Like most of America’s broken corporations and institutions, the National Football League has completely bent the knee to the radical Black Lives Matter lobby, thus potentially guaranteeing its own demise as fed-up former fans flee in search of sanity.After years of pushing back against disgraced former NFL star Colin Kaepernick’s widely disliked national anthem protests, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued an apologetic video statement Friday reversing course on everything.Listen: (Video) “It has been a difficult time for our country, in particular black people in our country. First my condolences to families

And who will buy products that advertise or watch media that promote the work of these athletes? Stadiums have become expanses of empty seats and TV ratings will go even faster into the toilet. These athletes should probably get better at looting because they have largely wasted their 'free' education and can't look forward to real employment. Who knows? Maybe Soros actually pays his thugs well.

Proudly NOT watching any football since 2017 (or whenever it was Kapernit started kneeling).

If a rope in a tree can trigger the social justice types, shouldn't "taking a knee" remind them of how George Floyd died? Asking for a friend.

Going to be even fewer folks watching football whenever it starts back.
You can't spit in our faces, and on our flag and expect us to like you and watch your games.

The NFL, in the person of Roger Goodell have jumped the shark.
I stopped watching whenever Kapernick got into the game, and completely stopped when he began starting games.
I watched a few playoff games last season, but now, not even those.
I fondly remember the days when BLM meant Bureau of Land Management, even though they were hopelessly incompetent.

As I have commented elsewhere I am disappointed that I cannot participate in the dissent as I quit watching the NFL over a decade ago and MLB in the 90s, never watched NBA and now pay little attention to NASCAR with all of their ridiculous rule and format changes. Too many other things worth doing.
"Sports" are committing suicide by embracing politics. Just a bunch of whining millionaires.

We have been going on with our lives without the usually happy distraction of sports for quite sometime. And we can continue. NFL down and out. I wonder who is going to join them? Because when you do we will walk away from you too and never look back. You want to kiss butt go right ahead but do not expect us to join you.

I pray this is the Lord at work, removing our idols and distractions and making us face Him instead. I pray He has a merciful plan for this country because I love this country, I believe the Lord gave us a most precious gift in founding this nation. And we have a huge battle on our hands. We need the Lord, as our founders needed Him and honored Him. The question is whether we will turn back to Him.

An entertainment industry basic is that lost audiences are notoriously difficult to recapture. Here, the NFL recommits to a small fraction of their potential audience, which generally prefers the faster-moving game of basketball, and to the soyboy social justice crowd, which dislikes sports in general and further demands rebranding of teams like the Redskins. Mainstream churches made the same mistake, mocking their core audience each Sunday until they stop attending.

NFL stand for Not For Long as fans cancel season tickets quit buying swag from the NFL Shop and take a knee in protest for a major sports league surrendering to bully street thugs in the name of political correctness which is a sign of total weakness. Im out for the season.

The NFL, already in a deep hole, just asked for a newer, bigger shovel. There will be an announcement soon that the league is losing billions and needs a bailout. Blacks hurt disproportionately.

I demand Goodell be fired. I support the lockdown of the NFL. It is not safe to attend NFL games. The NFL, their announcers, and talk show personalities have become nothing but race hustlers, and political agenda mongers. Everyone of them should be forced to include a message that they are a message from the Democrat Party, instead of the shopworn NFL prohibitions about their copyrights. The left has destroyed the NFL, like everything else they touch. I want a divorce from leftists. Pack your things and get out.

Americans that believe in the constitution need to punish the NFL just like we did a couple of years ago.
Do not attend any NFL games or buy NFL products. I will even go so far as to not even let a game be shown on my TV.
They went though this a few years ago but being essentially stupid people the team owners did not learn a thing!
This whole business of people taking a knee is designed to make us bow to them.
I will not ever take a knee. Since Floyd was killed, how many black men have been killed by other black men?
How many black people have been killed by the looters and organized Antifa?

