National Football League (NFL) owners, executives, players and union leaders announced Tuesday that they’re making plans to “utilize our platform” to effectuate “social change.”
The NFL and NFL Players Association released a joint statement after a meeting Monday that discussed, among other things, players’ National Anthem protests at games. The statement declares their joint plans to use the NFL’s platform to change society and “address inequalities in our communities.” […]

he is showing signs of being somewhat delusional, IMO.
They got your money.
Now they can piss in your face. :)
Won’t last. Bite the hand that feeds you and the other hand comes back with the euthanizing needle.
Didn’t Michael Jackson have a song that said change begins with the man in the mirror???
So the NFL is going full on POLITICAL now?
Will buying a ticket get you a tax deduction for political contribution?
Will we get mailers asking us to give to NFL-PAC?
Will Roger Goodell run for president?
NO THANKS!! The NFL is dead to me.
Oh for God’s sake! Now this dumb jocks are going to become ‘’socail justice warriors’’. Ok a-holes, open up those fat check books of yours and start writing ‘em. I’ll line up. I ain’t greedy. 5 mil will do me and the wife just fine.
Yes. Damage is WAY past done.
Just ask Target.
HUGE NFL fan for 40 years. Now. Not so much.
It’s hard to look away. Like a car crash.
Except one drawn out over several years.
Why not just be full-time Social Justice Warriors?
You know there will be enough squishies in the Senate to pass this.
Hoodoo.
Keep digging...
Like Wiley E. Coyote, they pursue a fake “cause.”
And the real irony is — if they just stuck to playing good football, that activity alone naturally contributes to social cohesion. Going down this path only rubs salt in healed wounds and insults our citizens and police officers as presumed bigots. They destroyed a fun, NATIONAL pastime to further the ideological vision of a single player’s nutty Stalinist girlfriend and a few fringe communist groups in the US with nothing better to do. When you’re in a hole, stop digging!! Nice going, NFL...
The NFL was formed to keep coal miners off the streets.
>>Just play football.<<
W_R_O_N_G!!!!! We don’t want to have them play football.
Why don’t you shove your ‘social change’ up you rear end.
To HELL with the NFL!!!
Great. Criminals and wife beaters are going to change the world.
