NFL History
-- NFL History...history not often reported or leaked to the ticket holders. I hope this helps you; it opened my eyes, to understand just when the public’s respect for the NFL organization started to crumble....
* In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take it off.
* In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.
* In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said "Know Jesus Know Peace" but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.
* In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing "Find the Cure" eye black for breast cancer awareness.
* In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem...).
*In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.
* 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.
So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression, all of a sudden... It seems quite clear based on these facts that the NFL has taken a position against any action by NFL players demonstrating RESPECT for any issue: For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily for being cops, for the Memory of 9/11...
BUT they will allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America , and for the American People, if it will help mollify a particular Group and its supporters. That is who and what the NFL now is shown itself to be.
Pass this post along to all your friends and family, if you believe it worthy of sharing.
Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.
PerWiki.
Joseph Patrick “Joe” Lockhart (born July 13, 1959) is a spokesman and communications consultant, best known for being the White House Press Secretary from October 5, 1998 to September 29, 2000, during the administration of U.S. President Bill Clinton.
Afterwards, he worked as press secretary for several Democratic politicians, including Walter Mondale, Paul Simon, and Michael Dukakis, and he was an advisor to John Kerry during his 2004 presidential campaign.
He subsequently founded and became managing director of the communications consulting firm Glover Park Group, worked for Facebook from 2011 to 2012, and was executive vice president of communications and public affairs for the NFL from 2016 to 2018.
I stopped watching when they cut Hank. It’s been so many years I can’t count.
They cleaned up Wiki. It used to say he was press secretary during the Monica fiasco.
Football is too violent for SJW snowflakes.
There’s usually an old Jimmy Stewart movie on another channel...
They are the jock strap sniffers ...
BOYCOTT THE NFL!™
They are in for another season of plummeting ratings and falling revenue.
I am certain that the kneelers are going to defy the new rules and stage a protest on opening day.
Thank you for posting this.
I support the NFL and the players right to promote any cause they choose. I’m sure they will support my right to protest by ignoring the NFL football season.
Its all good.
Not only have I turned the NFL off for ever but I verbally excoriate anyone that I know that still watches it.
If you support traitorous filth, you ARE traitorous filth and should be shamed for it!
“There remains a group of dunderheads who, come September, and despite knowing better, will be watching, cheering & discussing the antics of these anti-American SJWs. Their addiction seems unshakeable.”
Surprisingly that includes quite a few freepers.
Goodell owns this.
Remember the Alinsky rule: Make it personal!

Meet the [35] Police Officers Murdered by the Black Panthers [and BP offshoot Black Liberation Army]
The Professional Gunfighter
Posted in: News, Politics, Terrorism
Below are the names and photos of 35 Police Officers who were murdered by the Black Panthers and the subsequent Black Liberation Army in the 60s, 70s and 80s [click link for list and details].
The Black Liberation Army was an organization that grew out of the Black Panther Party, composed of former Black Panther Party members, operating from about 1971-1980. Another two police officers on the list were murdered by the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group with ties to the Black Liberation Army.
Despite this readily available information, today the internet was full of articles criticizing those who were upset by Beyonce’s Super Bowl Halftime performance, and questioning how anyone could be upset over a woman “affirming her blackness.” Their analysis couldn’t have been more off.
We have no issues with someone “affirming their blackness” or any other identity they want to affirm. We do take issue when people pay homage to a group that used terrorism and violence to promote racism and revolutionary socialism – a group that murdered dozens of police officers in cold blood.
As you scroll through the list of officers below, look at their photos and read their stories. Among these officers are black men and white men. Rookies and veterans from across the country. Most were killed in unprovoked attacks and ambushes. They all left behind families….
Perhaps Beyonce, someone from the NFL, and someone representing CBS, could read through this list and tell us if they still stand by their decision to honor the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl. Then perhaps they could explain their answers to the surviving wives and children of these fallen officers. ...”

True dat! They have been showing their true colors for sometime with the unsavory SB halftime debauchery.
My realization of that was when they refused to let Rush buy into a team.
