Afterwards, each player can select his own issue(s) for which to be an advocate ON HIS OWN TIME—not company time.


Offseason would be a good time...

Though technically still on the payroll, at least its not during game time which for many of us WAS a nice break from politics....

What never gets mentioned is Goodell is a hardcore radical leftist.


And paid 45 million a year to be a jerk

Good thinking, but it will come down to whether stadiums are considered private property. (despite the tax breaks used to fund them)

If deemed private property, the teams can dictate the behavior of the fans, and it’s not a FoS issue.

Just as movie theaters can prohibit patrons from exercising the 2A rights. It won’t be a criminal act to violate stadium policy, but they can ask the fans to leave.

Where does the NFL get off backing any sort of legislation?

The old Met Center arena in Bloomington, Minnesota had multi-colored seats that would disguise the fact that many of them went empty.

I expect the NFL to adopt this strategy shortly.

Put a fork in it, the NFL is done.

The NFL has chosen sides...

The NFL stands WITH white liberal elites and WITH angry radical sections of the black community that prop up the power of white liberal elite.

The NFL does NOT stand with traditional Americans, working class Americans of all races, OR the middle-class... AND WE DO NOT STAND WITH THEM.

Yes, when the NFL breathes it’s last weak death rattle, they will say that it is proof that this country is racist.

NFL death rattle—sounds like sweet sweet music—let’s make it happen.

Think of it as “social change” in action.

I saw my first anti-NFL bumper sticker here in the Jacksonville, FL area today. A figure peeing on the Jacksonville Jaguars name. I got a chuckle out of that.

This is lunacy.

I wonder how many NLFer’s are smart enough to realize they’re being used?
