WAY too late? NFL commish Roger Goodell describes what he’d like league to ‘stay out of’
Twitchy ^ | 10-18-2017 | Doug P.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had a press conference today, and said the following:

NBC News ✔@NBCNews

NFL Commissioner Goodell: “What we’re trying to do is stay out of politics. We're not looking to get into politics"

2:20 PM - Oct 18, 2017

(snip)

Katie Pavlich ✔@KatiePavlich

Roger Goodell is a coward. Enforce the NFL anthem policy or not, sitting in the middle by saying people "should" stand is pathetic

It’s almost like Goodell’s playing politics by reacting that way!

It’s the owners’ fault for keeping this weak man in the job of Commissioner. They deserve to lose billions, because the NFL is morally bankrupt anyway.

So the owners, players association, the players themselves, and definitely the commish are collectively saying a big F You to the fans.

They are betting that there are NO OTHER GAMES in town for the nfl’s ex-fans to waste their money and time on.

Time to tear them down, and simply just walk away. That includes all the peripheral pre-game, post-game shows, nfl merchandise, advertisers, etc. etc.

Please watch this video as a black police officer unloads on those disrespectful knee-takers.

He’s not telling them they have to stop. He really can’t. I wonder if people will decide they really don’t need the NFL in their lives, or if they’ll return should the NFL returns to their pre-protest state.

>>> He’s not telling them they have to stop. He really can’t.

The heck he can’t. Why does the league penalize certain conducts then?

There are rules in the book, he and owners (most if not all) of them are pussy leftist themselves, just won’t enforce it.

The term Douchebag has a long list of honorees and Goodell is one of them.

There are a lot of factors that will hurt the NFL. Will advertising be as desirable? How many season ticket holders won't invest next year? What happens when some school systems start dropping HS football? How many moms and dads will say "no" to football? Now there are two major issues...concussions and patriotism. Has the bullying of white players by blacks extended down to college and HS?

That's what this is. It's narcissistic black racist thugs bullying their way to setting the rules and tone in the NFL. The rich-guy owners and Goodell, I'd guess, were mostly sheltered from this throughout their lives. They didn't know how to handle it.

This compromise strategy never works. Racist minorities never give back what they've been given. They sense weakness, and demand more. The problem is that the NFL is way past the "tipping point" that allows for any turning back.

That's my take, anyway.

>>This was SO EASY, that he clearly is too incompetent for his job.<<

And he gets 34.1 million A YEAR!

I don;t begrudge anyone in the private sector their salary, but the NFL is taxpayer-owned and the idea someone this easily manipulated idiot can make 34 times in one year what I took 40 years to build offends my sensibilities.

This idiot will apparently will say anything depending on which way the wind blows.

IF he had courage and great respect for our country, this would not be a topic. This guy is paid how much to run a business?!

That’s like telling a pregnant teen not to get too close to any boys. Perhaps at some point that would have been good advice, but it is WAY too late. The NFL is dead to me.

Anyone who goes back to the NFL after being smacked in the face and spit on by these thugs is a complete a**hole.

The NFL deserves to die.

I’d do that job for a quarter of his salary. Of course, the players won’t like me much, not that I care.

Sure you were trying to stay out of it. Looks to me that y’all jumped at the chance to take a swipe at hard working Americans. We don’t forget and definitely have stopped forgiving you left wing money grubbing USA hating pos. Bye girl

This would have been done and over.

I don't think so

Protests in his support would have started
Too many bleeping players believe it

I’ve said for the past 5 years Gooddell is a leftard. 30 mil a year will make you say stupid things and be a coward.
