Why Does NFL Order Cowboys not to Honor Slain Policemen but Allows Kaepernick to Disrespect America?

Posted on 08/29/2016 2:40:00 PM PDT by detective

The NFL allows Kaepernick to disrespect America and say we should not “show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” The NFL said the media support Kaepernick and his position. The same NFL denied the Cowboys the right to honor fallen policemen.

The idea was conceived by veteran tight end Jason Witten.

The "Arm in Arm" design honored the fallen officers.

Dspite that strong support from one of the league's most powerful franchises, the NFL has struck down the request for the team to wear the decal during the regular season or its four preseason games. The Dallas organization petitioned to use the decal, but it was denied.

"Everyone has to be uniform with the league and the other 31 teams," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told the Dallas Morning News. "We respect their decision."

What is up with Goodell and the NFL?

The NFL is like the University of Missouri. We see how that went for Missouri. University is a joke enrollment went down.

Poor poor oppressed athlete. Only 10 million dollars a year or so. He’s so oppressed.

HEY. Move to Haiti. No white people to oppress you.

I have an idea.

Football players put black paint under their eyes to cut the glare:

Just put a blue line through it and you have the "thin blue line" symbol:

Let the NFL/BLM choke on that.

Yes, let’s go from watching a sport operated under dubious morals and switch in protest to one that operates on scandalous morals.

The ‘thin blue line’ is sedition, pure and simple, by the dictionary definition.
