President Trump is spot on with his assessment.
Roger Goodell is all about destroying the game of football and the NFL.
You know. Kinda like Obama.

BINGO!!! Roger “Neville Chamberlain” Goodell appeased Krapernick and the league quickly lost control of the situation. Talk about selective enforcement. What all these loser players did on Sunday was against league rules. Goodell only comes down hard on teams who want to honor not denigrate LEOs.

I’m sure Goodell thought it was a good idea at the time.

And the Kneelers pick Soldiers Field disrespect the flag. Cultural ignoramuses .

Yep. Kaepernick is “patient zero” for this virus. It should’ve been nipped in the bud on Day One. The person who should have, and could have, done it is responsible.

Let’s see them call Trump racist for singling out Roger Goodell. (I know they will only focus on Kaepernick (sp?) but Trump still gets credit for blaming the white guy.)

Roger Goodell is a piece of trash!
He destroyed the NFL. The dumb@ss owners have not figured that out.
Oh well their loss. They can easily afford it.
To: Enlightened1
They can easily afford it. Unless all their net worth is tied up in that one asset - their NFL team.

Either they were afraid of seeming un-PC by correcting him, or they supported his “cause.”
Either way, they forgot who their fan base was.

Trump is correct. Goodell--knowing that the 2016 Presidential election was a highly contentious--should have squashed the protests (he had the legal right to do so because the NFL is not a government agency) back in August 2016. Instead, he let it fester and now the NFL faces a GIGANTIC PR problem that could make all the miscues the NFL had in the last few years look minor in comparison.

Tomlin and Goodel need to go. Jerry Jones should just retire or sell the team. Even if these people leave and there is genuine contrition, the NFL will never recover its lost honor.

He’s right.
For Godell to not have shut this down the day Kaepernick pulled his stunt the blame is on him. Kaepernick is a half educated angry spoiled guy with an activist America hating girlfriend. Godell gave the legitimacy instead of firing him.
Godell and many others joining in would rather deal with the backlash from the American people whom they take for granted than take a stand for what is right when that backlash will be painful
He has an opportunity to do the right thing here but he won’t take it. But it’s all on him

If Roger Goodell's liberal Republican senator father was still in the Senate, he'd have to be primaried...but he was ousted by James Buckley (and is dead now anyway).
Roger's dad never won an election to the Senate--he was appointed by Nelson Rockefeller to replace Bobby Kennedy.
