Stand up and play.

I think it is funny.

It all started with the pink uniform stuff in October. The NFL grew so large that it couldn't expand without pandering to new demographics. They chose to do it ways that alienated their base. It's NASCAR 2.0.

I think the NFL started down the Social Justice Warrior path long before NASCAR ever thought about it.

Quoted:
I’ve been a Chiefs fan for 25+ years. I’m done with the NFL, forever. This anthem protest bullshit is just the last straw. They’ve pissed me off with their going on strike, concussion bullshit, flags for hitting too hard, flags for excessive celebration, instant replay adding an hour to every game, etc etc. screw it, I’m done.

I figure the Chiefs will finally win the Super Bowl, I won’t be watching.

Quote History

Quoted:
Their billion dollar stadium probably doesn't feature enough diversity and inclusion.

What California needs to do is build a two billion dollar stadium which will address the gender, sexual orientation, religious, cultural, gender-identity and marital status needs of their fanbase.

Of course, it would also include a ban on Republicans.

Good point. The lack of fans in California could just be a bathroom problem.

Watching a football game in person was one of the more boring things in my life. Nothing like sitting in a cold stadium for 4 1/2 hours or more to watch 15 minutes of activity. Even the NFL realizes that people are finding it a better experience to watch the game at home. You can do other things while the ads are on. Like mow the lawn.

Average playing time in an NFL game is 11 minutes. So about 4% of your 4 1/2 hours was spent watching the game. Or about every half hour you got a minute of play.

I'd be surprised if Goodell isn't fired in the off season.
He has been spectacular stupid in his decisions.

These numb nuts deserve everything they get. They tried to strong arm the country and the country answered with a resounding FUCK YOU. I hope the players salaries dro and profit sharing tanks. I can’t wait for next team that wants a city to build them a stadium gets told to eat a bag of dicks. Fuck every single one of the oppressed millionaires.

The Los Angeles San Diego Chargers stunt is bound to fail, just like the Los Angeles Oakland Raiders stunt failed.

View Quote

There is a reason the Rams & Raiders both left in the early 90's. LA, as big as it is, doesn't seem to support football for shit.

Worse thing the Rams did was help/allow/vote for another team in LA.

Worse thing the Chargers did was leave San Diego...

But, but, but Goodell has now instructed all these assholes to stand up!!!

Here's your sign you dizzy fucking momo!!!

I'm not a fan anymore, haven't watched NFL for years, but I do hope you guys that started boycotting maintain that hardline.

It will be absolutely entertaining to watch these bastards squirm.

I'm sure the liberals that are cheering player protests are going to pick up the viewership and attendance slack.

I forget who it was who said it, but it was something to the effect of "there aren't enough hipster millennial douchebags and lesbian sociology professors to make up for the massive loss of audience among suburban white males"

I'm not getting that quote exactly right, but you get the idea.

Quoted:
Chiefs can't win post season. Lin Elliott cursed them.

Kneeling transformed into arms linked and is now transforming into the Black Panther fist raised salute. That will go over well with the fans. I won't be renewing my season tickets next year.

Robert Quinn (Rams) has been raising his first during the anthem for years now. Quite possibly since the infamous 'hands up, don't shoot' "demonstration" that (5) players did back when whilst coming out on to the field...

Black and liberal activists will destroy the NFL then blame white people for the destruction of the NFL. Count on it.

I finally had to tell my co-workers that 72% of the US is white, and shitting on the symbols that those folks hold dear, and calling them slave owners and racists isn't going to get your bills paid.

Yeah... strange that those who can't convince us to hand over our dollars WILLINGLY by producing a good/service/etc that people WANT to buy (and it helps if you don't insult your customers, or denigrate things they care about), will immediately appeal to government to FORCIBLY separate us from our dollars.

Apparently the NFL is just another group of rent-seeking Leftist a**holes.

Super high ticket prices, ridiculous concession prices, and they are allowing their players to shit on the Anthem?

Yeah, I don't see it going well.

And they're currently 3-0. I don't know if it's a fluke or not, but it's a good start. I'll have to see if there are attendance figures for Las Vegas.
