"Goodell presented a proposal to NFL owners at the meeting last week that included ways to amplify players’ work on social issues.

The commissioner had earlier said that he thought everyone should stand for the national anthem, but said after the meeting last week that the league would not require players to stand.
"

Like when a patrolman turns on lights for a car stop, and the driver stops the car. Then, the driver takes off, driving away. And pulls over again, until the patrolman gets out of the cruiser. Then, the driver of car speeds away again. And so it goes.

OK. I want an NFL that "looks like America."

Goodell’s social engineering lumping regional competeing team games viewing all at the same times instead of having them rotate and follow each other doesn’t much help local sports bars. But probably does reduce the 08 revenue. Plus makving them start at the Sunday noon dinner hour keeps em home and not in the stadium.

Responding to progressive propagandist Trevor Noah, host of “The Daily Show,” who has been hosting his show from Chicago, where he has been bashing conservatives former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clark appeared on FOX Business to discuss not only Chicago but also the anti-American NFL protests against the American flag and the National Anthem.

The NFL is slowly starting to get the message—Goodell needs to go.

However, we must remember they are dumb as rocks and need continual reinforcement.

Boycott!

The NFL allowed itself to morph into an ally of the anti-police BLM.

I agree the NFL players /even Coaches—or any American has a right to political protests. Having said that NO TEAM—NO Player-QB inclusive-No Coach has a right to expect respect for “taking a knee” pretending to be “a dog marking his territory/taking a pee “ Nobody has a right to give the divisive -anti-American Black power /Nazi salute during the National Anthem Teams do NOT have the right to expect respect when Teams endorse/advance such displays, during our National Anthem. Any excuse for such disrespect is NOT accepted.I will continue my non support so long as any Team allows players to make political statements in uniform /on the field /during OUR National Anthem That is neither the time nor the place for playing politics.

We will not give one cent to NFL now.
And,more and more people and fans are starting to do the same

nobody likes to be insulted or disrespected like the NFL players are doing to the fans now

and it sure wouldn’t hurt the players to at least show a little respect for our flag, after all athletes have shown respect for their flags (or city gods) for thousands of years of human history going back to, and before, Rome. Colin had a $120,000,000.00 contract...to just stand there for two minutes would not have done him any harm

The American lack of interest in the anti-White anti-American NFL is going to be what it is. They can make what they want with the carcass. The NFL is dead to me forever.

NFL: Negros, Felons, and Liberals.

I was thinking about Condi, too, because of what she’d said about her dream job. I wouldn’t want her back in DC politics, but the NFL would be perfect.
