“I think we have to understand that there are people that have different viewpoints”
Doesn’t Goodell realize that free speech is dead in America?
Maybe he got Antifa to approve his position.
There’s “only one side,” Goodell. You piece of corporate s***.
All these Pro sports guys are all terrified of the black athlete.
I guess he finally got hid orders from Robert Kraft.
If I were a coach, and one of these spoiled bastards did that in front of MY TEAM, he would be out of a job and the c-sucker could go to court and fight for his money.
I dont care if it was a player like Rodgers or whoever.
the sound of an employer abdicating responsibility
Eventually he’ll just order the NFL to stop playing the National Anthem before games, which was the original goal of Kaepernick.
It’s like this, punk. Your players will respect their fans and their country, or they won’t be playing and you won’t have a league.
Real damn simple.
2017 NFL = Off.
Funny how corporate America isn’t so “objective” when Christians or others with views which go against the pc narrative express their views even on their own time, much less on company time.
Goodel will go down in sports history as the cuck who destroyed the NFL by being a gigantic pussy. The American middle class is pissed off at the Democrat Party, leftists, SJWs, and the gay mafia and they will take out their wrath on an NFL that is campaigning against them. Football isn’t a necessity, there are substitutes.
Goodell is a disgrace.
When the NFL is no longer economically viable as the result of pi$$ing-off fans, the owners of worthless franchises will have no one but themselves to blame.
We do have to understand the other side. The other side is racist - anti-white, anti-American, anti-police, and anti-freedom. If the NFL is willing to give the other side a voice, then they can do so without my support, my dollars, and my viewership. I do not support evil.
“But we also have to understand the other side, that people do have rights and we want to respect those.”
NFL players disrespecting the American flag and national anthem do so while in NFL uniforms.
Playing for an NFL team.
On an NFL field.
During an NFL event.
During an NFL licensed broadcast.
They can only do these things with the approval of the NFL.
Get rid of them. The NFL, I mean.
So the boycott will continue.
Goodell has calculated that the loss of fans is less costly than
whatever he thinks could happen by laying the law down,
such as a strike.
There are few thing we really have control over. But we do have control over what we spend our spare time and money on. I will read a book, work in my shop, or learn a computer game. No money or time for pro sports, they are all PC.
Even though this controversy has been a thorn in my side since last year. I was still considering taking my soon to be 11yr old to his first pro-football game. Forget it, we’ll go race go-carts instead. Screw them.
