President Trump pondered in a tweet Sunday whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodells apology for not listening to black players when they spoke out about racism was also a green light for them to kneel during the season.
Trump has said players who knelt during the national anthem are being disrespectful to their country and flag.
Could it be even remotely possible that in Roger Goodells rather interesting statement of peace and reconciliation, he was intimating that it would now be O.K. for the players to KNEEL, or not to stand, for the National Anthem, thereby disrespecting our Country & our Flag? he wrote.

Itll be mandatory.
I will NEVER go to, watch, or listen to any professional sport where the pampered millionaire players might disrespect the flag of the United States. The unions, the NFL, Goodell, or anyone else can say or do whatever they want, but I, for one, don’t give a rat’s behind about it.
Most of the $$$ come from TV/cable. Maybe from sales of the colon clapperdick nike special shoes.
We have as much chance of salvaging professional sports as we do public education and Hollywood. Some things just can’t be saved.
I wont either, for about the 10th straight year.
The NFL is heading, full speed, to a Get Woke, Go Broke crackup.
I think there needs to be a WuFlu ban on all professional team sports, music concerts and movie productions. Let’s keep these snowflakes safe and poor.
Me thinks that the NFL should have their anti-trust exemption status revoked! I mean if the USA is so bad as to kneel, then the NFL owners wont mind.
By the way, this will hurt the NFL in a most severe way, in the pocketbook.
He would do well not to focus too much on this. Not that I agree with it, but I know I just dont really give a damn about it anymore and Im sure many other people are at that point...
“These leagues don’t give a sh!t about sports fans.”
And the players don’t care either. Fans whining and crying after their team loses and the players are out that night partying and having a good time.
Americans have the power to starve that beast. Just stop supporting them with your money and your presence. Of course China will pick up the tab.
Eff the NFL.
Let them play in empty stadiums, watched by nobody on TV.
They’ll kneel but the TV crews won’t show the Anthem, they will cut to a commercial instead. Why not sell the air time instead of putting on something will cause people to tune out?
Will their be fans in the stands? Most NFL teams w/ an exception of a few (GB & NE etc) can easily adhere to social distancing at their games as ticket sales are not good, and w/ 15% unemployed, likely their key fan demographic, sales won’t improve when it is $80 for upper deck seat.
Monica Lewinsky Knelt.
Context is everything.
“The end of the National Felons League.”
Done with the NFL.
Let the market decide.
:)
Allow them to kneel? Goodell may REQUIRE them to kneel.
The Super Bowl should be a game of how long they can sit on their backsides in the middle of the field. Whomever lasts the longest wins.
Seriously, who cares, the NFL killed itself.
Jay-Z runs the NFL.
