Thank you Roger Goodell and the NFL

I've seen so much hate thrown at Goodell and the NFL that I thought I would give them a personal shout-out of gratitude!

Thank you for giving me back my Sunday afternoons and Monday & Thursday evenings.

Thank you for giving me more time with my family.

Thank you for giving me more clarity on my own beliefs. What you disrespect, I hold sacred.

Thank you for putting more money in my wallet as I finally cancel cable. ESPN was about the only reason I had it anymore.

Thank you for showing your true colors in disrespecting the colors I hold true.

Thank you for showing your true contempt for America before we wasted even more time and treasure on you.

Thank you for showing that your outreach to veterans and our servicemen and women was only a cynical business calculation. We can now devote our efforts to those who truly care about them.

Thank you for giving me an excellent example of what not to do as a business owner.

Thank you for helping to clarify who is on what side.

Speaking of clarity... care to clarify?

Oh bad news there. They showed a clip of a bunch of them showing solidarity with their NFL brethren by holding hands or something at a game on the weekend.

With all due respect to the late Warren Zevon there is only one Hockey Song and it’s by the also late Stompin’ Tom Conners.

In the name of social justice and in support of affirmative action, I am boycotting the NFL till 55% of the players are white, 30% Hispanic, 12% black and 1% native american and 2% asian.

Canadian football.

Where the players stand respectfully for O Canada!

Because no Canadian cop has EVER treated a black person disrespectfully. /sarc

Was just saying - in case some people like to watch FB without the politics.

I’ll never forget the video of the Canadians finishing our anthem when the audio went out at one game...I’ll find it.

Canadian football is carried on ESPN. I’m boycotting ESPN, ABC, and the SEC Network. Love my Gators, but dislike Disney and its properties more!

He by example is leading the anti-American protests, opening the way for others to show their anti-Americanism. Otherwise, it might remain hidden. I like knowing whose on our side and who isn’t.

Thank you for the great post.
The NFL think that the fans will come back. Really? After they know how much the players hate the country?
I haven’t been back since I heard the blowhard Costas go off on a gun control rant. That’s not what I watch ESPN or the NFL for! I said “Bye Bye” and never looked back. That was years and years ago. The NFL keeps showing me how good that decision was.
