Fan's warning to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
VANITY | 23 January 2017 | areukiddingme1

Okay Commissioner, you have decided to go with Lady Gaga as this year's Super Bowl entertainer instead of a Patriotic American...got it, clearly that is your prerogative.

But we the fans that watch football want you to be on notice, that we have tolerated the BS kneeling of Colin Kaepernick during OUR nations National Anthem, we didn't agree with your decision to allow one of your employees to do that, but that was again, your prerogative.

Why did we tolerate this blatant disrespect to our nation and continue to watch NFL football you may ask, well, we are a very large family of veterans, 12 total and we have served a combined total of 312 years of active military service to our nation, we use Kaepernick's disrespect as a "teaching moment" for our young men and women in our family to point out what a coddled whinny petulant child looks like and how someone that has received nothing but God's grace in his life can let himself be used.

Kaepernick is able to excel and achieve having offered NOTHING personally in the defense of freedom under the very protection of the military personnel that he is disrespecting by kneeling...trust me, our future knows how disrespectful his kneeling is and they will carry forward the message of their family.

So, Mr. Goodell, if you allow Lady Gaga to make a political statement during the Super Bowl -- I submit to you that all 107 of our family members have made a commitment to each other to swear off NFL football at the very moment that Lady Gaga makes a political statement or says anything derogatory against our Commander-in-Chief, Donald J. Trump, we will literally shut the TV off at that moment and not finish watching Super Bowl LI -- This, I swear to God.

Mr. Goodell, this is on you...You can either allow your halftime entertainment to drive away 107 NFL fans (SO WHAT, RIGHT, IT'S JUST 107 FANS), or you can ensure that our views are also respected and we are allowed to watch the Super Bowl without being subjected to an "entertainers" opinion, thus ruining our Super Bowl now and forever -- NO POLITICAL STATEMENTS, PERIOD!!!

Everyone gets to make choices -- Choices are not without consequences.

Your job is to oversee the NFL, coaches jobs are to coach, players jobs are to play the game, half time entertainment is to SIMPLY entertain and not make a political statements -- The fans job is to watch the game and root for their team and buy the products that your advertisers pay a lot of money to advertise during the game. When you disrespect the fan you break the trust and we don't have to come back.

Here is to making the Super Bowl Great Again...Cheers!

I haven’t watched the NFL in quite a while. Haven’t missed it. I found out that the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. And I have a happy life. Enjoy your drag queens.

I can’t wait to see Goodell’s face when he has to award the Lombardi Trophy to Belichick and Brady.

We turned it off when Brandon Marshall took a knee before the Denver season opener. Haven’t been back.

What kind of degenerate thinks so highly of Gaga that she would be considered entertainment for a family program? Goodall is the problem, not Colin doofus.

They’ve already told Gaga no politics.
Can’t shut these lunatics up. NFL thinks they are so big that they can do what they want. No so. Half of America is unhappy with the NFL and we will show it,

She did a highly regarded national anthem last year. And really she does normal pretty well, the whacky cloths got her famous but she’s settled into being a solid crooner, Tony Bennett likes her.

If you think that Goodell gives a tinkers damn about what you think, you are barking up the wrong tree. In fact, I doubt if he even seen the letter. One of his punks shit canned as soon as he got his hands on it.

She’s filth, but it’s not surprising that you can’t see it.
