“if the protests continue, the NFL will make official rules dictating..”

The horse has already left the barn.

Too late NFL.

“NFL will make official rules dictating where and how the protesters can make their political statements.”

The Constitution beat them to it.
The workplace isn’t required to make provisions for “protests”.

Here’s an idea!

Why don’t the players just stay in the locker room for the whole game?

Who wants to watch a football game when the players themselves have higher priorities?

First Priority: Political activism

Second Priority: Punishing fellow players who do not agree with them

Third Priority: Playing Football

Just wait till next season when those empty seats aren’t paid for.
NFL = Not For Long.

although I haven’t been watching any NFL games, it seems like there has been a black out on network news reports on cover shots of the empty NFL stadiums??

seems like all the in game camera angles are tight shots (like hildabeast used at her campaign rallys) to make it “look” full, but in reality hide the absence of fans/supporters.

All Goodell had to do was enforce the existing NFL rule that all players had to stand for the anthem and suspend any player without pay if they don't do so.

Colin would have either been suspended and then came back and meekly stood for the anthem, or he would have been out of football and doing the crap he's doing now. But the rest of the players would've stood for the anthem.

Fans ave turned away because the NFL has refused to be patriotic. Sorry, boys. Does not matter how you slice it. Unless the kneelers are fired for behavior unbecoming the NFL is doomed.

Doesn’t the NFL already have a rule dictating that they stand respectfully? Maybe they should try enforcing that.

You can't force a man (or woman) to stand hand over heart for the National anthem if they harbor ill will against the nation.

I want them to kneel or stand arm in arm or make that stupid black power fist. I want to know who they are.

Like you said - it's over. The NFL is full of racist ingrate manchilds. The culture is rotten to the core.

The NFL can not survive unless they dismiss all the ingrates and start over with new players who love the country.

There is no other workable solution. Period.

The NFL is total history. We don’t care what they do or who they do it to.They condoned and facilitated blatantly racists anti American Son’s of Bitches and it is too late. They played their card and we are gone.
