Unbelievable. They are going even harder in the wrong direction.
Im promoting channel change. When theyre on, the remote goes off
Just play football. Stop the insane, shallow, public relations posturing.
The Left always doubles down and doesn’t care who pays. Let the fools pay.
Here's a free clue, Goodell: It's your CUSTOMERS who pay all of you, not the players. If your players aren't happy with rules, there are plenty more who would happily take their places.
You've lost this customer for good, FWIW.
Interesting that they don’t have any fans, or should I say one or two FORMER FANS.
Heck, they can pick the first two names they see here at FR and finally get the REAL TRUTH as to what’s going on, and how they can at least try to fix it.
...but no, they’re now tripling-down.
Double down on stupid
Millions of former viewers have already implemented their own plans -- to never watch the NFL again. This announcement by the NFL brass just serves to reinforce their decision.
can't wait for their to be some fairness...
Everything they want is based on false data and lies, just like BLM, Kwanza, etc.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.

But not the season ticket.
I got my pockets sitting open in anticipation.
Can't wait to not watch!
Then they will go bankrupt. Good riddance.
Welp. I guess they haven’t learned their lesson yet if this is what comes out of the meeting. You just gave in more to their SJW demands and in return got what? Did they guarantee they will stand for the anthem? Of course not...
Starbucks tried this same thing during the Occupy Years.
“Hi. Let’s have a discussion about Racism while you wait for your coffee!’
The ‘woke’ policies got laughed at mostly, then ignored by many of their own staff.
This failed, but on a much smaller $ scale than the NFL.
Perhaps Goodell thinks he’s the “Commissar” of the NFL.....
