The NFL denied the Dallas Cowboys request to wear a decal on their helmets during the season that would have paid tribute to the five police officers killed last month in an ambush.

Wonder what would happen if a player wanted to make an anti-abortion statement on the field? Do you think for a minute Roger Goodell would back him? Would the NFL Players Association defend his right?
Today it’s neen reported that the Dallas Cowboys owner said any player who doesn’t stand for the flag is fired, get off his team.
Yeah, that would have been too controversial.
Might have alienated the NFL's large fan base among the pro-cop-shooting community.
NFL again. Scared of blacks.
I started watching the raiders/redskins game when I saw the bro’s link arms and take a knee during the anthem.
I thought they were done with this crap.
As much as I love the NFL game, I am done with it. No watch, no follow, no nothing. It is like cricket or soccer — no exist.
Maybe I am the critical mass.
Another slap in the face from the NFL.
To Hell with THE NFL
Do you have a link? that is great news
I remember when the NFL made RGIII turn his shirt inside out during a press conference.
They’re hypocrites and are running scared from the majority “protected class” that plays for them.
That cinches it. The NFL IS NOT operating it’s “free speech” agreements without bias. This incident back in August with the Colts, against what they are allowing players and owners to do now shows the mass hypocrisy of the NFL.
Who says they need “permission”? Do it anyway. What can the NFL do?
NFL can go to hell, and will never get my family ever watching it, or paying for any of their crap.
Im getting close to being ready to sign off on dropping the NFL on North Korea.

This rule applies to the antics of today as well.
Rule 5, Section 4:
ARTICLE 8. PERSONAL MESSAGES. Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience...........

I hope the NFL goes down in flames for trying to place themselves and their hoodlums above the flag of the United States.
Disagree. They’re scared of the (left) media. Hence like many others, they’ve chosen to adhere to political correctness, which means cowering to the desires of the left.
Guess they must have missed the results of the last Presidential election.
Where can I get that decal?
Off topic for today’s demonstrations, but, don’t those rules also prohibit how the league endorses Susan G. Komen with pink showing on uniforms and other objects???
