Roger Goodell - Page 6

There aren’t enough ironic illustrations, to adequately express what has happened to ESPN this week. The network that has become a bastion of left-wing media activism, was protested by two different groups of leftists, angry at ESPN for suspending an activist journalist that they should have fired a month ago.

In what is surely a sign of the times in which we currently live, the topic of how to players will conduct themselves during the playing of the national anthem, will be “front and center” part of the agenda when NFL owners meet next week.

Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones had had it with anthem protests. Just how tired of it is he? Tired enough that Jones has now publicly said that if his team doesn’t respect the flag, they’re not going to play.

It took 5 weeks, but one NFL team has reportedly been told what all teams should have been told before the season even started: stand for the anthem, or stay in the locker room.

Marshawn Lynch, an NFL player who has never stood accused of being immune to the powers of irony, showed up to the stadium on Sunday wearing a shirt that read: “Everybody vs Trump.”

In news that will shock only those who have spent the last week living in caves, the NFL’s favorability has taken a massive nosedive.

The NFL has a hot mess on its hands. Players knelt during the National Anthem in record numbers last weekend, an act of defiance towards President Donald J. Trump, who on September 22, called on kneeling players to be fired. The practice of NFL player anthem kneeling was started last year by former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick because he feels the United States “oppresses black people.”

At any other point in history a magazine calling itself Sports Illustrated, putting out a cover which had no sports in it, might seem odd. Then again, few other points in history have been as dumb as 2017.

The Remington Research Group has just conducted a public poll, which shows two things very clearly. First, the American people agree with Donald Trump when it comes to NFL anthem protests. Second, if the NFL doesn’t cease allowing their league to become a fashion show for narcissistic SJW-wannabe’s, college football will be the most popular sport in America within five years.

The act of NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem has gone from being a stunt to a plague that is infecting the whole league. When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell responded to President Trump’s criticism by defending the players, he showed that he not only has no clue why NFL viewership is in the tank, he also has no clue what the National Anthem is all about.

The Steelers, sans U.S. Army Ranger veteran Alejandro Villanueva, remained in their locker room during the playing of the national anthem for their early game in Chicago. Now it appears, two teams on the NFL’s afternoon schedule plan to do the same thing.

Stevie Wonder dropped to both knees ahead of his concert at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City Saturday, where he told the thousands in attendance he was taking a knee for America and both knees in prayer for the world and its leaders.

Colin Kaepernick and Roger Goodell hate Donald Trump. Whose side are you on?

After President Trump took on NFL protesters and NBA cry babies this weekend, lemming players predictably got their jock straps and gym shorts in a collective wad. They fired off their tough guy tweets, standing together against Trump because that’s what they do. The actual tweets from players ranged from stupid and silly to insulting and threatening.

Saturday during her opening statement on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” Jeanine Pirro delivered an emotional monologue directed at national anthem protesters and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who responded to President Trump’s “divisive” comments where he said he wishes NFL owners would

President Donald Trump sharply criticized National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell for “justifying” the “disrespect” that NFL players show to the United States as a result of the now ubiquitous protests held during the playing of the national anthem.

The NFL has responded to President Trump’s comments, about NFL players who protest the anthem, and what he believes should happen to them. Goodell called Trump’s comments, “divisive,” and accused the president of a “failure to understand the overwhelming force for good,” that the NFL represents to its communities.

Roger Goodell didn’t wait for the Las Vegas Police Department’s press conference about the Michael Bennett incident, before releasing his own statement in support of Bennett. Had he done so, he would have found some serious holes in Bennett’s claim that he was cuffed and threatened by the police because of his race.

The report, however, also found the NFL did not aggressively pursue new information about the Rice case.”
