Can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
The magic of the NFL is gone.
Back in an age when Men played the Game.
Turn off the lights the partys over...
Y.A. Tittle quit football after kneeling in the end zone and sold insurance. He hung Berman’s photograph in his office with the caption, “Nothing Comes Easy.”
I feel sad for the snowflakes, they have no men like this to look up to; DiMaggio, Tittle, Neil Armstrong... we had real heroes.
Goodell would suspend players over rules that didn’t even exist.
His unpredictability and liberal politics wrecked the league.
We might be reaching the point where an interesting dynamic will unfold. I'm sure many teams refused to bench talented players because they don't want to pay the price by losing on the field, but the NFL is getting to a point in the season where teams are dropping out of contention. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few teams start dropping some of their protesting players -- even star players -- to the inactive roster on game days.
Insane commie libs are very well-known to ALWAYS “kill the goose that lays the golden eggs”. They poison everything they touch. The NFL is just about a classic example as anyone would ever want to see.
Education, finance, religion, etc.....You name it, they’ve killed it.
The POSs belong in an insane asylum. They’re useless as teats on a boar hog.
I felt dirty. Like I had cheated on my country. Won't do that again.
Liberals conflate various issues here.
1. Liberals state that we have 1st amendment rights, freedom of speech, etc. and that the players are exercising their freedom of speech. Liberals do not state that the players are there “on company time” when at the game. Liberals make it sound as if none of us can say anything because of the 1st amendment. Liberals don’t seem to grasp that we customers/consumers/general public, also have freedom of speech to be critical of the players.
2. Liberals state that Trump has somehow initiated this situation. Kapernick was the first player, followed by others. Trump simply used his freedom of speech, to state his opinion. Liberals make is sound as if Trump somehow can fire NFL players. Of course he can’t, the players work for the individual teams. The liberals make it sound as if Trump somehow is chilling freedom of speech.
3. Liberals bring race into it, because the players are protesting the whole canard about cops shooting black men for no reason. And it seems almost all protesting players are black. The liberals being the way they are, equate any opposition to a cause pushed by members of minority groups as racism or bigotry.
4. The liberals don’t seem to understand, that while we have freedom of speech, the rest of us who hear and see this freedom of speech also have our freedom of speech, to disagree with whatever cause is being pushed by protesters of all stripes.
What else are libtards known for? They could literally screw up a rock fight...
They should not be getting tax breaks, plain and simple.
I had to look the picture up ...... link:

“The NFL and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country and our culture”
I’m not even sure I understand what that is supposed to mean.
“Can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
The magic of the NFL is gone”.
Yep, it’s ruined and spoiled forever.
Nothing they try will be sincere and people know it.
Disagree. The NFL owns the game. Their rules are followed by the owners.
FLASHBACK: NFL Banned Teams From Honoring Murdered Cops; Threatened Players Honoring 9/11
No matter the outcome, I’m done with NFL. I won’t watch a bunch of players who are forced to stand for the national anthem. It’s too late, I already know how they feel about my country.
Indeed. A good idea to live by.
“The NFL has no authority to discipline players over this crap.”
That’s an ignorant statement since you have not read all the involved contracts and agreements.
