Sure. It had nothing to do with thugs taking a knee during our national anthem.

The NFL’s guiding principle seems to be “Never say anything bad about any black person for any reason at any time. They are your betters.”

The protesting players are detrimental to the leagues interests. That Goodelll will use league money to defend his ass and his questionable decision making is the very height of hypocrisy.

The NFL is dead and it’s time to put it out to pasture.

Well if it happens, the the NFL will be tied up in litigation for years.

I am sure that will go over real well for the NFL.

At this rate if the NFL does not stop and do an immediate reversal.... Twenty years from now they will be gone.

The only question is how much longer will the NFL exist as we know it?

My guess would be about 10 or so years.

Jerry can actually show damages. Good luck with the league doing the same thing.

Every week we learn something new about the NFL, and its political, insider, crony-capitalist management and their intrigue

Now it seems the smarmy, regressive Goodell and his clique have more more power than originally estimated.

This is playing out like a power struggle in the Kremlin.

The NFL is digging it’s own grave. It is possible that in 20 years Soccer could be the new game in town for this country.

All the evidence you need to know that progressives now control the NFL. And because of that Goodell is bullet proof.

The one man who strongly and openly supports standing for and honoring the National Anthem is targeted.

Tell me again how America is not going down the tubes.

Ultimate Fighting appears to be the new NFL in terms of popularity.

Trump’s Revenge...the NFL pokes the President and then essentially systematically destroys itself.
