Roger Goodell makes $30 million a year.
Taxpayers paid $7 BILLION DOLLARS for stadiums around the country.

These people should NEVER have been subsidized like this to begin with!
Amen!
Stunned to see Brees and Payton sitting for the national anthem. Probably biggest surprise. Will never forgive.
Good grief….LA is a poor state. Its taxpayers deserve a tax cut if the state has these extra millions to spend on welfare for the man who makes billions as one of the biggest car dealers in the country. How does this happen?
Boom! Here we go.
No more subsidies, and certainly no new stadiums, for crony-capitalists who are engaged in the culture wars.
NFL is non-profit and sucks billions off of taxpayers. Time to cut that sugar tit off.
New Orleans Satanists
No more taxpayer money to the NFL, Not For Long
Why is that State funding them in the first place?
This is another reason for the revolt against “Big Sports”.
Great idea. Do it.
“The very reason (the Saints) have the privilege and opportunity to play professional football while being paid millions is because someone in uniform died protecting their right to do so. It is a disgrace to the men and women of this nation and state who have sacrificed so much.”
Hard to argue with that!
cue the lefty judge who order that a state CAN’T cut funding to the NFL team as it would be unconstitutional.
Yes, does this take state legislation or can the state government just do it?
These NFL multimillionaire players who are kneelers, sitters, and no shows for the National Anthem are COWARDS - and spitting in the face of America, our military, our veterans, and those wounded and killed in the line of duty to give these morons the FREEDOMS they have today. Our Freedom is NOT FREE. Almost none of these crybaby rich brats ever served our country in the military (the exception is a guy like Villanueva on the Steelers - the only MAN on that team).
Go play football in some third world craphole like those I fought in as a US Army Combat Infantryman.
I am favor of cutting for taking a knee, I am favor of cutting because they stand, I am in favor of cutting because the pray, I am for of cutting because they do not pray. Under all circumstances I am for cutting funding.
OOPS! The NFL will have to change its name. Wouldn’t want to name their league after a NATION, America, would we? How about Nit Flickin’ Louts?
This NFL non-sense, by the knee jerks, may have inadvertently become the catalyst to reduce big government than anything else?working people are fed up with passing our hard earned money away and being given the finger at the same time.
Useful information...
I sent an email to my senators and the White House to stop subsiding NFL and ALL of them....football, basketball, .....if people knew this was going on...giving money to the rich. I spend almost $500 last year on Pittsburgh. Never again! NFL made a big mistake. Even my husband (X military) is turning the channel and I know that painful for him. I’ll love to see this fact go viral.
Shouldn’t be getting this anyway it’s corporate welfare right? The money could be used for other things
