Truly I say unto you, Roger Goodell is a bald face liar and an overpaid liar at that.

I know... it still has to be enforced.

One other thing, I will never forgive Goodell for not allowing the Cowboys to wear a sticker or patch to honor the massacred Dallas cops while refusing to end the national anthem protests. That was the last straw for me, forever.

Yup...me too. I'm done with the NFL for life.

"Too little, too late."

Agreed. They should have nipped this in the bud when it first started. Or at least when President Trump called them out for it. They waited so long that they've alienated their fans.

A change in policy may work eventually, but I don't think it's going to immediately make everything okay with the fans.

The best thing about the upcoming NFL season is that College ball starts at the same time.

Enjoy your soccer. I want to watch some Aussie Rules games in season but the time zone difference makes live games inconvenient.

My new passion is Gaelic Football, I like it better than Aussie Rules.

There’s a reason NOLA was the only city who bid on the 2024 Superbowl.

Hows about the NFL make a policy that states:" ALL players will be required to stand during the national anthem,those who do not stand or kneel will not be eligible to take the field that day."

“Look at us! Look at us, we’re doing what we’re supposed to do!” Nice try, but not even close. You disrespected our nation and our flag and you thought we were so addicted to football that we wouldn’t care. You were wrong and once your wallet started to hurt a little you come crawling back, like a wife beating husband.
You took the side of an Anti-American, Anti-Police, Racist Terror Group. It was either corporate cowardice or you really did feel that way. Either way you will not profit one thin dime from me.

Everyone told them to get rid of these players 1 minute after they pulled this stunt but the NFL owners would not listen.

I wonder what is the money cost so far as they seemed to only care about that and not that the players support killing the police and supporting mass murderers like Che and Castro.
We know they lost nearly 40% of the audience the last 2 years.

I hope this means certain folks won’t flame the NFL threads next season but I won’t get my hopes up.

No, looks like FR has its share of right-wing SJW’s. Sometimes I blast them.

“Stand up against idiotic, unAmerican, and unconstitutional federally-backed union strong-arming”, I say, “but don’t play the superior moral role against those of us who enjoy the game regardless.”

I didn;t even realize he had done that- what a low low thing to do
