“Liberal, socialist elitists” are running the National Football League (NFL), ten-year NFL veteran Burgess Owens tells CNSNews.com.

Interviewed by CNSNews.com on the Conservative Commados Radio Show, Owens, who won a Super Bowl with the Oakland Raiders in 1980, was asked how he thought Pete Rozelle, the NFL commissioner during his playing days, would have reacted if players had protested the National Anthem at games.

Owens said that players were held to higher standards then, as the league was still in the process of branding itself as an “All-American” product:

That was a time in which the NFL was being built. They were looking at a brand that was patriotic, that was All-American, that was about teaching the American Way.

As a matter of fact, they had a very high standard for players. They expected players to be respectful, to have character, to represent the brand of the NFL. […]

We have now left that age. We now have, at the very top of the NFL, elitists — liberal, socialist, elitists. And they’re paid very well; they couldn’t care less about the impact that they’re having right now, because their ideology is more important than anything else. […]

The answer, he says, is for black conservatives like himself to step up, get involved in their communities, and teach positive values to young people. …

Makes no sense unless they’re gambling that there is no risk.

These players have been shielded from consequences throughout their life. They excelled in a difficult sport, to the point where their physical prowess became multi-million dollar contracts. They have not been told "no" in any meaningful way since their earliest years.

They, further, believe that football and the NFL are "bigger than Jesus", to quote John Lennon.

They do not believe that anyone would dare gainsay what they have to say, outside of very limited criminal activity boundaries. Thus, they do not perceive the risk they attach to themselves in this protest.

Hollywood liberals have also destroyed their industry. Many of the militant Hollywood liberals are Ashkenazi jews who are highly intelligent but bat guano crazy.

Libealism is a mental disease.

The answer, he says, is for Black conservative like himself to step up, get involved in their communities, and teach positive values to young people...

Yes, Burgess Owens is right. BUT the rest of us have to assist with taking power AWAY from white liberal elites destroying the black community with their silliness and snowflake values... allowing power to return to the respectable grown-ups in the black community...

I recall that former Secretary of State Condilizza Rice was asked about her dream job and she said “Commissioner of the NFL.” I think it is time that Goodell be kicked out and Condi hired to replace him.

I wonder how my über-liberal Pats fan sister would react to such a turn of events. Not that she likes Badell, what with how he went after the Pats the past few seasons and all; however, she’s badly infected with TDS.

Thanks for the ping. I think Goodell should be replaced by a patriot.
