NFL commissioner Roger Goodell fired back at President Trump on Saturday for encouraging league owners to remove players who take a knee during the national anthem, saying Trump’s “divisive comments” show “an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL.”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needs to take a personal time out and reflect on what he represents and should be doing. Encouraging activism in sports is contrary to people who watch sports to get away from political noise.

Did Goodell plant the seeds of activism by requiring players to wear pink for a month? Where is the month to support prostate cancer? The players are more at risk for prostate cancer than for breast cancer. This could go on and on. So drop it all. It looks ridiculous!

Political activism is destroying sports. Goodell should get out of the business if he does not understand that.

I am still looking for a basketball without that NBA graffiti on it.
