Alejandro Villanueva...Steelers’ Lineman And Afghan War Vet was the only Steeler player who stood for the anthem... Now Has The Highest-Selling Jersey In The NFL!!!!
First they voted for Obama and then all you said....
The reason is the buyers of advertising on the networks.
They are all in downtown big cities and all very lefty.
It is why Bud Light thought that 2 lefty comedians could lecture the football watching crowds.
Pleases? No. I am a Beatles’ fan. The message was sent to the person who issued a Photoshop image of players kneeling before President Trump. Replace the Beatles’ albums with a jersey.
JJ looks like the smacked ass he is in that photo
Stupid jocks.
But now he says he is embarrassed about being the only player standing in the stadium, it was a “mistake” on his part, and regrets not “supporting” his team. Someone got to him...coach, owner, UNION??
For years we tolerated partying, drug abuse, wife beating and the occasional murder. Maybe we should be asking ourselves “what took so long”?
It’s beginning to look like the NFL itself was one of the major Globalist revenue generators. When you factor in the ad revenue to the Globalist MSM. In other words, the revenue the NFL was generating is important to the Globalist cabal. So these owners have no choice. And they have some major scandals that they need the Uniparty and MSM to cover up. My 2 cents.
NFL Denies Dallas Cowboys’ Request to Honor Fallen Police with Helmet Decal
11 Aug 2016
The National Football League has denied a request by the Dallas Cowboys for players to wear a sticker on their helmets to show support for the Dallas Police Department that lost five officers in one terrible attack last month.
The “Arm In Arm” decal was to have been worn when the team opens its preseason schedule during the upcoming bout with the Los Angeles Rams.
But Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told the media that NFL officials said every team “must be uniform” and the stickers were nixed. Jones said the team will “respect their decision” and drop the plans to show support for the Dallas PD.
The idea for the sticker was spearheaded by Cowboys tight end Jason Witten. The team had hoped the decals would help them stand side-by-side with the police after a gunman murdered five officers during an ambush and shootout. On July 7, shooter Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed Dallas police as a Black Lives Matter protest march wound down, killing five and injuring nine others.

NFL gets stuff wrong but got this right. Other ways to honor them without opening this political door. https://twitter.com/sportsdaydfw/status/763742175016394752 …

The owners of the teams own the league as a partnership. Goodell works for them.
All but Jones made a public statement within the past 24 hours. Find them and read them. They are brief. They hold your answer.
These owners are very wealthy and team profitability may not be their top priority.
Earlier in his rant at that rally in Alabama, Trump criticized the NFL for ruining football by turning into a boring spectacle of endless penalty flags for stupid offenses that shouldn't even be penalized.
Think about that for just a moment ... The President of the United States called out the NFL for boring its fans to death. Did you ever think you'd see such a thing?
What you're witnessing here is the NFL's leadership, a bunch of team owners, and all the TV media who have a huge stake in the success of the NFL running around desperately trying to change THAT subject ... by making this all about something they think they can manage in a way that focuses attention on some lame sh!t like "unity."
The silence of Democrats in the political world on this one is absolutely deafening. They know President Trump is right.
There’s a good case that could be made for prosecuting the NFL as an organized crime group.
Was so disgusted yesterday, I finally tuned out. It’s one thing to dismiss a few idiots in the past and a clueless commissioner. Now, it’s fully endorsed at all levels. If the cowboys had stood at attention and acted like men tonight, I would still be a Sunday Ticket subscriber. I just cancelled. I encourage everyone to do it. This is grotesque.
>> a meaningless display which showed neither respect nor disrespect.
It was a display of contempt the prostitutes now fear expressing in the context of the Country’s Anthem.
“what took so long”?
They finally came after the patriotic displays, and people finally stopped acting like it was ok to ignore the rot.
It depends on how they do the "knee". If the whole team does it and they don't do it during the national anthem then they can re-characterize the stunt as a knee in protest of Trump. That's what appears to be happening now.
Coach. Probably said he would be drummed out of NFL. It is time for a new football league. One that produces great teams with great games for our football fans. No stupid parity. College players pick their teams or are free to test the market. This communist parity called the NFL needs to be boycotted into the trash bin of history. Anyone remember the Michigan Panthers ? Time to make football great again !
Here's some of their homes....so I don't want to hear about their issues....nor be lectured by the about anything they 'think' troubles them...nada...nothing!!
He’s too busy turning...
