In short, Goodell is risking the success of the NFL at the worst time possible.
I got to see Odell Beckham catch an “intentional explosive” from Eli Manning yesterday....
Exactly. Bread and circuses. The NFL (university-indoctrinated folk) has allowed their employees to destroy their very reason for being.
More proggie unintended consequences. Stupid is as stupid does. Karma is.
Lifelong Redskins fan here and I've skipped both games so far. For me to miss a Redskins-Dallas matchup, especially played at home is serious business! Dallas and Washington both behaved honorably regarding the social warfare nonsense. Dallas wanted to wear a sticker that showed solidarity with the DPD and the Redskins, as a team, held the flag before game 1.
My beef isn't with these two teams, it's with the NFL. And unless the NFL apologizes and changes policy I'll sit out the season. I'm sure that has Roger Goodell shaking in his boots...
The NBA will be next. Too many publicity whores there to pass up a Star Spangled cameo.
I am exercising my white privilege by turning the channel.
People watch the NFL for fun, not to have protests and people to despise ON THEIR OWN TEAMS.
It’s not worth it. Period.
A colleague was telling me this morning that he and his wife went grocery shopping during the Steeler game and the store was PACKED.
Time was that you had the store or the mall to yourself whenever the Black and Gold was on the field.
I watch the Ravens they respect the military and don’t put with with thug crap. OBozo’s 9/11 address got booed by a large number of fans.
I like football, and I’ve not watched a drop of NFL yet.
The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

I understand.
Well, HIGH SCHOOL teams are now doing this. So, boycott everything? I mean, at some point it’s impossible.
Excellent news. I have a dislike for the PC bast@rds.
On a side note, I was happy to see the Philadelphia Police union has endorsed Trump for president.
I went to a Rockies game yesterday and there were lots of patriotic recognitions throughout the program.
There was a bit less enthusiasm for the Broncos game going on at the same time.
Want to relax on a Sunday and watch some football? Well they’re in your face now, these SJW’s. So, I’m done.
Impossible???
for me.
Giants fan here. Victor Cruz and Odell Beckam Jr planned to wear special cleats honoring first responders and all who lost their lives on 9-11. They were threatened with a fine for violating the league’s uniform policy. BTW, Victor Cruz’s father was a firefighter in Newark for many years before he passed away in 2007.
The NFL is determined to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. I admire the Cowboys for trying to honor the law enforcement officers who died in Dallas and individual players like Cruz and Beckam who tried to do the right thing.
