Roger Goodell is a coward, sure, but we’ve entered crazy territory. The election of President Trump has rattled the minds of many in the country.

So badly that the NFL won’t talk about it. Instead we’ll learn that coach Belichick enjoys “Maryland crabs with Old Bay seasoning.” That is what was talked about at “Super Bowl Opening Night” according to the NFL. That, and apparently not much else.

They should forbid any politicking in the NFL. It’s a business and a brand. It’s not a forum for free speech. I don’t understand why they allow that. You can’t wear a piece of equipment with a logo on it, so why would you be allowed to take a knee during the Anthem.

Sure it’s free country, but freedom has consequences. You express your beliefs, then fine, you’re out of here. there are rules.

This is the gutless wonder Roger Goodell. I doubt that I’ll be watching ten minutes of the game. Couldn’t care less.

Oh, and you know good and well that Lady Gaga will bash Trump whenever she can.

I thought for sure he would have preferred roast falcon as the main course.

Well hopefully by 2021-2022, they will have seen the light.

That’s about the earliest my team, The Jets, will possibly have a team worth putting on the field.

All businesses that are entering the fray are doing so at the urging of libs. We never demand anything of these people besides behaving like a human and delivering the product expected. You would think a CEO could figure that out.

Colin Kaeperpunk tanked their ratings, and Goodell KNOWS it. He can’t criticize the black dude, but he damn sure it going to try and head of any further damage.

Was never a Patriots fan but I am now. The Leftist sports Media have vilified Brady and Belichick for being friendsSome Falcons players have said they won’t go to the White House if they win. I hope the Patriots leave the Falcons looking like a plucked chicken Sunday night.

Not to worry—some lame-brained lefty football player or staffer will be unable to resist the temptation to display their virtue and denounce Trump.

Tick, tick, tick...

The NFL has been all politics, all the time this season. It’s not that they don’t want to do politicis, it is that they don’t want dissenting voices of patriots to be heard.

It’s Black Lies Matter, 24-7. And they can have the Superbowl without me.

Somehow, some way, liberals have managed to screw up the NFL - and it didn’t take very long.

The NFL, like many large concerns, forgot that their job is to sell folks a product at a price they are willing to pay. Placing semi-literate buttholes pushing political agendas to a largely patriotic audience worketh not.

Shove it, Godell, and shove it, NFL.

Always remember the NFL motto: Our felons are better jocks than your felons.

Courage is bad in the entertainment business. Be a coward, put on a great football game, leave politics to the rest of the world.

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.

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.
