yes in 3 easy steps:

1) Dump Goodell

2) Announce that any player who practices politics from the field will be immediately suspended and fined.

3) Make it clear they are free to say what they want, OFF THE FIELD, just not on company time. (this is necessary for the really stoopid libtards)

As one poster here noted—this is a siege and not a battle.

Let’s see how long Goodell lasts.

My prediction—he is out by this time next season—regardless of what his contract says and regardless of what anyone says publicly.

They will make up some lame excuse—but he will be gone.

Good riddance to the NFL.
The racism and anti American acts that have been commited will never be forgiven or forgotten.

The NFL will never recover - this is permanent damage.

It’s doubtful that it is reversible. But, the political angle is just one of the problems.

The game sucks now, that’s the biggest problem. It’s a game focused on referees, not players. It’s heading into wrestling territory.

We stopped watching almost 3 years ago, as the game has become a bore-fest of penalties, challenges, replays and nonsensical referee explanations.

Furthermore, it is true that there remain great inequities in criminal justice, law enforcement, and economic opportunity for various groups of Americans that need to be addressed.

I don't accept that premise at all.

Who cares.

Let them destroy themselves like liberals do all the time.

Goodell is only part of the problem.

The NFL has a Vice President for Social Responsibility who is paid more than many players. (Anna Isaacson)

And their marketing VP is also a very liberal woman.

Lots of people would need to be replaced and even have their positions eliminated.

But...will he get to keep his plane? And his insurance?

This piece of drivel is NOT TRUE.

I am sick to death of reading this garbage,

They are there on Goodell’s watch.

His successor can send them back into the slime-pit from which they came.

Football holds a special place in the American civic spirit.

Not anymore. That's the first thing that went, and the only thing saving the NFL from destruction is pure economic bulk. At the moment.

Fifty years building that status, two to lose it. No, sending the teams to the locker room during the anthem won't cure the problem. No, phony shows of false patriotism won't cure it either. The NFL will totter on for a time but it won't ever be like it was.

NFL needs to fire the Clinton crony Joe Lockhart who is their Director of Communication..

Joe Lockhart was Clinton’s Press Secretary during the Monica fiasco and the impeachment.(When Monica took a knee for Bill)

He rented his house in Washington DC to the Obamas when they moved from the WhiteHouse.

His wife is an Exectuive Editor with Glamour Magazine and Conde’ Nast, who also owns GQ Magazine. Thus the Colin Kaepernick GQ A-Hole of the Year..

Same Company owns the Alabama newspapers blasting Roy Moore.

It’s all part of the swamps tentacles.
