Cave-in to America-hating highly-privileged members of a government-certified victim group.
...and with that Mr. Goodall has ended what was the most popular sport in this country, as cost the owners BILLIONS of dollars in wealth.
There will be case studies in Business School text books about what just happened and the need to ALWAYS stay in touch with your customers, and the need to understand just who your customers are.
Nice spine, you got there Goodell. What is it, vermicelli?
These NFL players need to go live in Cuba or Venezuela for a week to see what REAL oppression looks like. Only in America can buffoons get paid 120 mil for 3 years to throw a football around..but hey they are oppressed don’t ya know..if slaves were around today they would be LAUGHING at these clowns
One thing I just found out. I am completely free to do whatever all day Sunday as well as on my own Monday and Thursday nights.
I WILL miss, though, camera shots of the very pretty cheerleaders.
It was great for a long time but———
Activists from every corner of the BLM movement, and other "civil rights" constituencies, will descend on the NFL like locusts, using the players as their stooges.
The protests will become more extreme and more repellant to the audience, until the NFL ceases to exist. That phase of the process, in the words of Gil Scott Heron, "will not be televised."
So it’s up to us. No problem, I don’t care if the NFL takes a knee or jumps off a bridge. I am doing other things these days. Funny, I actually don’t miss watching mostly black guys run into each other over and over.
Unbelievable. Insulting in the extreme. NFL GTH!! We will not give NFL one red cent !
They won't be worth anything in a short while.
NFL: Negros, Felons, and Liberals. Whites or Americans not wanted.
Ha Ha... beat you.
Hell, why not the NFL?
The SJWs have even taken over and destroyed West Point.
It’s their game but the next play is ours.
Will true Americans have the guts to boycott the NFL? Or will this be like most boycotts, where everyone gives in because they can’t do without?
Now that you showed them who ISN’T the boss prepare for the consequences.
The NFL had no choice here. The players have all the leverage because every lawyer who has looked at the situation has advised the NFL that it can’t take any disciplinary action over this without renegotiating the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with the players union. Individual owners can actually as they see fit but they will have to honor a player’s contract even if the player is fired.
Given Goodell’s track record, this should not come as a surprise.
Owners are gonna be really ticked in a couple of years when their franchises are worth next to nothing.
