Another “ list of demands”
How about if the cost of “ activism month” is deducted from their paychecks

These people have learned the shake-down scheme well from Jesse and Al. I’m just surprised they didn’t demand reparations while they were at it, or does that come latter.

Man, these guys are KILLING the NFL (not for long).

Unbelievable.

To the left, everything is political. Everything.

If they want “equality” they should give their millions of dollars to poor blacks.

White fans pay most of the NFL’s income.

Promoting thugism is certain to tick off the white fan base (even more) to the point where we just won’t watch any more.

Face it, many of us are there already and many more are right on the edge.

If the NFL agrees to this then they will cease to exist by 2020.

There is no doubt that football does irreversible brain damage to NFL players.

There is now evidence starting to come out that brain changes begin in young kids who play football.

There might be a good reason for baseball to remain America’s favorite pasttime.

Maybe the whole NFL can wear brown shoes in solidarity with the kaepernicking scumbags.

If I were the union...I’d go to the players and suggest that they might all want to review their home budgets and look at the fan reaction to affect pay offerings in 2018. If you had a $350,000 paycheck for 2017....with weak fan attendance and a loss of 10-percent of the viewers...you might want to prepare for a 90-percent pay offer for next season.

It’s like an opera....once you realize that the fat lady really can’t sang that well, and she hypes up people over some social agenda during the performance....why would I pay $75 a seat for the opera?

There’s some harsh times coming for the NFL. I think a fair number of NCAA players will be offered contracts, and some NFL players will be shown the door in 2018. A weaker game, but it’s what the players lost sight of.

Should 50% of each team be black for that month?
Or do they want the quotas to match the general population (10-15%)?

The first would be “equal”. But the second sounds “more fair”.

I think this would be a great way to set an example of how they want the rest of the country to work. Assuming the quotas are reflected in on-field play, not hidden with bench warmers.

We need more white, Hispanic and Asian players in the MFL. The blacks have a monopoly on it. That has got to stop!

Racial equality does not mean disrespecting our flag and our history.

Boycott the NFL!!!!

Fine. Let's make the NFL racially equal. 73% white, 13% black, 5% Asian, 9% remainder.

Note: Hispanic most likely included in white and remainder, but you get the idea.

If Goodell goes for this, he is effectively saying that the purpose of the NFL is to promote and/or protect these “human rights” causes. They will lose money at such a rapid rate, he won’t know what happened.

If I had an authoritative voice at the NFL, I would answer the letter of the NFL players seeking support for “racial equality” advocacy and similar “awareness” advocacy efforts, that charities such as breast cancer awareness and recognizing the nation’s military are non-political support, not political advocacy. I would add that NFL players are not prohibited, in their own and on their own time, organizing fellow NFL players for any other cause they choose, but, to the extent that they are political, controversial and not honored by all NFL players, the NFL would not get involved.

Attn: NFL Team Owners

Subj: You make too much money

We need to do stupid, self-defeating things to drive down both out box office and TV royalties. We need to convince a lot of football fans that our sport is more annoying than entertaining.

On the plus side, there will be far fewer concussions and other injuries to players. And with our revenues plummeting, we won’t need to pay them as much.

Dare to be Stupid.

Yrs,
Roger Goodell
Yeah, you voted for me for Commissioner

If there was racial equality in the NFL then half the players would be white!
