I hope he owns the league in five years.
Ok we’ll stop watching. Enough people do this and....
Imagine a world where speaking truth has a cost.....
Its Washington DC after all, woke capital of the world.
Wrongthink must be punished.
Del Rio needs to get away from these lunatics.
But supporting BLM riots is ok.
I’m curious. Is there a labor law legal basis for fining players and coaches in NFL? If you’re working on a loading dock and you drive the forklift into something expensive, you can’t get fined for damaging company property. You can get sent home unpaid, you can get fired, maybe even prosecuted, but fined? No go.
But players get fined all the time for bad hits, coaches get fined for saying hurtful things about the refs, and all of it is just hunky dory. I think some fines have even been contested, maybe even gone to court, but the whole act of fining players, staffers, and coaches is still there.
Maybe it’s because the NFL is a monopoly and the expectation is that anyone who is drawing pay to play a game should act thankful for the opportunity, maybe not enough players have worked real jobs, or know that if they did, they would never make seven figures doing it with their skillset if it weren’t for pro sports.
If Del Rio decided to make a stink about it and just say “you know what, pay me or fire me, but I never agreed to be fined for saying what’s on my mind about something that doesn’t touch football. My lawyers will be in touch.”, it couldn’t happen to a better team.
When gasoline hits 8 bucks it all stops.
Talking to you NFL. Hope you didn’t mortgage anything.
And there's your mistake. Never apologize, never complain and never explain. We need to revive the ancient tradition that a man walk like a man.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
One other thing. What do you mean by "riots? How many riots were there? I'm assuming that in each riot cars were burned, people killed, stores looted, etc.
And if there was a coup, where was the airplane waiting at the tarmac to carry the old president into exile so the new one could take over? If an insurrection, then the insurgents would have been armed to the teeth and have military backup. To call the little parade choreographed by the Democrats a riot or anything else is a bastardization of the English language.
Calling this silliness a dust-up is being generous.
“When lies prevail, truth becomes the enemy.”
“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984
“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.” – Ayn Rand
“There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.” -Thomas Jefferson
Another example of canceling.
Washington Commanders? What’s that?
I only remember the Redskins...did DC get a Woman’s football team or an indoor league team?
Help me out here...
Kaepernick brought his opinions to work by protesting and expressing his opinion on the field about something that had nothing to do with work that most in the stadium disagreed with. He was lionized. This guy expresses his opinion on his own time on twitter about something that has nothing to do with football and he is fined by his employer who disagrees with his opinion.
He should sue them if he does not need the job.
Ed Reed is a bigot.
I stopped watching the nfl many, many years ago and will never return.
ed reed should be fined for his stupidity
People are willing to believe the truth for its own sake. Lies have to be enforced.
Big mistake.
The left sees an apology for what Gibbs always said it was, a sign of weakness.
You can never grovel enough to satisfy the howling mob.
Del Rio apologized for telling the truth that hurt the feelings of the woke left.
