I've heard of a former college coach who used to lecture his players about school, etc, telling them that NFL means "Not For Long" or "No Fun League".
Zeek: Class act. Know people who know him. Ditto Prescott.
People who run the NFL: not so much.
"I will pay their little fine."
Just another reason to stop supporting the NFL. As far as I am concerned they are dead.
Free speech= urging people to kill police
Not free speech= supporting the Salvation Army
So kneeling during the anthem to protest against America a-ok.
Donating to the salvation army? Evil.
Gotcha. Still not watching the NFL.
NFL is stupid and ridiculous. They assess a fine for something completely harmless, then let twisted freaks like Michael Vick come back after prison. I will never have any use for it after that.
Doing something decent draws an NFL fine. Insulting our flag, our anthem, our military, our country, and our ancestors - along with half the (former) viewers of the NFL? Nothing.
The NFL just can’t seem to stop tripping all over their own d*ck’s these days. With the huge loss in advertising dollars and fans over the past two years and with the recent announcement of the restart back up of the XFL due the NFL’s stand on kneeling for the National Anthem and pissing off millions of NFL fans one would think that the NFL would stop shooting itself in the feet and head. I for one am still boycotting the NFL in its entirety and looking forward to some XFL football minus any thuggish NFL players.
Simple solution; take the Red Kettle OFF the playing field and put it outside the stadium by the entrance/exit doors so ANY & ALL can drop their contributions to the Salvation Army...
Hate to be a Scrooge, but he was fined because he used a prop in his end zone celebration. Now, if he had directed that person whom he staged to give him the cash out of his wallet to put the money in the kettle himself, he would have achieved the same thing; self-aggrandizement and promoting charity. Aren’t we the ones that are always saying rules man things? Either way, the NFL owed him one, so now he gets to look like the poor old downtrodden player doing the right thing and the NFL gets to be Ebenezer Scrooge.
How did he not expect a fine? He did similar last year and got fined. Even though the celebration rules are loosened there is still no props other than the ball allowed. The kettle is a prop.
What about Free Speech???!!!!
