Take a Knee NFL!
To the GROIN!
Losers
I would have missed the ad anyway. I am boycotting the NFL.
Fine. Pull the military flyover and all military personnel from the SB then.
Good, then I don’t have to make any exceptions to my “F them all” policy.
Well, I approve of my decision to not watch the Stupor Bowl, Rog.
They ran a preview of the commercials before Trumps speech. So screw the game. Puppy Bowl here I come!
Roger Goodell, has been, and will always be an ABJECT MO-ron.
This A**hole makes Mud puddles look Smart.
But GoodHELL will allow left-wing activists to turn the actual playing field into their own political statement!!
Liberal hypocrisy rears its ugly head again. A purely patriotic “please stand” message is ruled out as “political” — but ACTUAL political messages proclaiming that America is a racist police state of brutality... oh, well, those are just fine with the NFL.
Of course he does.
Goodell has proven to be the middle link in the Human Centipede.
LOL! Did he really say this with a straight face?
A petri dish for the flu.
Right. Beyonce’s ‘Ode to the Black Panthers’ at the Super Bowl at Levi Stadium from a couple of years ago was not a political statement.... It was ‘art’.
I’m really not liking this guy... Goodell.
I’m sorry, the NFL? What is that?
So when did standing for the anthem or praying for the country become political? I am sending the below letter to about forty papers and commentators tomorrow. And no , I am not watching the game.
Siraj Hashmi in the Washington Examiner said it’s time to put feelings on ice that are offended by football players kneeling. That does not work for me, because feelings are not involved in this disparagement of the country equivalent to burning the Star-Spangled Banner.
Here is the clearest musical symbol of the Constitution I swore to support and defend. Therefore, for me grievances must be solved while maintaining basic reverence for the country. My allegiance requires standing for the National Anthem, and kneeling to pray for my country. These actions proceed from the indefinitely binding oath excerpted below.
“I, (Name), having been appointed an officer in the United States Navy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.”
When America’s fallen arrive at Dover Air Force Base, the caskets are covered with a Star-Spangled Banner. When they are buried the flag is removed, elegantly folded, and given to a relative.
For me contemplating this oath and that ceremony renders the protesters feckless and self-absorbed, and their causes becomes squalid and frivolous.
I remember when success was defined in terms of marriage, raising kids, career, etc. Now success can mean convincing others to adjust their behavior for the supposed emotional damage projected by people deciding to infect themselves with an apparent grievance. The result forces people into codependent relationships, which I will not join.
I support Americans decision to boycott the NFL.
Not
For
Long
Excellent, Roger.
Keep digging that hole.
Say hello to the Chinese when you get there.
I don’t get this Goddell Supports the decision. Wasn’t it his decision?
