The NFL is preparing to end the use of military honor guards to present the American flag ahead of the national anthem, according to reports.

A league source claims that the policy benching military, federal, and police guards is part of its COVID-19 response, according to Front Office Sports.

It appears that there will be no flags on the field and the flag will only appear on electronic scoreboards during the playing of the national anthem, at least for the beginning of the season.

These days after the kneeing NFL I guess that NFL now stands for:

NO FREAKING LOSS

[CIB-173RDABN]

The NFL has given in to the left...I wonder if there are enough finds on the left to keep the NFL alive.

No Fans Left

"The NFL is tone deaf."

The NFL is done and dead.

Fixed it.

[grb]

good, 4 or 5 less people watching the game. They are in for the great awakening (I hope)

[sport]

The enthusacticasm of the fans of the NFL will not abate one whit no matter how many acts of repugnance the NFL commits.

What’s the NFL?

[Bubba_Leroy]

I will probably never watch an NFL game again. I certainly will never pay to go see one.

I am sticking to college and high school football games from now on. They are far more exciting and you do not have to listen to political preaching by any of the overpaid talking heads on ESPN.

One more reason to #BoycottTheNFL

“And Ole Joey will be coming after you as you earn over $400,000.”

Not that hard a number to reach at all. All many people need to do is sell seriously appreciated stock to diversify a portfolio and BINGO! that number’s hit. Even worse, if that starts out as the bogie, it’s guaranteed that the bogie will quickly creep down to $100,000 to raise enough revenue.

NO VETERANS
NO COPS
NO WHITES

DO NOT BOTHER TO APPLY

SHUTUP AND KNEEL

We are the NFL, and we approve this message.

[NormsRevenge]

You can bet BLM flags will be highly prominent.

Lots of room for ‘em in empty stands.. and will remain close to empty during the season ahead.

Way to go, Roger. The owners must be so proud being held hostage.

[GOPJ]

The NFL needs to drop the National Anthem and replace it with a bump and grind rap song...

[GOPJ]

That’s $400,000 PER FAMILY, right?

Of course democrats will lower that to 200,000... Hubby makes $140,000 - wife make $60,000 and democrats hit ‘em with being ‘RICH’...

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Good idea...the NFL players can all stand and salute to Wet Ass Pussy Before the game instead of the national anthem. I’m sure that will fit their mental condition perfectly.

[GOPJ]

I know this much - I don’t want the thugs at the NFL using the National Anthem ... for anything.

People who ‘do’ dog fights don’t start the fights with our National Anthem... and they don’t use our flag as a prop either. It’s time for the NFL to get real.

Corporate boards and CEOs across the nation are slavishly obeying the dictates of the “woke” DNC Politburo. It is indeed amazing. As a bunch of P&L guys, they seem unable to recognize that at the street level they are simply flipping the bird to the larger population, and perhaps in many cases that is their agenda

They delegate a whole lot of responsibility to marketing and PR. Those departments are staffed with Millenial females who are graduates of our finest brainwashing universities, as well as social media addicts. They think Twitter is reality. If five negative tweets go out they run to the boss screaming The Sky is Falling! The boss figures "I pay them to be on top of this" so he nods his head and goes along.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Death to the NFL! Long live football. The league is not the sport. They are begging for competition.

Yeah, well, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson just bought the XFL, and he's as woke as any of them.

Hi.

That loud sound you hear are George Halas, Vince Lombardi and Don Shula spinning in their graves.
