Freepers who believe in property rights should support the right of businesses to ban guns on their premises.
The NFL is doing everything they can to devalue their product. From the wussification of the game to the extraneous “charity” influence, to the ostricization of fans (no purses or bags unless you buy the NFL logo or clear plastic), to the extra TV commercial timeouts, etc.
What’s next? Fans have to be quiet?

While I don’t necessarily agree with the NFL on this, Police seem to always be excluded from the rules that apply to the rest of us sheep. They can speed, take liberties that are denied the regular guy, violate the constitution when it serves their needs.
That said, I do not have a problem with any properly licensed, Law abiding citizen carrying at a game. If they can, why can’t we?
I agree with the NFL. If you are going to ban guns ban them for everybody. A lot of law enforcement is for banning guns as long as they are exempt.
People pay obscene prices to attend game where players are paid obscene salary’s to pay owners and league official obscene salary’s and have no voice in anything.
Can’t wait until the day it becomes touch football and the players wear dresses and the score does not matter and everyone wins. The the price of the cheapest seats are $1000.00 per game, restroom charge $100.00 per visit and a hotdog costs $250.00 without mustard which ill cost and additional $75.00.
Gays welcomed, off duty cops not welcomed.
I agree with the NFL. Private property is private. An off duty or retired LEO is not an exception to property rights.
I can ban anyone or no one at my discretion regarding my private property.
I also prefer that any other LEOs disarm when entering my property, for my safety, since LE types are the worst offenders short of career criminals..... Since I am not frequented by LEOs, I can’t really say my policy is effective though.
I live in MO, and proprietors have the discretion to ban CCWS in their establishments, however, the law also makes otherwise lawful carry only a citation offense ( but who would know?) if a CCW type was asked to leave and would not comply. (RSMO 511)
If the NFL owns the stadium, they can ban the guns on their property. I don’t agree with banning guns on their property, but it’s certainly there right. The police have no standing here.
On another note, you just can’t make this stuff up. The irony is amazing.
Apparently, the NFL believes that the “national” in their name exempts them from state laws. The arrogance of the NFL is a sight to behold. IMO, if the state feels that allowing law enforcement officers to carry while off-duty is good public policy that should trump the NFL’s property rights and its bow to political correctness. Such an exemption is not an unreasonable restriction on their property rights.
