Can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

The magic of the NFL is gone.

Y.A. Tittle quit football after kneeling in the end zone and sold insurance. He hung Berman’s photograph in his office with the caption, “Nothing Comes Easy.”

I feel sad for the snowflakes, they have no men like this to look up to; DiMaggio, Tittle, Neil Armstrong... we had real heroes.

Goodell would suspend players over rules that didn’t even exist.

His unpredictability and liberal politics wrecked the league.

Goodell gets a bit of a bad rap on this. The NFL has no authority to discipline players over this crap. It's the individual owners who are the real culprits here, and even they don't have a lot of options to deal with this other than benching the malcontents on their rosters.

We might be reaching the point where an interesting dynamic will unfold. I'm sure many teams refused to bench talented players because they don't want to pay the price by losing on the field, but the NFL is getting to a point in the season where teams are dropping out of contention. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few teams start dropping some of their protesting players -- even star players -- to the inactive roster on game days.

Insane commie libs are very well-known to ALWAYS “kill the goose that lays the golden eggs”. They poison everything they touch. The NFL is just about a classic example as anyone would ever want to see.
Education, finance, religion, etc.....You name it, they’ve killed it.
The POSs belong in an insane asylum. They’re useless as teats on a boar hog.

I watched one game yesterday. First one all season. I wanted to see Adrian Peterson's debut.

I felt dirty. Like I had cheated on my country. Won't do that again.

Liberals conflate various issues here.

1. Liberals state that we have 1st amendment rights, freedom of speech, etc. and that the players are exercising their freedom of speech. Liberals do not state that the players are there “on company time” when at the game. Liberals make it sound as if none of us can say anything because of the 1st amendment. Liberals don’t seem to grasp that we customers/consumers/general public, also have freedom of speech to be critical of the players.

2. Liberals state that Trump has somehow initiated this situation. Kapernick was the first player, followed by others. Trump simply used his freedom of speech, to state his opinion. Liberals make is sound as if Trump somehow can fire NFL players. Of course he can’t, the players work for the individual teams. The liberals make it sound as if Trump somehow is chilling freedom of speech.

3. Liberals bring race into it, because the players are protesting the whole canard about cops shooting black men for no reason. And it seems almost all protesting players are black. The liberals being the way they are, equate any opposition to a cause pushed by members of minority groups as racism or bigotry.

4. The liberals don’t seem to understand, that while we have freedom of speech, the rest of us who hear and see this freedom of speech also have our freedom of speech, to disagree with whatever cause is being pushed by protesters of all stripes.

“The NFL and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country and our culture”

I’m not even sure I understand what that is supposed to mean.

No matter the outcome, I’m done with NFL. I won’t watch a bunch of players who are forced to stand for the national anthem. It’s too late, I already know how they feel about my country.

He and all the anti-American BLM advocates have shown their true colors. I for I WILL NOT contribute in ANY way to an institution that allows these a-holes to disrespect our country flag and veterans in any way

The NFL and Their Westboro Baptist Church Protesters

We live in a great country that allows us to protest freely - but there are proper times and venues to protest. Take for example the Westboro Baptist Church protesting outside our fallen military funerals with their ‘God hates fags’ signs. I think all would agree, including NFL players, that this is both an inappropriate time and place – not to mention a false narrative.

But isn’t what these NFL players are doing even worse? They are essentially protesting outside all of fallen solders graves with a narrative of ‘Cops hate minorities’. I would even venture to say there are many veterans that would rather they protest outside their funeral than disrespect the flag that so many died for during our National Anthem.

The irony here is we are actually watching the NFL’s funeral due to the actions of these players. Their protest may cause future athletes, including minorities, to never have the opportunities that has been provided to them in this great country.

I used to love the old highlights shows with John Facenda’s voice, usually to orchestrated songs like “What do you get with a drunken sailor?”

The announcing then was far superior. Down and distance. Not a bunch of psycho babble about how a player “feels” being second string or having been traded.

In fact, in the NFL produced Super Bowl XI with the Cowboys and Dolphins, there isn’t a single reference to the fact that Herb Adderly, the great GB cornerback, had come over that year and plugged a key weakness in that Dallas team, or that Mike Ditka, one of the mainstays of Da Bears, was now wearing a silver star. There wasn’t even a COMMENT on Duane Thomas’s goofy antics of not talking to the press the entire year. Just football.

Haven't watched an NFL game since KaperDICK took the knee.

Kind of got a BIG part of my life back.

If I do have any interest in WHO won.. I bring up the online website for sports odds at the end of the day and check the scores.

‘He had led his team to three straight NFL Championship Games, in ’61, ’62, and ’63, but did not win.’

I remember the ‘62 game vividly; Giants and Packers, a relentless icy wind howling, and the game being blacked out in the greater New York area...my father and I tried all day to maneuver the antenna to pick up a Philly broadcast, but it was no go...
