Why would they need to do otherwise?

All of those people gladly paid for the ticket and overpriced food, and they will be back again.

They are on company time when behaving like this, correct? Why isn’t the NFL stopping this?

I needed an excuse to cut the cable cord - goodbye, mindless Sunday entertainment!

With the league forcing players to wear pink throughout the entire month of Oct, supporting BLM and homo activism, getting their panties in a bunch when some players decide to support police and firemen, and tweaking the rules to where where “roughing” is called at least a dozen times per game thus wussifying the sport, the NFL is now unwatchable.

The CFL has way more class than that.

These days why would anyone watch ANYTHING on ANY NFL event to see what they are doing?

This doesn’t affect me in the least, as I haven’t watched an NFL football game since they fired Tom Landry.

Sadly, you are right. Being entertained is the leading value in America now.

Goodell is part of the problem.

I honestly don’t think this will affect any of their fans. Well, maybe a few but, most diehard football fans don’t care as long as they get their game on. And, they will use the justification of it being a first amendment issue. Normal people in normal jobs have consequences, but not the almighty athlete.
I know. Easy for me to say cuz I could not care any less about football. Used to watch but never became fanatical about it. Here in Wisconsin, what I just said, is considered almost sacrilegious. I just don’t get it. lol

The NFL, by its silence, endorses the players support of cop killing BLM and the Islamic terrorists who struck on 9/11.

Inaction by S.F, Denver, K.C., Miami franchises also endorse same.

Goodbye NFL.

> that’s four Dolphin games I won’t be watching, one for each knee keep it up, and they may go blank all season

They're just 4 big babies that want to draw attention to themselves; just like the others. It's because of America's exceptionalism and prosperity that they get the enormous salaries they do. They would never get salaries like this in any other country in the world. Every player who takes a knee should get cut and sent overseas to foreign football leagues to get a taste of the real world.

Except when the networks’ rating go down. That’s when things will change.

My question: How will you know when the country is good enough to stand for the National Anthem?

I know I’ll feel so much better about my country when these jokers let me know. /s

These pampered athletes should be cut from the team. After all this country has done for them!

The NCAA is just the NFL’s incubator.

Roger Goodell is a worthless POS! For that matter so is the whole NFL, the NBA and “professional” baseball. I would not waste a minute of my life on any of these a$$holes. “Professional Sports” is one of the major reasons our country is in the trouble that we find ourselves in. These brain dead idiots who vegetate in front of the TV with a case of beer and some cheese doodles every weekend (or oftener) don’t have enough real brain cells left to make intelligent choices for our elected officials. It’s just too bad George Carlin isn’t still here with us to update his list of “people who need to be killed!”
