It is outstanding to me that Roger Goodell still has a job.
The owners are not very smart businesssmen at all.
Here’s the thing. The NFL and the NFL players were operating the old paradigm.
1. Made a very loud moral stand under the color of moral righteousness and under the banner of racial grievance.
2. Push the issue with some grandstanding virtue signaling.
3. The media culture will back the “movement” 100%, despite no specifics and an ambiguous identification of the problem and ambiguous articulation of solutions.
4. The opposition to the stand will be largely intimidated and no one of note will take a leadership position against the movement.
5. The movement wins, almost by default.
The script changed. Things got bungled up with step 4, and that gave average people (usually intimidated) more ability to speak their mind and engage in the debate.
The liberals continue to operate under the outdated paradigm. They simply can’t wrap their minds around the clear fact that finally, they’re being openly (for firmly) disagreed with. The see this as being defied, though.
The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.
The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.
Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
Percy Bysshe Shelley
This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!
ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!
They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.
This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.
All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.
The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.
We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"
The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.
The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".
We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.
Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.
We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
The democrat party infiltrated the NFL.
Goodell hired clinton and obama hacks.
He allowed the players and coaches and the owners to support the killing of police officers and disparaging the flag while supporting those that support mass murderers Castro and Che.
He also would not allow support for the police killed in Texas or 9/11 remembrance.
NFL SCUM ALERT
I remember him well:
“No Tittle,
No Title”

Excellent, and moving article. It choked me up, and I don’t even watch football. Thanks for sharing.
CK killed the NFL games.
Goodell is aiding and abetting after the crime.
He is wrong and millions of Americans are proving that every Sunday.
This was how the NFL hooked a generation, now aging out of the audience, and never to be replaced.
He didn’t kill it, but he’s been letting it get gang-raped.
NFL team owners are just as much at fault. Roger Goodell works for the owners and he doesnt even fart without the NFL owners permission.
Numerous NFL owners came out attacking president Trump the same day that Goodell released his in his initial statement.
