Would a soccer team going to Olympics or world cup survive a kneeling at their National Anthem? What would that do the the morale? What about the basket ball drem team? Are we going to praise globalist corporatist logos instead of nations at Olympics, Hungrr hame style?
Seriously, Goddell and NFL have fallen trap for leftist suicide and replacing it with nothing
No. We will have nothing to do wi th them
I know. It's amazing reading the comments on this thread. People jump off half-cocked on the title, but NEVER bother to read the entire article which is much, much more to the point.
they like the white vimen though....they can marry and have children who are half white/half black and they would still belittle whites...
You’re probably right.
The solution if there is one, is a new league with a strict code of conduct. Doubt if it will happen.
It will spread to other sports (already seeing it to some extent!) and the sports franchise Golden Goose will be formally dead.
Waiting for it to ruin college sports!
I happen to “know” Jerry Jones to the point that I have his, and Stephen’s, e-mails. Stephen has replied to a couple of mine. Jerry sent me a beautiful “thank you” for the Patriot’s History of the United States I sent him.
I wrote both of them personally on this issue and told them it would destroy the league.
Well, maybe now they can take up Professional Mixed Badminton, and see if they can get scholarships, and millions of dollars from that.
And anything that is fun or otherwise some joy to one’s life.
Maybe woman’s roller derby can make a comeback.
Good point.
Only a very small percentage become pro athletes.
I’m not all that impressed by Obie’s so-called political skills. He took his community agitators act nationwide...and won because of his complexion.
What is pathetic is Goodell failed to take the hint from President Trump when he told NFL owners, “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of bitch off the field right now. Out. He’s fired!’” Trump said. “Some owner is gonna do that. He’s gonna say, ‘That guy disrespects our flag. He’s fired.’ And that owner, they don’t know it. They don’t know it. They’re friends of mine, many of them. They don’t know it. They’ll be the most popular person, for a week. They’ll be the most popular person in this country.”
Now the NFL is vulnerable to their own demise because they failed to read the sentiments of the American sports fan. Such fans do not want sports to be political. They love football because it is something they can share with their friends. It is something they can talk about with their co-workers because it is names, statistics, instant replay and in living color. It is real life that is not distorted by some reporter or mixed up player. The political issues are a distraction and set friend against friend and co-worker against co-worker.
Ping
Yup. A false hope for most.
They are grown men who hate the flag. Its their right but its just not the same when you watch. How can you cheer for some rich dude who hates the flag?? They have become modern day Gladiators where people may now wish to see them get hurt and suffer. I wonder what percentage of ppl who watch are turned off enough to quit. I am.
“Americas Newest Pastime” Not watching Football.
I have a lot more on this subject so more later. Cheers!!
