The NFL, for its part, was not all that eager to continue the back-and-forth with Trump. “He’s exercising his freedom to speak,” league spokesman Joe Lockhart said on a conference call with reporters, “and I’m exercising my freedom not to react.”

hope Trump keeps trolling them..he could destroy this league in 2 weeks....they cant help themselves.
Trump really doesn’t matter anymore here, this thing has taken on a life of its’ own.
Trumps got them in a trick bag..they are boxed in..either they stop and surrender to Trump, which will kill them, or they continue and dig their graves deeper...AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
damn right....notice Goodell hasnt been seen any where...the freak out is on...
Lockhart is working for a community organizer who’s renting the house he owns in D.C.
The Goal has always been to grow the game
Blackmail Cities into building Stadiums at Taxpayer expense ( Goodell used the Super Bowl as leverage ) Now no owner would dare go to the Pubic and ask for a Stadiums.
Players and owners split Revenues as part of the Salary Cap
Before the Fight over kneeling it was going to cost 200 Million to the teams in ad refunds or 7 Million per team.
One day the players and owners will realize the golden egg is over Forever
Big deal but they had better listen to us.
Anyone want to give the over/under on how much money Goodel and the NFL has spent on “consultants” over the past ten days?
Fear is setting in at NFL offices.
But there’s no way out.
I predict pain.
And possibly fistfights in the stands if “fans” try locking arms during the anthem as requested by a couple of teams. Packers for one.
My folks are livid (all military) - they fought under our Flag and had friends die and be buried under it and these miserable cretins just trashed it and the memory of Americans who died while serving and we who now live under it. How many veterans who've lost legs would give anything to be able to stand when the Anthem is played and the flag displayed. I can state here and now that the NFL and the teams are truly despicable.
And don't get me started on how I feel.
Thanks for the link. Good stuff on here.
If the NFL was smart, they would apologize for protesting during the national anthem and claim that they didn’t mean disrespect to the country regardless of the fact that the guy who started it all, says he definitely meant to disrespect the country.
The longer they delay, the more fans they will lose permanently.
One can only hope. It would be fun to see. Then we’d go watch a college game.
Lockhart is face of NFL! Great! Let them all burn.
Oy. It’s terrifying to imagine how H! would be handling this
I’m afraid all of this is coming to College Football as well.
My first thought.
Once the NFL figures out this kneeling stuff is killing the sport, college players will be warned that kneelers won’t be drafted.
