The Dallas Cowboys attempted to speak political and social issues. The players wanted to wear an “WE SUPPORT THE DALLAS POLICE” emblem on their helmets in memory of the 5 assassinated officers. The NFL tossed aside their request to do so. Seems the NFL makes the decisions...that would be those same decisions which benefit the wealthy team owners and other persons who gather at the trough of greenbacks. The players, apparently have no say until the NFL gives them that liberty. Speaking truth to power is just a one way street on occasion.

As much as I love the Police and what they are doing for us, I do not believe that a Sports team or a sports show is the place for politics...

I know some of you believe this isn’t politics but when you take away everything, it is...

If you start with a ‘The Blue Star’ on a sports team, what’s next? A Hillary Stool emblem on the Washington Red Skins helmet? See my point...we can do more for the Men in Blue and others like the Fire Departments other than on a Sports team or channel...

GO. DENVER BRONCOS; PITTSBURG STEELERS; GREEN BAY PACKERS!!!
