Something else Obaba really kicked into high gear.

All of this post Obama BS is ALL Obama's doing. He really brainwashed the masses. Most of us Conservatives knew from day one Obama is bad news for America. Just think how close we came to getting another Clinton.

Yes, you see Goodell’s father marching alongside of the far left Mr. Magoo, then a senator from South Dakota. James Buckley won a three way race for New York Senate in 1970, running far ahead of Goodell’s old man, who won only 23 percent of the vote (he ran on the Republican and Liberal Party lines).

Target and JC Penney CEOs made similar noises before the hammers came down from angry (former) customers.
Wait for it ...

Part of why scumbo Goodell is overpaid is that the US Defense Department PAID the NFL teams $ 5.4 million to host military tributes at the football games. Why does taxpayer money have to be used to PAY for “tributes” by these taxpayer subsidized billionaires and the compensation of the ungrateful scum that play for them? Since when do the American Legion, local fire departments, police unions and others get PAID to have parades in which military units are marched or honored??

And, Roger, I’m proud to not watch Monday Night Football tonight. You aren’t proud of players exercising their right to celebrate a touchdown in the endzone - they get penalized for that. No freedom of expression there!

Tom Brady said that what President Trump said was “divisive”.

What Tom and his ilk fail to see is that the Kaepernick kneel is what is “divisive”. It is not divisive to stand at attention for the national anthem. It is courtesy and respect for all who have fought to defend that flag. Yes, mostly white folks for sure, but many black folks as well. Thousands and thousands of those folks paid the ultimate price with their lives. Is that “divisive”, Tom?

Forget the country Tom. Look to your own NFL rule book. You taunt another player or show too much celebration , or don’t stand for the anthem you are supposed to be penalized. Which is more “divisive” Tom, “taunting” another player or not taunting? Do you condone ridiculing your teammate for a botched play? No, that is “divisive”. Yet you can not allow your fellow teammates and fans to honor their country by standing for the national anthem. Instead you encourage a minority of your teammates to “taunt” them and their beliefs.

Spoiled rotten hypocrites, all.

I’m proud of Ranger Villanueva; you, Goodell, and the rest of your overpaid and unappreciative gang-bangers and pampered pussies can go straight to hell. Why anyone would take seriously a bunch of millionaires bitching about inequality is absolutely stupefying.

Including the teams that were overseas in a foreign country protesting the United States there...

This is pitiful.

Do not boycott the NFL - just make a clean break and never come back. Make it a point to watch something else so it shows up in the ratings.

I am not proud of Roger Goodell after his protecting slobs who would not stand to honor the flag and the country. I would be glad to see him go now.

It is not divisive to stand at attention for the national anthem. It is courtesy and respect for all who have fought to defend that flag.

There is absolutely no reason they can come up with to protest during the national anthem, none whatsoever. It is a national disgrace that these spoiled players, coaches, owners, and commissioner doesn't understand this.

This has been a huge fail when you go reading around the internet and social medias. I've read very few defending these people protesting. Roger Goodell needs to resign and apologize for the mess he helped to create. I told them in an email that I will NOT be buying any NFL merchandise till Goodell is gone and the politicizing of the NFL is gone.

At least Steelers QB, Ben Roethlisberger is coming around regretting not coming out and standing for the national anthem. He realizes that is not the time to protest for what it stands for so at least he gets it now. I just hope eventually the other players realize this, Goodell is gone, and politics no longer has a place in the NFL.

If they continue to double-down on lunacy and anti-Americanism, I will never support them again.
