The owners and players picked the wrong side of this fight. They will lose badly. It will literally cost owners and players billions of dollars based on the slide in attendance and network viewing. Hopefully Goodell will lose his job over this. They are extremely fortunate that the network contract runs through 2021/22. Players can look forward to drastically lower contract renewals as this cushion expires and the attendance and network viewing sinks.

Jerry Jones said recently that if his players disrespect our flag they will be out of a job! So that’s one NFL owner who has a brain

Why do I get the sinking feeling the global leftists would love it if the NFL failed.

They didn’t criticize Trump they are criticizing me and my nation. May the NFL go to hell and soon.

Several NFL Owners Condemn President Trump’s Remarks on Players Who Protest the Anthem

Who cares about their opinions about the President’s warranted comments. . . they have shown front and center what they think of the United States of America and more importantly the many lives that have been lost to give them the right to be stupid.

The owners don’t really have a choice here. It’s astonishing to have the President of the United States — whose every public statement is covered by the national media and seen by his 39 million Twitter followers — stand up there and publicly castigate an entire industry like this. I don’t think I could even imagine such a thing as recently as a few years ago.

They no longer wish to be the football league of this nation.
Let them get some other taxpayers to pay for their stadiums.

The owners, the league, and the players’ union have had over a year to fix this. This started under Obama’s watch, well before Trump was Elected. They just hoped it would go away or that no one would care. They have way underestimated this one.

Isn’t it well past time to end the NFL’s exemption to anti-Trust Laws?

Leftists have had a free ride for much too long. They are finally being held accountable for their contemptible hatred of our great nation.
Hollywood is on the skids. Support for their vulgarity and obscenity is evaporating before their eyes.
The Democrat party is losing elections and support at a rate that will leave it in the ditch.
Left leaning churches are losing membership at a rate that is closing churches at a precipitous rate.
Environmentalists are losing battle after battle.
Education is increasingly confronted with vigorous opposition to its Marxism.Even the vaunted NFL is facing dramatically reduced support due to its elitist contempt for American ideals.
The people of this nation are rising up. A new day is dawning in America.

Although they may never read this, here’s my message:

Dear NFL Owners-

I’ll make this short and to the point. Your FAN BASE is chock full of patriotic, God-fearing, America-loving people. We love our country, and anyone who says anything bad against it is on our ‘sh*t list*.

Any player from ANY team who refuses to honor America by kneeling or sitting for the National Anthem...those players must be FIRED instantly.

We who are your money-making FAN BASE are growing tired of their crap. Either you give instructions that ALL PLAYERS MUST STAND AND SHOW RESPECT for our country during the National Anthem, or WE, the FAN BASE will NOT WATCH or ATTEND your games. Try to pay those exorbitant player salaries when NO ONE is coming to or watching your games.

You have been warned.

Sincerely,
The America-loving FAN BASE

Trump wishes NFL owners would tell anthem protesters “get that son of a bitch off the field right now”

Love it.

The left infiltrates institutions like a parasite and eat away at it until it dies,in this case the NFL,and in the end, only the parasite is left alive.

The left is letting the All American NFL billion dollar juggernaut kill themselves with leftism. It is quite remarkable and a great portion of America and its institutions are infiltrated and basically destroyed or getting there.

Yahoo sports says six owners/team presidents. (NYG, Miami, Tenn, GBP, ATL, and SF). Arthur Blank was one of the six who is being divisive. Buy at Lowes not Home Depot if you have a choice. Hit not only their NFL franchise but their other businesses.

If they do not like us getting mad at their unpatriotic players, then move the frigging franchise to someplace else, such as North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela. There the players would be loved and cheered.
