Surely he is not that stupid?
Oh but he is.
The owners support him and this for their investments? Proves you don’t have to be smart to be rich.
The owners who backed this disgusting no-character commish and rewarded him with a private plane and a pay raise after this poor NFL season are looking more like fools every time he opens his pie hole.
Boycott Super Bowl 51.
I hope the NFL enjoys playing for a audience half the size it used to be and is the half with little disposable income. Advertisers are gonna love that.
The NFL. The Proud. The Cop Haters. The Lonely.
We’ll be watching “Puppy Bowl XIV” this weekend. At least the players in that league are *expected* to act like animals.
Goodell is clearly putting player’s opinions ahead of his fan’s opinions. He must be totally oblivious to the source of his income. Let them all rot.
Not
For
Long
The real whining will start when the pay cuts start
They don’t have a single constructive suggestion, but oh they hate Trump.
Tell me when any of them have skin in the game.
Well bless his heart.
[in a southern context]
What an arse. Keep digging.
Social Justice Warriors: oppose them at every turn.
If they want you to do something you aren’t predisposed to do anyway: do not do it.
If they want you to stop doing something: do it with gusto:
Fly two flags instead of one;
Put up a second statue;
Laugh in their faces, mock and deride them.
In so much asit is possible do not employ a SJW. Do not buy from one. Do not have one as a business partner.
I have a hunch that Goodell was talking about the Community and Charity work that some of the players are involved in. Surely, he wasn’t referring to the kneeling and sit down protests during the National Anthem. He may be a little Naïve, but he isn’t stupid.
The nfl has chosen sides in this Social Civil War that the left has forced upon us. So be it. I will not watch.
It’s not social activism. It is not civil disobedience.
It is anti American activity
Godell and others are not smart. His thinking is clouded by whatever motivates him to defend these thugs.
The kneelers have the right to not be arrested for exercising freedom of speech.
To extend that to some kind of virtue is insane
> Goodell: We Are ‘Proud’ of NFL Players’ Social Activism <
But it has to be the right kind of social activism!
Remember when Steeler’s tackle (and former Army Ranger) Alejandro Villanueva came out of the tunnel alone, and stood for the national anthem?
Villanueva was forced to quickly backpedal his actions there. It was all an accident, he said. Funny how Goodell never issued a statement saying he was proud of Villanueva.
But when they do it in uniform, as representatives of their franchise and the league as a whole, that bothers me. And when the NFL buys them off by donating huge sums to left-wing causes, that bothers me even more. It's almost as if Goodell was looking for an excuse to engage in that kind of activism all along.
Been a big NFL fan for many years. Didn't watch a single playoff game this year, and won't watch the Super Bowl. I'm not going to participate in funding causes in which I don't believe.
I hope you’re proud all the way to the poor house.
I will once again boycott. Eff the NFL.
ALL pro athletes are role models by virtue of their position. if they don’t act like role models, they should be dismissed. winning is less important than real sportsmanship, and class.
until the nfl gets this simple truth, they are not welcome in my house. period.
Goodell can take his Super Bowl and shove it.
