What a shame what has happened to the NFL under the leadership of Roger Goodell. The players and not the Commissioner run the league.

NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue was so much better and did not put up with stunts.

If these ungrateful, untalented clowns can’t stand for the National Anthem, they should be kept in the tunnel before the game. Only those who stand should be on the field. Owners have the right to make rules about such blatant acts of disrespect by these attention-seeking whores.

The NFL is done.

They obviously do not like being the football league of our nation.

Let them get real jobs.

The nfl gets none of my money unless it’s stolen through taxes to fund their damned stadiums.

The only team that may be worse than the J-E-T-S, and they can’t even bother to respect the National Anthem.

The whole point is to get the NFL to drop playing the National Anthem, altogether.

And ultimately to change the National Anthem to something more PC.

This is the start.

As someone on the internet said yesterday:

“If I want to watch a bunch of dumb guys struggle to score, I can just go to the local singles’ bar”

Meanwhile Goodell is currently in negotiations to have a 5 year contract extension being commissioner.

If just one strong owner would go to the locker room and remind these clowns that they are paid to not to represent themselves but to represent the team, the city and the country they play for.

Fines for anyone who kneels. Do it more than once, suspension.

Any player who thinks they are untouchable need only look over their shoulder at a younger player who wants their job more.

Little Flash A, who is not any kind of football fan, and not much on geography, as we were discussing places we might visit some day, said to me out of the blue “I want to go to Cleveland”.

I said “Cleveland? Why would you want to go to Cleveland?”

He said “To see the Browns lose.”

I have no idea where he got that from.

The Browns, proving to be worse Americans than they are football players, and that takes some doing!

I am totally finished with not only the Browns, but also the NFL. I want to watch sports instead of millionaire morons in their early twenties trashing every single veteran who died or was injured or who served to keep this country safe.

These spoiled brats who've been catered to all through Jr, Sr, and college, don't deserve a single minute more of my time.

Where is Roller Derby when you need it? NFL . . . Go to Hell!

A protest I’d tune in to see: thousands of fans getting up and leaving the game if/when players pull this cr@p.

Don’t respect the National Anthem; Don’t respect our nation’s flag: get fired. Actions have consequences. They are employees, and are on their employer’s time. The owner should step up and do the right thing: begin the unemployment line and look for real Americans to play on team. Simple as that.

Is it even possible for the Cleveland Browns to have an audience drop? If so, this will do it.

Many of the “professional” athletes are no more than high-paid welfare recipients. Without the welfare payments many would be out on the streets committing crimes. Some even commit crimes while “gainfully” employed as “professional” athletes. Thugs are still thugs even after they get big salaries and impressive uniforms.
