Already seeing a slump in ticket sales for next season????
“created a false impression”.... and I bet Goodall means it too.
I’m glad they’ve finally done something but seriously too late for me. Not interested.
Still ain’t watching.
And go to Hell, Marco Rubio.
Reap what you sow, liar Goodell!
The winning continues!
...one that is extraordinary in its scope, resources, and alignment with our players...
Extraordinary? Yes, patriotism and love of country is becoming uncommon today.
However, love of money and self interest is above country now.
“In other words: The Negros, Felons, and Liberals will continue to hate America but we will just hide that from you Americans.”
Exactly - who’s kidding who here?
This elitist scum are incredibly condescending and patronizing it’s sickening.
Sorry. No respect for you, NFL. None.
Late.
Uuuuummmmm, so riddle me this Batman, since the players were SSSSOOOOOO concerned about “social issues” and the NFL swore to pony up money for said player social issues, the only player I see putting up his own money is JJ Watt...I haven’t seen any players in this off season out there “helping their community.”
Oh yes - we love the Lightning! Thinking about going to the game tonight...
If there was any “justice or fairness” Goodell would be on a street corner carrying a “Will Work for Food” sign. Unfortunately, sociopaths like him rise to the top.
“...instead, enjoy the most exciting breathtaking sport: hockey. It’s the only sport that is expanding.”
Agreed! I go to hockeyfights.com all the time!
;^)
Who cares? They are still giving $90mm to Soros funded BLM and other Communist fronts.... why would any American support that?
But fighting and the goon/enforcer role is dying in the NHL. One of the greatest enforcers still playing is Ryan Reaves, currently with the Vegas Golden Knights. Earlier in his career, he trained to be a brawler. But he was smart enough to see the NHL is moving towards speed over brawn.
So Reaves adjusted: he began working on his scoring skills, in particular, the tip in. All that practice paid off when he tipped in the puck to win the Western Conference for Vegas last Sunday.
That little anecdote serves the bigger picture that the NHL is changing for the better, and at the expense of all the Barack Ghettobama leagues such as the nfl and nba.
Oh, I forgot to mention this: Ryan Reaves is black.
Can the players who refuse to keep to business during business hours. There are plenty of others out there who want a chance at playing professional football.
Catering to these people is almost as offensive as the players refusing to respect our nation and flag.
The mental failure of the NFL leadership to get a grip here is astounding.
Goodell actually thinks this nothing burger is going to placate people?
As ignorant as these people are, I almost expect him to make a statement like this, thinking it will work.
“Dear NFL viewers. We realize that some of you have been ‘put off’ by the refusal of some of our players to stand for the national anthem. To make up for this and show how sincere we are, on May 26th, we will sacrifice ten ten year old virgin girls on a alter in Kansas City. We hope this will impress you with how sincere we are about changing for the better. In the future we will only allow half the players who want to kneel, do it. Thank you for your support.”
Perhaps I shouldn’t give people this mentally challenged an idea.
I have never seen players in the NHL disrespect the anthem, and most of them aren’t even American (Canadians, Russians, Czechs, Swedes and Finns mostly).
The NFL has been anti-conservative for many years.
Rush Limbaugh was sidelined by ESPN because of these same forces.
They hated and sidelined Tim Tebow even though he was a big draw for them.
They took up the banner of so-called “equality” under the sexual perversion agenda.
Then they refused to enforce their own policies to reign in the unpatriotic protests being conducted by players while they were on the clock.
Personally, I’ve always resented the massive salaries that sports and entertainment celebrities make when people who are otherwise productive with their minds or even via skilled labor do not earn anywhere near in comparison. But maybe such envy is a character flaw.
Regardless, I certainly do not intend to financially reward those who openly wage war against my values and beliefs.
The NFL is run by rich elites who despise me and my values. They wish to placate me (and the unpatriotic protestors) for the sake of their own enrichment and nothing else.
Forgive me, but I have no sympathy for the tiny financial loss this whole fiasco has caused the NFL. I wish it was far more.
This is a non-apology, apology that the left is so experienced at. For me, apology NOT ACCEPTED.
