate on Freepers. You don’t know Freepers from chopped liver. Just because somebody posts on Free republic does not make them a Freepers.

Unfortunately, the incompetent Goodell will be part of NFL football for years to come. Been a fan for almost 50 years, not about to stop now (I know many here aren’t fans, no disrespect to you) I just want to watch football, without politics being involved.

If I just signed for 40 million bucks, I wouldn’t care either.

Sounds like Goodell is telling the fans “F - You” again. Honestly, I can’t remember a better example of dimwitted arrogance.

You are the only one that cares that you don’t watch football. You are the only one affected by you not watching football. I for one will not let a few retarded liberals ruin something I enjoy just cause they try and infect thier politics into it. If I did that for everything liberals try and ruin I could never leave the house. As far as I am concerned the left dislikes the NFL because it is a great American tradition which they hate and I will not help them take it apart because a few lefty idiots tried to use the reach and the scope of the NFL as thier giant soapbox.

” Amazing how many freepers are addicted and incapable of giving up the opiate, even as the thugs continue spitting in their faces.”

This line reads to me like something straight out of DU. If you don’t want to watch the NFL, don’t watch it.

Disparaging Freepers for choosing to watch football is what progressives do to us for daring to disagree with them.

As a one-time Patriots fan, I hope Tom Brady blows out a knee on Saturday. F*ck the NFL & the Patriots.

Very unkind and over the top.
You clearly have some anger, seriously doubt that you were a fan.
God Bless.

There is some real anger out here—we haven’t been invited by Goodell to protest on the field....or invited by Goodell to seminars funded by the NFL on issues that concern white people...
