I am waiting for Goodell to resign his job unconditionally and give it to a person of color. Same with the team coaches. Give your job away. Its only fair.
Growing out his Afro reeks of desperation. We would have all been better if Colin went to a psychiatrist and worked on his self esteem issues.
watch your local high school 2,3,4 A football
I did not even know Izenberg was still alive. I saw him speak at some local event when I was a kid in the 1970s. He seemed old then.
Pardon but was that not Sir Thomas More's defense at his 'trial' and that defense was ignored by Henry's hand-picked judges? Same thing as you were pointing out but from the different direction. In a fair society, SILENCE can not be assumed as affirming or denying. Of course SJWs of the ilk of Savala Trepczynski, executive director of the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley cannot permit that, they need the marching morons.
Thanks for posting this.
Once they bypassed the paying gate receipts by selling their product to TV supported in part by the likes of woke companies like PG and PepsiCo they care little of what the fans think. The kapernick thing is a employee issue camouflaged as a racial matter. If the “fans” shunned the TV and to less extent the gate the NFL would return to football rather then asskissing. Now they are shielded from their fake political positions by their tv revenues. NFL is not a game it is a business. Business cares about the bottom line period. Everything else is conversation. When the players decided to avoid the National anthem they lost me forever.
That should eliminate another 25% of the fans.
Pro sports has been bad for America for quite some time. Consumers should defund it, get off their couches, and get some healthy exercise.
Fair exchange goodell the ass for condellesa rice who said it would be her ideal job. Sounds fair and I think it would be a great trade. Goodell can go back to rest room attendant or whatever he did that glad handing a hole he is.
Would Colin have preferred that his mother terminate his life by abortion?
Then his black life wouldn’t have mattered. He’d be with millions of his Planned Parenthood brothers and sisters.
They can all come back in a year or however long it takes and start up when it's safe. Until then, just keep the sports people talk about contracts, arrests, social justice and wife-beating. What a great escape from everyday news.
What will Jerry Izenberg do when pro-football is less popular than girls’ lacrosse?

Silence is violence
Sign at BLM march yesterday in small town. 200 folks counted 27 people of color
Wonder if they read the Black Lives Matter Manifesto.
Reparations, anti capitalism, etc like all the other Communist demands you’ve heard before
I think that if blacks comprise 70% of the league, and they want to concentrate on racial and social issues, they should resign from the NFL and start their own league. If “White Lives Don’t Matter”, then they don’t need “white” money, as they have become exceedingly rich in this “white” system. Let them start their own league and risk their own money. They don’t need “white folk” any longer, nor, apparently, their money.
I’m with you 100% though I wonder how long before the commies destroy that league too.
BS. Kaepernick was released by the 49ers because he wasn’t any good any more. That’s why he was out, he wasn’t a quality NFL QB any longer. Just like ole RG3. He got hurt, his game was over because he was a runner. The guy up in Baltimore probably runs the same road unless his passing game improves and he stops all this running. It also happened to Cam Newton. All these QBs whose main thing is running will get injured. They will fall apart, all of them do. If they stay in the pocket they will probably last 15 years. If they run, then they are done in 5 to 8 years. It happened to Kaepernick. It will happen to the guy in Baltimore (sorry at this exact minute I cannot remember his name). Simply, Kaepernick is not good enough any longer. He got his money. Give it up. Let him join Al Sharpton’s outfit. He is more fit for that than being a QB in the NFL.
Oh, there will be crowds at NFL games. The stadiums will be crowded, if not packed. They will still have their television revenue, the revenue from the triple overpriced merchandise they sell. Their advertising money. The people who neglect their house payments to pay their season tickets and team memorabilia. The NFL knows their suckers....er fans well./p>
Maybe the NFL can survive as a TV studio sport with no live audience. Or some teams will play all road games for a few years. We'll see. Actually, I don't care either way, but the impact on the overall economy will be significant.
Let the market decide. If you get an invoice today for your season tickets and pay it, knowing what you know now, you’re part of the problem. Nearly ALL of the NFL stadiums were not funded by sjw’s but by TAXPAYERS.
Colin Kaepernick has an Italian birth mother and black birth father. He was adopted into a lily white Lutheran family and grew up in that kind of community. The lily white Lutheran Church is the bunch that imported the Somali refugees into Minnesota, en masse, btw.
Some forget that one of the reasons that he became famous years ago is because he was fairly religious; he has/had Bible verses tattooed on his arms.
Then he met the black SJW gal and she took over his life, ruining his football career, but making him a cultural icon.
And without many millions of ticket buyers and TV viewers, there is no revenue and thus no NFL. They're really rolling the dice on this one.
