And another million fans gone!
Goodell is afraid of the players. They have him cowed.
He’s taken their side and there is no going back. He’s going to Philadelphia with 4 of the radicals to “investigate police problems”.
The only answer is to turn that TV to other channels when NFL games are on.
I am sick of the thugs. I won’t ever go back to watching like I once did. It’s just not very entertaining anymore. I don’t want to financially support them in any way.
Look at it this way... Those of us who figured that the NFL office was formulating some kind of a plan to eliminate or control the pre-game theatrics now knows that it ain’t gonna happen as long as Goodell is there. Roger Goodell has made his bed, so if the owners collectively decide to do something — Roger-the-Hugger is GONE!
What does he think the NFL is? The US Marines?
The NFL is an entertainment business. The country needs law and order provided by the good cops that go to work every day to keep the peace and to protect businesses and citizens from criminals. We don’t need overpaid entertainers to promote resistance to law and order.
I am a 18 year Tennessee Titans PSL Holder (4 of PSL’s). I am officially done with the NFL after reading his response.
We have to put together a list of NFL advertisers and blast out our messages to them that we are through with the NFL and that if they are not through with the NFL, that we are through with them and their products.
Look when you sign up with a professional team it is your duty to honor your national flag and national anthem when it is displayed and played prior to game commencement..period.
Now if you have problems with your country as an individual, you have every right to show and state your personal feeling. In other words when you are a team member, you join the team in honoring the flag and nation.
When you attend a game that your kids are playing in and, you want to disown your country and flag...that is fine...you are speaking as you, not the team. End of story!!!
I might remind the African-Americans that history shows that African-Americans, slaves or freemen have fought and died for the American nation in every single war this nation has ever fought. They are a 100% part of the historical and present/future culture of these United States of America.
I might also remind them that they supported a POTUS (Obama) that did very little in eight years of office to better the conditions in which many Africans-Americans have to survive in every day they breath air. So much for America’s first Black President, the son of Kenyan Muslim Slave & Sex Traffic Traders in Eastern, Sub Sahara Africa...that still exist, today, and ply their evil, “SLAVE” trades every day that comes and goes.
As for Roger Goddell and his ilk...they have embarked on the same path as the current Democrat Party....destroying themselves internally. The NFL is dying...shucks...I wonder why?
The NFL has lost track of the fact that they are in the entertainment business.
An NFL game is like live theater and the players are the cast.
And just like other entertainers, when their heads get too big and they turn on the fans, the fans will abandon them.
Remember the Dixie Chicks?
The government might have the power to force us to buy Obamacare.
But it does not yet have the power to force us to buy NFL tickets or watch their games on TV.
These NFL BLM protester types could give themselves a PR boost if they compared Hillary crimes and the lack of justice to innocent black children being murdered by cops.
Screw him and his non answer!
It's a pathetic response, sort of like Fidel Castro responding to charges of humanitarian violations by pointing out that his government sent money to an earthquake relief fund.
Talk about lack of proportion! He’s complaining about disrespecting the frigging NFL when they ate disrespecting the United States of America.
America made the NFL, not the other way around.
‘The NFL and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country’
Whenever they say “unity” they mean “shut up and agree with me”.
I am worried about the NFL. It is a key component the the “bread and circuses” policy to placate the general unwashed populace.
RG just nailed the final spike in the NFL’s coffin. No balls means no football watchin’ for American patriots!
> Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL... <
And what pray tell about it deserves respect?
The spousal beatings or wholesale alienation of the fan base by spoiled millionaires?
Goodell said he respects the players’ right to make social or political statements during the anthem.
And the Presidents right? You’ve been out Trumped Goddell.
Sense of unity? Bull feathers. I’m glad my Dad isn’t here to see this sh## going on.
Hint: boycott the NFL!
