I would accept locking arms

Locking arms is so they can't put their hands over their hearts.

Concur, ridesthemiles. Most Americans now don’t know what it is to serve a higher purpose. Lazy, spoiled, ungrateful brats.

I agree...locking arms is just another racist farce put out by these low life “Racist” NFL losers!!! Cover your heart with your right hand, stand and sing with the national anthem, thanking God and the American military that keep you free while you bad mouth your country!!!

What I would like to see is the fans turn their backs on the players when they take the field.

Look...Condy Rice is woman and person with many talents, she is an accomplished pianist, an outstanding sports fan, love and adores the game of football, and has many other interests then politics. However, she loves her country and people. Forgetting her politics, I still believe she would be a fair and outstanding football commissioner, job she has been seeking for almost all her life.

You should start up a Condi fan club. For whatever reason, you are totally smitten with her. Who cares if she is an accomplished pianist, outstanding sports fan, adores football, and has been seeking the job of being NFL commissioner all her life. There are probably millions of people who fit that description. And why are those attributes so important to doing the job?

Why don't you just come out and state the obvious, i.e., she is black and a woman. It is how she got to where she is now. Colin Powell is more qualified than her if those are your criteria sans gender.

She should beats out failed, weak sister, low life human being useless Roger Goodell, IMHO!!!

The owners decide who is the commissioner. It has nothing to do with merit but with who will represent the interests of the owners the best.

>Guys like Jordy Nelson weren’t allowed to play until everyone on the bench got hurt. Had to be walkons in college. No invites, no help whatsoever. Zach Zenner...breaks the all time college record with 3 straight 2,000 yard sessons rushing...not even drafted. Leads the NFL preaseason in rushing yards after the Lions pick him off the scrap heap....end of the bench! Has a great playoff game after the rest of the backs got hurt. Now he doesn’t even dress for games! NFL has story after story of these guys.

This is the story; playing a game for money is a privilege, and however you slice it, there are many others of equal or better talent that can take any player’s place, and we know it.

The owners could easily replace the thugs no matter what community agitator stirs them up, but they don’t, because they agree. The other players could easily clobber the thugs, but they don’t, because they agree.

Now the push is on to force us to agree, and I expect to see every irrational tactic from appeal to loyalty (despite the obvious hypocrisy) to name calling of every -ism under the sun, social media censorship, MSM blackouts, you name it.

Woo hoo, just heard from a relative who got a call from his friend who is head of the uniforms and such for the NFL that he’s pulling out.

Winning.

Maybe if we actually stop paying attention to these knuckleheads, they’ll stop.

They are not going to stop unless there are consequences for their actions. This is all about identity politics and energizing the black vote, which failed to turn out for Hillary in the same numbers as for Obama. Antifa, BLM, and now the essentially black movement (NFL,NBA, and other sports) to diss the flag and anthem are just ways the Dems use to get out the vote. They are trying to re-create the 1960s civil rights movement ignoring all of the progress that has been made in race relations. It is now about oppression and police brutality of minorities. It is snowballing and polarizing.

If the owners were smart, Goodell would be canned before sunset. If they had been really smart, they would've canned him as soon as kraperdick started his shenanigans.
Rush is right: “liberals” are hostile to football, and dissing conservatives is no way for the NFL to improve its bottom line.

You are right, too - Goodell is now the face of disrespect for the NFL’s fanbase. In the long run the NFL will have to ditch Goodell - and the sooner the better less worse.

Sorry, friend, I call ‘em as I see ‘em. Colin Powell to me is pure “Obama” scum and failure!!! I could care less about any person being Black or anything else. If they are proving they are low life buffoons...they are low life buffoons, regardless of which skin color they are.

You are no conservative if you support Condi Rice and her mentors, the Bushes.
