(This is also another malodorous thing to be swirling around in Cleveland for next week's Republican convention, which will probably be met with a lot of hate-filled, anti-police activities.)
(I'm not exactly holding my breath....).

Why should we condone the public who go to games and support these scum? As far as I’m concerned, giving them a pass is a big part of the problem. By their attending the games, they’re complicit.
RE Private Security:
Good idea... and make the whole team pay for it, and let them know it’s because of that one idiot.
He’ll get some proper motivation real quick.
Add to that - we make multimillionaires out of these scums...and we know dang well they're making big donations to BLM and other radical black organizations (whether by common cause with them or by peer pressure)...in other words, OUR MONEY is used by these NFL thugs to further revolutionary, violence-promoting causes dear to them but antithetical to us and our country.

NFL = BLM
I would hope the public might boycott the Browns to show their disapproval of Crowell.
But people love their football.
I hope Crowell does not get cut in camp. There goes his first game check and mo Dallas money.
Thank you Cleveland Police for standing up to this! It’s a miracle.
I saw that graphic. It’s absolutely the most outrageous thing to come out of this mess.
My hat is off to Stephen Loomis for his reaction. Crowell has no business being on any sports team, ever again.
Actions must have consequences in civilized society.
I still have not seen anything about this on espn or nfl.com. Hmmm.
For the most part teams pay for off-duty police officers. Instead of low grade rent-a-cops.
What if fans don’t attend because they are afraid for their safety? Wouldn’t that send a message to the National Felons’ League?
What if fans didn’t attend because they were outraged by the anarchistic postings of one of these highly paid athletes?
Would everyone here be willing to boycott the NFL until such time as proper sanctions be brought against any/all players who subscribe to the mindset exhibited by Crowell’s irresponsible Facebook posting? Let’s not think that he is alone. Remember the team whose players came out of the tunnel (in virtual lock-step) during the days of “hands up, don’t shoot”? Their actions were equally irresponsible as they, and their ilk, were quick to judge the police officer in Ferguson.
Hurting one team might be okay, but hurting the multi-billion dollar NFL industry would send a message that they’d better start policing their outrageously paid and pampered man-children.
I like.
LOL...
San Antonio Browns - An American football team in the National Football League which was founded and played for many years in Cleveland, Ohio. The team was forced to relocate after Cleveland was destroyed in the great Trump Riots of 2016.
There most obviously is an incorrigible core, but it probably wouldn’t abate for anything we can secularly do under the constitution.
What can be drained away is the seething hate contributed by hangers-on, which is most of who actually shows up at these BLM demonstration/riots.
It isn’t about that police chief or the osculation of his arse anyhow. It’s bigger than he is. I’d been thinking a suitable reply might be on the order of “On behalf of all the sworn officers of the USA, imperfect though they are, I’d like to see you make a public call for BLM, whatever its grievances, to stop the hate and fury all over this country — hate and fury that will never improve the relations between these officers and people of any color. Now that would be the right thing to do.”
I’d like to see such a boycott, but I won’t hold my breath. I loathe the NFL, but I know that there are a lot of people who enjoy watching professional football.
