NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday wrote a letter to all 32 league owners regarding the protests that have taken place during the national anthem, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
In the letter, which Schefter shared on his Facebook page, Goodell wrote that the “current dispute over the National Anthem is threatening to erode the unifying power of our game, and is now dividing us, and our players, from many fans across the country.”
Last year, former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat down and later took a knee during the playing of the national anthem as protest against racial injustice. More players have joined the protests and President Donald Trump spoke out against the activity in September and has continued to do so.
Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters has sat during the playing of the national anthem at every game this season.

They must have a lot of internal data showing what a major screw up this has become.

Really!!!!!! And you make 44 million/year and you have finally come to that fn conclusion!!!!!!!???? Man the bottom line must be really taking a beating! What happened to ‘the players have a right to protest during the Anthem’? Nfl has committed existential suicide on the throne of blm thug lies. Was good while it lasted......
They must all have concussions. Did they think the $$$$ would continue indefinitely if the players continued to behave like thugs?
It’s not just Goodell who is worried about his job. Anybody with half a brain in the NFL should be worried.
Let’s redirect those fly-overs and ceremonies to an occasional college football game.
Too bad, so sad. RIP NFL
No way. It is insulting to our military folks to have them presenting the colors or flying over the national anthem while the players are blatantly disrespecting it. Trump is on the right track with talk about their tax incentives but he can drive it home even more like this. Once they change their ways, the military is happy to return.
Yep. To paraphrase a favorite saying of the military hating left: Hell no, we won’t go (to their games).
Great picture...it is a dumpster fire!!!
Amen!
I hadn't noticed but I don't doubt it. Actually, there are numerous gestures that, to me, warrant an unsportsmanlike conduct call with its 15-yard penalty. Trash talk is one and happens on half the plays, and almost all incomplete pass plays.
BTTT — Agreed!
Grown men getting dirty rich playing with a ball with other grown men.
American men all aglow over those men’s moves, scores, stats, standings, glitz.
Umm...nah.
These Assholes really think Social Justice November is going to fly?
How Fricking stupid can you be!
And you ain’t the only one-not by a long shot! As far as I’m concerned the entire lot of bums-owners included-can go piss up up a rope!
“...seeing their losses...”
Money talks. Bullsh*t walks.
Mega reply ping.

*Yep. And look at how Sweinstein is being destroyed...now STFU and go away.
Hell no, we won’t go (to their games). Nor will we watch them dis our flag on TV!
Colin, thanks to you as a BLM/NFL idiot, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!
Or the Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!
“...destroyed...now STFU and go away....”
Nope... :^)

And there's your proof. The owners are working hand-in-hand with their Nubians. (((Sheriff Jerruh))) is a complete and totally phony as**ole. Anyone that defends that fraudulent rube (or any of the NFL owners) is an even bigger idiotic cuck than previously thought.
"America's Team". What a f**king joke.
