Just FYI,Roger...I'm planning lots of yard work tomorrow.The whole day,in fact.And then tomorrow evening we'll be going out to dinner.

Particularly given that I'm of the demographic that can afford to buy products from NFL sponsors like Mercedes,Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and Neiman Marcus Department Store you might wanna rethink your position.

Well they sure are raising a lot of “ awareness”
Of how little respect they have for this country and a great great many of their fellow Americans
We show respect for the flag
They show contempt

You don’t need to watch the game to watch the cheerleaders. There’s also YouTube

They will adopt a ‘players-in-lockers-during-anthem’ policy, but plenty of damage can’t be undone.

I don’t care anymore. But I would like to see the NFL go bankrupt. Just for amusement of course.

There you have it the so called NFL Commissioner who won’t enforce the rules to stand for the anthem . More worried about Tom Brady’s deflated footballs when his own middle pair are seriously flattened. Another Loyyyywerrr lefty gelding triangulated by pc propaganda. Roger and out.

Great point. That’s the real problem.

In a bigger sense, that’s the problem with hiring people who aren’t in their job because they love the job, but are instead in the job primarily for the money. Or, stated another way, they don’t mainly love the job, they love the money they make in the job.

Once an organization crosses this line, it’s only a matter of time before it completely runs off the rails.

The NFL and Monica Goodell are totally out of touch with their fans. WOW! Soon to go the way of JC Penny’s

Several years ago when Rush said that liberalism would be the death of the NFL, he seemed crazy.

Dear NFL,

I won’t be renewing my Chiefs season tickets....EVER.

I was able to tolerate the high ticket prices, overpriced vendors, over valued merchandise, loan-shark parking prices, the traffic and putting up with increasing scuffles in the stands with drunk fans.

This is just the cherry on the top.

No thanks. I’ll take my hard earned money elsewhere.

I’ll just stick to curling (and that ain’t a sarc either)

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw in Playboy many decades ago. An obviously drunk man is standing in his doorway at about four in the morning while his angry wife glares at him, holding a rolling-pin at the ready.

"I can explain the lipstick on my collar," the man declares. "I used my shirt to wipe my p3cker!"

Remember when they ran off Rush as a commentator on ESPN?

Remember when Rush was offered a limited partnership with the Rams until the SJWs screeched and the owners freaked out?

Yeah...I still remember.

Glad he’s not part of that crap anymore.

I hope police departments in NFL cities decline duty on game days and let them use mall cops for security.

I’m guessing that most of the fans who have walked away from the NFL in recent weeks were already sick of it for other reasons. This whole disaster just gave them a great opportunity to walk away as part of a principled stand.

“Where are the adults?”
********************
Patriotic adults are PERMANENTLY boycotting the NFL and ANYTHING associated with it.
