The NFL better hope that the latest allegations (came out today) againt Buffalo Bills player, LaSean McCoy, are false. He has been accused of domestic violence, drugs, and more. The pictures of the facial damage he has been alleged to cause are too graffic/brutal to show on here.

challenging new policy that forces all players to stand on the field during the anthem

Does nothing of the sort. The players can choose not to exit the dressing room till the Anthem has completed. They are forced to do nothing. Bunch of millionaire children with fools for a union.

The NFL is as dead to me as Fredo is to Michael Corleone.

When I watch a sport, I expect there to be a sport played.

If they choose to protest, then I am not watching a sport, I am watching a protest.

I don’t watch protests.

AMF NFL

That was my first thought, too! I’m hoping that, as a result of their “protests” (none of them are entirely sure what the hell they’re protesting), they take the NFL down so far that the team’s - and, by extension, their - revenue starts to decline precipitously. Damn near every one of these guys has been coddled since childhood because they can run, throw or catch a frickin’ ball; it’s time they had a first-hand lesson in economics.

There are plenty of openings with FedEx and UPS for young men with strong backs. And kneeling, anyway, is the safest method for picking up heavy boxes. So, there ya go!

The anti-American nfl is DEAD! The commissioner, owners, managers, coaches and thug players strangled their fan base "goose that laid their billion dollar eggs" to death with their own hands.

The nfl HATES US and HATES OUR COUNTRY! Therefore, we staunchly refuse to give the nfl a penny. Never watching another nfl game, never buying another piece of nfl merchandise... period.

Ridiculous. Players can protest however they want when they are not on the clock.

It’s not just the ticket sales that got their attention. Sponsors got lots of comments from people, clothing sales (jerseys, etc.) sales fell sharply. Many people (myself included) stopped watching when players knelt for the US Anthem, and stood for the UK anthem in London.
