Have you ever thought what would happen if we were attacked, and facing the defense of our homeland, ie WWII? Do you think the stars would come out like they did in the 40s? Joining the service? Putting their careers including baseball on hold to fight? Hell no!

We have a small percentage of these people, fueled by George Soros, who should be arrested for sedition, pumped up by the MSM and democrats, to make it seem like the whole damn population feels this way. We don’t. The majority supports Trump.

I’D FEEL BETTER IF OUR OWN PARTY WOULD SUPPORT THE MAN, BIGLY.

They should forbid any politicking in the NFL.

I agree. It was literally disgusting watching the Rooney Family don the kneepads to service Obama and turn their team into a bolt-on part of his campaign. All to get Granddad an Ambassadorship.

Yeah - the article is BS.

By “no politics” he means “no Trump”

He’s already allowed the Budweiser ad on immigration (while blocking others the NFL disagrees with) and will
happily look away while GooGoo makes a political statement out of the halftime show because he “didn’t know” she was gonna do that.

Agree... every biz I’ve ever been with required us to not associate with the business when expressing our opinions. If there was any possibility of confusing the issue then we weren’t supposed to discuss the issue.

They have been cuckolded by their relationship with the left. The left is constantly feminizing the game with pink sneakers in October and everyone knows that the left wants to ban football because of head injuries.

No point in supporting an institution intent on hastening their own demise.

Goodell took the golden goose and choked it to death with political correctness. If the owners had walking around sense they would send him packing asap. However, they don’t and the NFL will continue to decline with their leftist hate American crapola.
