WAY too late? NFL commish Roger Goodell describes what he’d like league to ‘stay out of’
Twitchy ^ | 10-18-2017 | Doug P.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had a press conference today, and said the following:

NBC News ✔@NBCNews

NFL Commissioner Goodell: “What we’re trying to do is stay out of politics. We're not looking to get into politics"

2:20 PM - Oct 18, 2017

(snip)

Katie Pavlich ✔@KatiePavlich

Roger Goodell is a coward. Enforce the NFL anthem policy or not, sitting in the middle by saying people "should" stand is pathetic

It’s almost like Goodell’s playing politics by reacting that way!

So "social justice" activism is not politics. Got it, Roger.

So aligning with Leftist causes is not “politics”.

This was SO EASY, that he clearly is too incompetent for his job.

After the first Colon Kapernick ‘protest’ he should have fined him $1000 and said “NO POLITICS ON THE FIELD”

This would have been done and over.

The NFL can suck it, and Goodell can suck it harder...

At least the hundreds of Parole Agents assigned to the NFL will get better seats now with the stadiums empty.

You forgot 2 zeroes, $1000 is pocket change, $100,000 will leave a Mark.

Does anyone actually care about the Slum Dog Millionaire BLM/NFL at this point?

Maybe he could tell his spokesman to take back his comment that Trump is “out of touch”.

It’s not about politics. It’s about respect for the country that gives you your freedom.

Cops are pigs
Disgracing the flag
Disgracing the flag on foreign soil
Black power salutes on the field

No politics here, hey Roger?

I’ve been saying for years that if the NFL owners wanted to find a way to kill the NFL they could not have done any better than hiring Roger Goodell.

Bullcrap!!! He just doubled-down on politics by organizing some sort of social justice conference.
