I can just see Roger Godell taking to the podium tomorrow morning in formal attire, waving his top hat in one hand and a piece of paper in the other declaring "Peace in our time."

The NFL has no idea that not only has the camel pushed its nose under the tent that it came in, ate the buffet, crapped on the floor and chased all the guests away.

Over under on the collapse of the league went from 5 to 3.

They are so done, so finished and just oh so clueless.

They lost 20-25% of their TV viewers.

They got $7 BILLION in taxpayer money to build stadiums.

Just wait for the next vote!

NFL was murdered by SJWs. NEVER let your HQ be in New York. It’s the kiss of death.

The brand of social justice that destroys communities and crusades against law enforcement?

Go to Hell, NFL.

The NFL continues to knuckle under to left-wing propaganda b.s. while getting no actual agreement or concession in return about ending the flag/anthem protests!!

This is simply further evidence of the feeble-minded Roger Goodell and his merry band of owners kissing up to the most radical element among the players.

We can expect that the funds will be channeled to crappy left-wing activists boasting of their commitment to “social justice” i.e., cop-hating and white-hating b.s.

Meanwhile, nothing will require an end to the protests, and the more radical players (some of whom are already described by ESPN as “breaking off” from the Malcolm Jenkins group which has been “negotiating” with the league) will certainly feel free to continue their own b.s.

Extortion, with no promise to end the protests.
Lose/lose.
Keep it up, losers.

Mismanaging itself into a reduced marketable product, the NFL is now going to commit over $100 million of it’s funds to a Leftist’s sedition project.

One day this will all be worth something after all.

Textbooks will herald what the NFL did to itself.

Don’t try this at home...

Blackmailed for 100,000,000 dollars. Could have avoided it by just firing one guy.

They got $7 BILLION in taxpayer money to build stadiums.

Well, maybe they can use them now for monster-truck, moto-cross, sprint car venues.

Bring some good-ole red-neck entertainment to the big cities.

Remember a year ago or so it was vitally important to African American community to have police accountability? Suddenly they started wearing body cams at the demands of BLM types.

Now all of these body and dash cams are showing the way they act “peacefully” around police. Suddenly they are calling for body cam reform, etc. watch the same thing happen to the NFL within a year and have all their money, what ever is left of it, be wasted with no real results.

Said no NFL fan anywhere.

Once and organization is taken over by SJWs and Commies it never comes back short of a firing squad.
