You can bet an Army Ranger doesn’t like these jerks spitting on the flag he served under.
“Jerry Jones has probably already decided that Villanueva would look great in a Dallas Cowboys uniform.”
Bump that.
Doubt if most could stand an average deployment to a semi quiet theater of operations.
I haven't been too harsh with Roger Goodell over this since the whole CK thing started. I know enough about the NFL and its NFL-NFLPA collective bargaining agreement to know that the league's commissioner has very little authority to deal with something like this.
I reserve my harshest judgment for those TEAMS that didn't just deal with it head-on when it first came up (I think the 49ers actually DID deal with it), but encouraged the players to act out these silly temper tantrums on the sidelines.
“Like I said, I was looking for 100 percent participation, we were gonna be respectful of our football team.”
Makes absolutely ZERO sense. What the hell does Tomlin even mean?
I bet He beat some A$$ going out the door!
The Justice Department cannot do that. It is a private business. A sports business, a sports league.
Tomlin has coached two Super Bowls. (2008 and 2010).
Obozo lover too, shocker
So I guess even their revenue stream is commie inspired.
How long before he is cut from the team.
THANKS!
What they didn't see is that ESPN, SJW, etc. would latch onto this and start running with it. Goodell knows it's a Charlie Foxtrot but now the wolves are roaming freely. Now he's going to double down and thinks having an “Activism Month” will allow the NFL to get control of the situation. Pfft. This combined with sympathetic players who believes America keeps them down and a fan base who are generally the exact opposite might be a real financial explosion waiting to happen, if the right/wrong person actually ignites it.
Couldn't happen to nicer bunch of guys.
That’s what’s so infuriating about this “protest” & the left in general.
They’re the worst hypocrites.
The NFL chose to ignore their own rulebook.
The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the NFL League Rulebook. It states:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition...
...It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
Bookmark.
Hate steelers, but I’d buy his jersey. They don’t have my size.
I like your photo. I am drawn to the two smallest guys in this picture. I imagine they are tougher than nails. One looks like Tim in “Justified.” He’d shoot you dead in a “New York minute.”
