Goodell is a huge problem, but compare the progressivism of the NFL to when Joe Lockhart came on board - he has assisted with the suicide and the message.
The Left doesn't like football and the "deplorables" who support it, so they are methodically destroying the game right in front of everybody's eyes.
As soon as I heard that Joe Lockhart had been hired by the NFL for PR or something like that, I knew the Left had their tentacles inside the body and would gut it dry.
It's the ole' drip, drip, drip routine. First, it's one drip, Colin K., the more and more drips, until there a bunch of drips (a.k.a players) involved in protesting during the national anthem.
Now Goodall and the league are saying this is the new normal.
If this is the new normal, then eventually their cash cow will dry up and she won't milk anymore.
The Left will destroy NFL football one drip at a time and then they will go after college football. And high school.
The Left doesn't like the traditional pastimes of the Right. If they don't like it, then no one can. Typical Left.
