New York, NY — The ever-woke NFL has released a statement following the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin, the officer that is now convicted of murdering George Floyd. The NFL has continued its woke pandering for several years, but this statement is as ridiculous as Nancy Pelosi celebrating Floyd “sacrificing his life.”
In their statement, the NFL said the verdict does not take away the pain of the loss of life and to that, I can agree. The continuation of their statement talking about hope and moving society toward a more equal and just tomorrow is what is ridiculous.
The NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had previously sent a memo to all teams outlining the league’s commitment to “social justice.” He highlighted several measures the league had taken to appear woke enough for the radicals so that they would not call for boycotts and accuse the league of racism of their own. He said, “Our commitment to the pillars of our social justice efforts are unwavering and our work continues together – with our partners, the clubs and players throughout the NFL.”
Everyone seems to forget that George Floyd was a known criminal. He had been accused of passing a counterfeit bill and the officers attempting to arrest him were caught in a struggle. Floyd was not a martyr, not a person fighting for justice, and should not be celebrated for what he has done.
These woke radicals want to ignore the fact that death and destruction occurred last summer amid the riots following Floyd’s death. Even President Joe Biden ignored that in his comments on the issues.
President Biden said that Floyd’s death was an example of systemic racism. There are many contributing factors to the death of George Floyd. Do I think the hold from the officer contributed? It most likely did. Do I also think the drugs in Floyd’s system contributed? Absolutely, they did. Does that mean I believe the officer should not face charges? Not in the least.
But that’s not what we are talking about here. This is about a woke sports organization that is committed to promoting a radical political agenda. A sports organization that should be focused on delivering a product that Americans can enjoy free from propaganda and manipulation. Instead, the organization has chosen to play the political games of the radicals.
While it is tragic that Floyd died, the sentencing and subsequent labeling of all police officers as systemic racists is not a vision of hope. It is a vision of moral decline and a society that is quickly spiraling down a path towards utter chaos. That’s exactly what the Marxists want. They want utter chaos so that the government can step in with full control over the people.
For me, I am done with the woke sports organizations. At a time when Americans need something that is free from the propaganda, they continue to bow down to the radical agenda and the Marxists that threaten them. It is time we focus on the real issues in our country.
Liberalism is a mental disease...

We are up against a psychotic element. They see us as an obstruction in the path toward their perfect socialist utopia. We need to face up to that reality and recognize that its time to put them away in straight jackets. There is no co-existing with people who want to run over you.
NFL is bowing to the god of money. If they want a just and equal society...they should pay equal pay to all players. No meritocracy.. Teams reflect population demographic, size, and skill levels. I for one would get a kick watching teams with short small guys and gals on the teams. It would be fun to see what 3 small players could do to a 6’9” 375 pounder if the situation arose.
The only way to put nfl out of its misery...is to stop watching...plant a garden...read or write a book..exercise..
The NFL is dead. Long live the sport of football.
I think that won’t work so well! LOL

Pro golfers are no better off than their last round. They are not on salary and earn their winnings or not from each tournament.
So far, I haven't seen a golfer take a knee. Golf is a gentlemanly game. No street punks or grandstanding.
Oh, and I don't golf. Never have.
“Eff MLB and the NFL.
Make that my wife and I
COVID has been good for golf.
My SIL manages a private course and they had their most rounds played ever last year.
That’s it. They all want to be in the Woke Club.
