Fortunately no one— and I mean NO ONE— gives a fart about what “the NFL” thinks .

I certainly DON’T. I gave up on the national felon league after Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson got into trouble.

Atheism is an establishment of religion, too.

It is a religion that has been officially respected, sanctioned, protected, preached, and imposed more than any other.

While the merest suggestion of Christian virtues and morality get condemned as being "divisive", not "inclusive", "intolerant" and that it "shouldn't be shoved down our throats."

Atheism in control of culture has had more than its fair share of time and power. It's time for something else to have its turn.

NFL is a complete fraud, and entertainment venue that all these fans believe in....they pay huge salaries so the players don't squeal...

we need to find different heroes.

Harrison Butker’s speech is such a breath of fresh air. Benedictine College’s official video of the speech has approximately one million views after only 5 days. Besides raising the ire of all the haters, the speech will genuinely touch many, many listeners, particularly young people. With the seed planted by this tremendous speech, many souls will discover or rediscover Jesus Christ as well as traditional values and pro-life beliefs. I’m 100% sure that numerous listeners found themselves Googling many of the topics upon which Harrison touched.

Nfl football is really killing itself.
I stopped watching a few years ago. No need to worship the players. Haven’t watched more than one whole game total in last 3 years. I use super bowl Sunday as day to go outdoors when everyone else engorges themself indoors.

They certainly ran off a lot of fans years ago. I can hardly watch NASCAR for similar reasons. And I much preferred NASCAR. I don't think I've watched even 5% of a NASCAR race since then. I can only watch a little NHRA if I'm in a hotel room and that's not happening right now, anyways.

I wonder why the nfl commented? The guy was not at work when he said what he said. Now, had he been at the mic during a postgame interview, that would be different. They may want to clarify he speaks for himself, not for the league. Furthermore, they could justifiably ask him to not talk about religion while at work bc it isn’t good for business. But, when a guy is in his own time, the nfl needs to stfu.

A conservative Catholic says conservative Catholic things at a conservative Catholic college and people are agog?

No diversity of thought allowed?

What horrible, non-inclusive things did the 28-year-old Butker say?

He said that children need mothers and fathers in the home.

Ironically, it's the essentially the same thing Bill Cosby said in a May 17, 2004 speech to the NAACP on the fiftieth anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education.

But these people, the ones up here in the balcony fought so hard.

Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! And then we all run out and are outraged, 'The cops shouldn't have shot him.'

What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand? I wanted a piece of pound cake just as bad as anybody else, and I looked at it and I had no money. And something called parenting said, 'If you get caught with it you're going to embarrass your mother.' Not 'You're going to get your butt kicked.' No. 'You're going to embarrass your family.'

...In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had on and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today.

Although the allegations against Cosby of repeated sexual assaults of women date back to the mid-1960s, the floodgates of women going public with their recollections didn't begin until January 2005, eight months after the NAACP speech.

Coincidence, or was the black grievance lobby retaliating against what "America's Dad" had said about black families?

And now we have the NFL stepping into the fray against a white Catholic placekicker who spoke about the role of mothers and fathers in their children's lives to a graduating class at a Catholic college.

Screw the NFL. They have become another institution aligned with the left’s goal of destroying America. NASCAR tried it with the noose incident but that fell flat on its face. Destroying an institution like the NFL has been a goal of the left for ages.

As a small aside, I am triggered when I hear the word “Yankee.” I think Major league baseball needs to force the Yankees to change their name.
