The NFL is one tweet away from total destruction.

All Trump has to do is tweet that Goodell should be fired.

The wussy owners would then renew Goodell’s contract, assuring the league’s implosion.

So, why do you suppose all of these owners are willing to stand by while socialism completely takes over? What does that do to their ownership/investment??


Good question, because the only entity with more skin in the game than the owner is the pig that made the football.

No matter which way they go, there will be howling. Since most fans are white, it would seem natural that blacks should do the howling. Have we as country become so afraid to exercise authority that we either freeze or roll over? We make war half-heartedly, too. Maybe we are past the curve of decadence, more of a gas bag than a nation. What other countries pass legislation without knowing what is in it?

Dear grandkids,

Sorry for the mess and the debt.

These would be re-sales of season ticket holders, showing the true market price. How many of these season ticket holders are going to renew at full price for 10 games next year?

Couched in different language.

"If I owned an NFL franchise, I'd be demanding a new commissioner that respected the fans and advertisers.

It’s true.
Had this patsy Goodell done his job and put an immediate stand against this crap, there would not be this little to hell with the NFL thing.
So, since he has shown himself to be an incompetent ass, give him a raise and extend his contract.
Oh yeah NFL, that;s the way to lure fans back.
NOT.

IF HE’D FOLLOWED HIS OWN LEAGUE RULE BOOK HE COULD HAVE STOPPED IT. But he chose to straddle the fence.

I WON’T ENFORCE IT!
