Screw the NFL! Baseball is America’s passtime. Have you noticed some great ballgames being played? How about those Houston Astros!

The owners and players thought they could count on NFL worship and apathy for political exploitation. They were wrong.

It’s not just the sports world or media that needs it either.

The pain is going to be severe.

The report indicates that many players are “scared” to protest, especially if they are not starters, "People have to feed they family,” the one member of the coaching staff says.

Oh, I get it now.

NFL starters are...

...wait for it...

...(but you know what's coming...)

...VICTIMS!

Predicted all along that these steroid-addled SJWs, most of whom couldn’t identify what they were “protesting”, would lose their “commitment” once the money started to dry up. In my house, the NFL is DEAD and BURIED - no TV, no radio, don’t watch, don’t listen, don’t care and never going back! Let’s see how they’re protesting when they’re unemployed!!

took them long enough to realize their stupid self focused choices really effect others, namely their families.

That graph says the entire story.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

The media, sports-world, “entertainment industry”, and every other face on a boob-tube is in for a real rude awakening very soon.

God will not be mocked and those pushing His Holy Name to the sidelines will find themselves in a no win situation if they do not repent of their wicked ways.

What in the world do they mean by “they family”? These so called “millionaires” are dumber and less educated than my 4 year old. At least he knows how to use the tenses correctly.

Maybe he was showing deference to LGBTQQIP2SAA+ pronouns?

Hogwash.

These pampered, wealthy players can kneel all they want outside their employers' arenas. The league should also prohibit any NFL gear or logos on the players if they want to protest. These "protesting" players are a bunch of whiners that want to protest while at their jobs.

No other employees in the corporate world would be allowed to do what these guys are doing at the office or on company time.

The owners and coaches need to be adults and stand up and tell the players, this is the way it will be or else. Some already have but all need to do it.

Where is Roger Goodell? A "leader" not to be found anywhere. Hiding under his desk instead of saving the NFL from serious problems.

Roger Goodell, please pick up the white paging phone.
