Politically correct professional sports.The NFL is passing a rule change that a team will be penalized 15 yards for uttering “offensive “ comments on the field. It will be interesting to monitor the ratings. Sadly America is a culture in decline and decadent. Free speech is being limited in every venue possible.

I wonder who's going to be the judge of "offensive comments" uttered on the field in the heat of play?

Will it be referees who have been forced to attend classes on correct football jargon at an "Obama Re-Education Camp for Football Referees"?

I foresee no one attending pansy pro football games anymore even if it was to watch the Chicago Bears playing the Twelve Apostles.

There’s still free speech. There is not going to be jail for anyone. But a private organization has the right to limit speech. You can say anything you want. But there are no protections against consequences from speech.
