That appears to have been Goodell’s intention from the start. The lefties have wanted to kill the NFL for years.

The Patriots have alpha white men culture. Not gonna fly with guys like Gronk, Brady, Edelman and company.

Oops, did not catch that.

I think they have already stopped showing it on TV, but the photos keep getting out. I don’t think the NFL will let this go on all season like they did last year.

Go to The Hall of Fame anyway-——look at artifacts and pictures of the great days of football——before this insanity started.

Don’t deprive your son and yourself of that.

The only game I watched last year was the Superbowl, and I am glad that I did, because seeing the Pats win was like pouring salt in everyone’s Trump inflicted bobo’s :D

All other games I did not watch, including all of the Saints, which is my team, but didn’t miss much there since they suck.

This years all games are off unless the Pats go to the Bowl again, then I’ll watch it.

Roger Goodell was friend’s with Kraft, and since he has become commissioner, he primarily works for Kraft. Does his bidding.

Nothing tough about being a coward, it’s the easiest path to take.

I personally am going to lmao when these over paid j**offs are out of a job making millions, and then the howls of racism will begin (or continue) all over.

You’ll notice that none of the Patriots have or will do it. Coach Bill has ruled. Woe be unto any player who tries this Kaepernick crap.

"so the sport will suffer further declines in viewership as fans grow increasingly annoyed over the politazation of the greatest sport on Earth"

IMO this is being done deliberately.

The globalist elite bored billionaires can't have the workers watching violent American football. They (our "betters") have already ruled that we are to join the rest of the world in its worship of soccer.

Is there a better way to turn people off of the NFL than players protesting our national anthem ?

Once people lose interest in your product, there is no real way to get them back.

What Goodell fails to understand is that while wearing an NFL uniform, players are required to conform to certain conduct. They wouldn't allow a player to wear his uniform on personal time to attend a KKK rally, would they?

It's unimaginable that the Commissioner has no idea that some players are ruining the branding of the league. If he's allowing it, he's doing it for a reason.
