The NFL only supports on field speech that it agrees with. Some speech is not allowed.

Wonder what would happen if a player wanted to make an anti-abortion statement on the field? Do you think for a minute Roger Goodell would back him? Would the NFL Players Association defend his right?

Yeah, that would have been too controversial.

Might have alienated the NFL's large fan base among the pro-cop-shooting community.

I started watching the raiders/redskins game when I saw the bro’s link arms and take a knee during the anthem.

I thought they were done with this crap.

As much as I love the NFL game, I am done with it. No watch, no follow, no nothing. It is like cricket or soccer — no exist.

Maybe I am the critical mass.

I remember when the NFL made RGIII turn his shirt inside out during a press conference.

They’re hypocrites and are running scared from the majority “protected class” that plays for them.

That cinches it. The NFL IS NOT operating it’s “free speech” agreements without bias. This incident back in August with the Colts, against what they are allowing players and owners to do now shows the mass hypocrisy of the NFL.

Who says they need “permission”? Do it anyway. What can the NFL do?

The Cowboys are the bad guys now.

~~~~~~~~~~~

This rule applies to the antics of today as well.

Rule 5, Section 4:
ARTICLE 8. PERSONAL MESSAGES. Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience...........

The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns.

Page 23, 2017 OFFICIAL PLAYING RULES OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

I hope the NFL goes down in flames for trying to place themselves and their hoodlums above the flag of the United States.

Disagree. They’re scared of the (left) media. Hence like many others, they’ve chosen to adhere to political correctness, which means cowering to the desires of the left.

Guess they must have missed the results of the last Presidential election.

Off topic for today’s demonstrations, but, don’t those rules also prohibit how the league endorses Susan G. Komen with pink showing on uniforms and other objects???
