“his words hurt a lot of people in our community”

No, they didn’t. That is a flat out lie. His words didn’t hurt anyone at all.

85 mil would still buy me a boat and a Yeti 110 full of nice cold beer and some bait and keep my fuzzy woogats happy. As I mentioned F-them. Everything around DC SUCKS hugely.

"...Rivera said in the statement, adding that Del Rio had a constitutional right to voice his opinion."

Screw Ron Rivera...he doesn't give a hoot about constitutional rights. I'm glad the Panthers fired him. Also glad his Charlotte home burned down.

The January 6th civil rights protests didn’t involve arson. BLM riots did.

Also Ashli Babbit was murdered by law enforcement, whereas BLM and Antifa usually do the murdering (unless they get stopped by a hero like Kyle Rittenhouse).

The NFL is going take a very large Jon Gruden forearm to chops over the league’s torching of his character. I’m hoping he files for at least $1B and Goodell’s head on a platter.

Sue them for violating his 1st Amendment rights.

Exactly right!

The Big Lie is that this was Peaceful. BLM + Antifa

[heavy metal]

first command of the season by the commanders...

[montag813]

Rivera buys into the lies 100%, and the article repeats the lie that “5 officers died” from J6.

[thesearethetimes...]

How is it that they ONLY fine people who make statements they Don’t believe in!?

How can that be ok?
If they are going to fine staff for expressing political opinions - it must be for ALL political opinions - NOT only the ones you don’t agree with….

Grrrrrr

Dear Lord, please - share Your strength.

“In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Dems would call it treasonous.

Step In by Cedric Burnside
I feel, like a bird with bird with broken wings
Can't fly, back up in the trees
Like a addict, feenin for crack
Tryna break the habit, but it keep on comin back
Like a child, cryin' all night long
Hungry for some food, but it's all gone
Please Lord, step in
I feel, like I'm lost and can't be found
Boat with a hole, that's slowly sinking down
Like a bully, that put me to the test
Got me paranoid, and I can't get no rest
Please Lord, step in
Please Lord step in

Was a good day when Rivera and Newton were run off from the Panthers.

[Socon-Econ]

Anyone still payronizing the NFL is its enabler. That dopey game is not worth the destruction of the USA.

[dragnet2]

Del Rio downplayed the deadly insurrection and questioned why the protests in the summer of 2020 after Floyd’s death were not receiving the same scrutiny.

Did he get an answer? I guess their feigned outraged allows them to evade tough questions. They're saying, "It's so obvious, I need not answer".

And they weren't protests in 2020, they were deadly widespread riots from coast to coast, causing billions in property damage, as innocent people were ruined...

Coach Rivera is great out on the gridiron--but completly gutless when it comes to politics.
