Over two short press appearances, the NFL commish could not stop repeating the same two words
Without a doubt this is already an NFL season Roger Goodell can't wait to drop kick into distant memory. As players' political activism increasingly encroaches onto the playing field, ratings are getting blitzed.
Over the first six weeks, NFL ratings are down 7.5 percent as compared to last season, per Nielsen. They're down 18.7 percent from the 2015 season. (Commenting last year on the decline, Goodell punted, blaming the presidential election for America's fading interest.)
Faced with such awful stats, it's incontrovertible that if Goodell were himself a player, he'd have already been cut.
But Goodell is clearly intent on retaining possession of his commissionership. His game plan appears to be encouraging players to remain committed to "the issues in their communities" while also telling fans he agrees these athletes should stand for the national anthem.
Over the last two days Goodell has huddled with NFL team owners and the Players Association. Speaking to the press about how he intends to salvage the season, Goodell came up incomplete. As he fumbled for words, a very odd verbal tic emerged.
Over the course of about 20 minutes before the press, Goodell used the same two words no fewer than 45 times.
Watch the montage above to see this bizarre verbal tic in action.

Good analysis and well said!
I’d like to see a story with the date of Kaeperick’s first protest,the ratings before the first protest and the ratings dive (that continues to this day) for every game after. The NFL is in denial of the truth and is committing suicide. The fans want ENTERTAINMENT, not POLITICS.
Exactly.
It seems that everything, including entertainment, is politicized today because the Left (and Soros) have chosen to broaden the Culture War. They want a battle everywhere.
Great post.
And Joe Lockhart rented, then sold, the creepy mansion in Washington DC to Barry and Michael Obama. And Valarie Jarrett moved in with them there. They are behind the scenes in all of this.
Joe Lockhart is not just a political creature. He is a Clinton c**ksucking political creature, one of the most despicable Clinton ass-residents of all.
And the NFL has chosen him to lead this charge.
I so hate the GD Clintons.
Goodell answer is to pay off the malcontents.
He appeared to be worried, very worried!
Well said. Thank you.
Colin, thanks to you as a BLM/NFL useless idiot, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and in our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!
NFL = NEW FAR LEFT!
More NFL teams renamed: Oakland Traitors, Baltimore Cravens, Buffalo Bolsheviks, Green Bay Pinkos, Washington Red Guards, Los Angeles Chekists, Jacksonville Jacobins.
The Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!
KneeGroes, because they were not held accountable, have now gone from protest to blackmail to extortion.
Nice little league you gots here. Ima letya keeps it you gimme what I wants!
Be back next week with mo demands.
ROTFLMAO
Let the “virtuous” NFL spoiled brats go be virtuous in their communities on their own time. They have plenty of time to do that.
And Goodell IS a cowardly putz.
Keep “taking a knee,” @ssholes. You will reap what you sow.
