they don’t mainly love the job, they love the money they make in the job.

That covers about 95% of all jobs.

So the NFL league office of the Remissioner can still fine players for illegal hits or drugs but won’t fine them for not standing while the anthem is played? Well then perhaps their rights are also infringed on if they can’t perform illegal hits or take drugs to enhance their careers. Roger Badhell is a poor guardian of choose to watch over Pandora’s Box.

What do you expect from 20 somethings with earnings in the million dollar range? They don’t seem to care that they are being used to destroy the very thing which pays them their gigantic earnings,

Perfect. $50 to the first player to use the anthem to post a “Choose Life” sign or banner and watch all the black bigots throw a fit. Raising awareness to social causes....what better than an anti-abortion message?

This is good. This will eventually permeate into the entire professional sports industry, which will then decline, the money will dry up and, here's the best part, colleges will recruit students based on their ability to succeed at something other than sports.

>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?

We don’t even need to boycott it. SJW by their nature are there to destroy institutions. People are naturally repelled by them and the NFL will now die a slow death. Before it’s gone Arena football will be more watched than the NFL.

ah yes, reminds me of the Indiana Jones movie, where that dude said the guy who drank from the wrong grail, “chose poorly”, as he died from having chose the wrong grail to drink from.

LOL, these NFL owners, Goodell, etc. are siding with the liberals and will see their business income erode as a result.

Good riddance, NFL.

Goodell backbone of an over- ripe banana.

I thought about more colorful description of the ripe fruit but opted to restrain myself.

Is that Goddell’s wife; I think I heard his wife had gone on web sites to comment in support of the players and NFL owners? But she was there secretly, didn’t reveal her identity?

If so, then that brings up more questions to me, such as, is his wife liberal? And is the commish making business decisions based on pillow talk from a liberal woman? Even if it is his wife?

Excellent points.

When you are a SJW, all rules are tossed out the window. The end justifies the means.

Very true.

I like my job overall, but there are aspects of it I don’t care for. But I realize, that as a professional, I’m being paid to sit there and do those distasteful tasks.

I’m also a pretty well paid professional, and like the paycheck I get from the job. I appreciate getting a good paycheck to make my life better in other areas, such as the neighborhood I get to live in, etc. provided by that pay.

LOL, what a funny off color joke. I’m sure Bill Clinton could appreciate it, considering his consorting with Monica.

I wonder if Hillary would laugh it up at such a joke......

Let’s not let this go unnoticed during black history month and Martin Luther King day. The black bullies are going to lose this one.

Mall cops for security?

I can’t speak for other places, but I know, when the Chargers were in San Diego, games against the Raiders drew a bad element, and the San Diego police presence was routinely doubled at games vs. the Raiders.

I shudder to think about how it would be, with mall cops, as opposed to actual police, at those games.

His wife is Jane Skinner, and she used to host a news show on Fox News.

The number of season ticket renewals next season will be interesting.

Why bother since viewership is tanking. Pretty soon they’ll just be playing for nothing.
