The only reason he doesn’t like Donald Trump is because of his race...

Did you hear the audio Rush played of Goodell from last week?

He claims Trumps election will cause more domestic violence.

This, from a guy who overlooks wife beaters, rapists and thugs because they can play a game.

I understand why Hollywood people would have to fake what they think. It is shown by the Hollywood insider that posts here who said that they will say stuff to protect their gig.

I get it

But the rest of these people..you have no excuse.

I’m watching more hockey, college football, and now college basketball since the NFL decided to preach its politics to me.

I don’t get why they kneel - this “taking a knee” thing. You kneel when you pray, NOT when you protest. How did that ever catch on?

Another attention whore.

Are these people bad players who can’t get any attention unless they pull these stupid stunts?
