This is the best solution at this point. The NFL created a situation with no winning outcomes. I don't understand why there weren't rules about player behavior when "on the clock" they agree to when they sign their contracts.

Now it's clear for everyone to see that these NFL black "victims" are so out of control that they assume the right to tell us, the fans, what the flag is supposed to mean. It's deranged that pandering NFL execs and media/entertainment/political enablers let them dismantle our history, culture, and traditions.

Yeah, but NASCAR is PC, too. A Southern-bred sport essentially has banned the Confederate battle flag.

To be honest, if this had happened in the beginning, this issue would have faded away.

IMHO Tomlin is a affirmative action coach. The Rooney's were and are Obama a$$ kissers. After Obamacare was passed the Rooney's opened up Heinz Field to sign up folks to the great Obamacare. I think about 5 people showed up.

Stupid Pittsburg fans act like the Steelers are all about Pittsburgh when really the Stealers are just a bunch of people from around the country vs another bunch of people from around the country. There is nothing really Pittsburgh about any of those players and Sam goes for the rest of the NFL. Does NFL stand for “Now & Forever Liberals” ?

Easy to tune out and turn them off.

Easier for me since I got sick of these over paid prima donnas a LONG time ago.

If most of them couldn’t carry a foot ball they would be digging ditches or trying to be on welfare.

Tune out, turn off it won’t take long for the money to stop flowing. Don’t want this gang back ever though at any price. There are plenty of others.

Watch what happens in basketball this season. They are losers as well.

It's our only way to stop this destruction of our nation from within at this point. Inform all NFL advertisers that you're not buying products advertised on NFL games and DO IT.

Also, don't watch a game on cable or satellite TV. On the antenna or in a venue where it's already on doesn't add to viewer numbers, so that's okay.

Those soldiers you mention are the real heroes. These ungrateful thugs play a game for their very lucrative career offered in a nation that hosts such a wonderful opportunity for them. I have no respect for these utter morons who publicly disrespect the nation of such wonderful benefits. Try making the same opportunity over in Nigeria or Kenya. Goodbye NFL.

I’m telling you right now that the fans should occupy the field and shut down the game. That’s the fastest way to put an end to this crap.

These kinds of actions are only hastening their own demise.

Libs already have football, in general, in their cross-hairs.

They root for laundry. They could care less who wears that laundry as long as they beat the folks wearing different laundry.

“Other than Philly, it won’t go down well in the rest of PA.”

Other than Philly? Blacks in Philly might love it. Some liberals too. Bu they are NOT the ones who are real fans of the NFL in Philadelphia.

If they’re there, they sure as heck don’t vote.

President Trump said to foire the POS players who kneel.

Millionaires not hankful for their privilege, biting the hand that feeds them.

The Public is turning off their TVs, and the sponsors are leaving.

Keeping them in the locker room? Cancel the game and fire the little liberal fascists who want to disrespect America.

Make America GREAT again.

This is not the right decision. I’m disappointed.
