COWARDS: NFL now freezing new policy FORBIDDING Anthem protests
Posted on July 20, 2018




(National Sentinel) Self-Destruct: Last season the NFL shed millions of viewers and lost out on tens of millions of dollars in merchandise sales because league officials refused to end player protests of the National Anthem.

In the off-season, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the majority of team owners came to an agreement on a new policy that forbade players from using sideline antics as a form of political protest during games.

But now, all that’s on hold, thanks to the same kind of weak-spined management that allowed protests to continue throughout last season.

As Breitbart News reports:

The NFL and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) released a joint statement on Thursday night, vowing to put a hold on the new league rule requiring players on the field to stand for the playing of the national anthem.

The shocking development comes only hours after news leaked that the Miami Dolphins had added a category called “Proper Anthem Conduct,” to their player disciplinary document. The apparent reversal also comes only one week after the NFLPA filed a grievance against the league, in which the union sought a “system arbitration” to prevent the league from giving individual teams from requiring players to stand for the anthem, or disciplining them for refusing to do so.


The statement claims that both the league and the players union are talking and working on a resolution.

The NFL and NFLPA statement says, in part: “The NFL and NFLPA reflect the great values of America, which are repeatedly demonstrated by the many players doing extraordinary work in communities across our country to promote equality, fairness and justice.”

We’re not sure which group contains the most idiots — the owners and NFL management or the players themselves, both of whom seem hell-bent on destroying the very league that provides them with a fabulous living.

Perhaps both are just as ignorant — and tone-deaf.

Most fans don’t give a whip about “equality, fairness, and justice” when they tune in to watch football…played by multi-millionaires. They. Just. Want. To. See. A. Game.

But they also aren’t down with having the American flag and our country disrespected over a myth: That all police are racists who target black men inappropriately.

That just doesn’t happen on a wide scale.

Even with the policy change, it was going to take years for the league to woo back some fans that it lost.

Now, because of its abject cowardice, it’s lost them forever.

Stupidity on steroids.

They ended themselves with me long ago.

I hope they all go bankrupt.

buh bye, nfl...

In my opinion, watching these goons more than occasionally is a waste of a grown mans valuable time. If people worried about there politicians as much as they worried about professional athletes, the country wouldn’t be so messed up.

I can’t imagine wearing another mans name on my back. How embarrassing.

In their single-minded attempt to not offend their 2500 or so players, the NFL has chosen to royally piss off the bulk of their millions of (former) fans. You know, the ones who provide billions of dollars to support the teams. Or I should say DID provide.

They'll cry we're all racist next. They're all just thugs in uniform anyhow.

nfl/nba , just a modern version of cotton picking.

The NFL is dead to me.

I'm gone.

No NFL here.

Fugg em, they lost me years ago...guess they're back to selling crack on the corner.

That community service they brag about doesn't even come close to atoning for the violence and buffoonery committed by the players on their own time. Thugs, they be - and they expect us to respect their protest. Screw 'em.

The next step is to have the players strike all across the NFL. No play, no pay.

Seems to me a lifestyle change is in order.

Fug all of them

Out. Still.





P

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Hasbeen

WTF does any of this have to do with community service??? This is nothing more than the NFL being more worried about political correctness than worried about offending people who love the country- gutless.

I haven't watched even a single down of pro football since KaeperDICK first kneeled during the National Anthem 2 years ago. The National Felon's League can go collectively to hell. I hope they go bankrupt and leave these super rich children, being paid to play a f u c k i n g GAME, in the unemployment line.

I can’t think of anything clever to add to the stink the NFL has created, so I’ll just say DITTO!