The NFL is DEAD.
It will be buried at the beginning of the next season when 75% + of the players (including Drew Brees) will take a knee for the National Anthem.

The NFL is openly embracing a terrorist organization thinking they are being politically correct. Professional football is a business, not a non-profit social justice group, although that is what they’ve become. This is suicide. RIP

I have occasionally watched a classic game broadcast or two during the pandemic-caused shutdown of all sports. I now know that I can truly enjoy old games that occurred back when players, white and black, saluted the flag with hands over their hearts.
I don't care if I never watch another live broadcast. That includes baseball and college football if they go too far with demonizing a large segment of their audience to placate their spoiled and insulated players.

I don't think the country could withstand another lockdown in the fall but I am hoping cities prevent the games from being played with fans in attendance. No fans = less money for this pathetic organization.

While I still watched the NFL last year, I never watch an entire game. It's too boring. There are too many commercials, and I'm tired of all the over blown reactions by players for simply doing the job for which they are being paid an enormous amount of money to do. Just name to NFL the BFL and be done with it.

The real message behind this embrace of BLM is that Black violent criminal activity (e.g., murder, rape, armed robbery, arson, aggravated assault, etc.), far out of proportion to the Black percentage of the US population, should no longer matter to the victims and to society at large.

Goodell said he should have listened to the players -- he really meant the black players. Bet he will bow down to them.

“Without black players, there would be no National Football League."
Wow. Think about the inference of that statement. As for the future autumns in our house, we went all-in on college football years ago. Dozens of exciting games every weekend - enough to both watch live all day Saturday and recorded games all day Sunday. So check out a good SEC match-up this fall, everyone. You'll enjoy it!

I cant Wait to see if the new football stadium in Las Vegas opens on time and has fans in the stands. Our Dem governor now allows 50 people to congregate in church, so my church still isn’t open. The governor didn’t say one thing about social distancing while people were protesting, except to say I hear your pain. We still have a fine policeman fighting for his life, but Gov. Sissy hasn’t said much about that. You can bet he will not say a word about filling the Raiders stadium. Follow the money as usual.

We all know goodell is a gutless spineless wimp. Brees I can sort of understand. He has to depend on a bunch of black racist millionaires to protect him from another bunch of racist millionaires who are trying to make white guy pie out of him every game. That said, I'll never know 'cause I havent watched the nfl for 3 years.

Coldoc (#44), remember a few years ago when the so-called 'Saints' had a bounty for the hit that would injure Brett Favre (who had switched to the Vikings) badly enough to put him out of the NFC championship game?
The same THUGS, and more like them, are on the teams today.
I would wager that one of 'The Boyz' let Brees know that, unless he grovels sufficiently today, some 300-lb black lineman will make sure that Brees' next National Felons League game will be his LAST.

I'm not very knowledgeable about football. I only started watching the Patriots when Brady started winning games. I liked watching the mood (for the lack of a better term) on the field. I could tell when they were going to win. My poor husband had to keep explaining the rules of the game, but he's patient and we had a good time. Then Kaperknickers happened. And of course Roger Goodell. We watched fewer and fewer games. Now Brady's in Florida, and now I really don't care about the Patriots, either.
But all these sports agencies have taken upon themselves a political mantle, rather than just staying the heck out of the maelstrom of political animosities.
Why not say: We have Black players, Hispanic and a whole range of other ethnicities. They all matter, our fans matter, all of them, we don't care what color they are. We care if there is injustice, of any kind. Most cops are good cops, often in dangerous situations on behalf of the communities they serve. I know i am thankful for them.
The moral preening going on is nauseating. Are we --as a country, a people-- really accepting these mass confessions of ideological purity? That's what was so disappointing about Drew Brees. So much for his "convictions" about his love of country and honoring his father's and grandfather's service. A sports radio guy LOSES his job? Many other's threatened with retribution for have the wrong viewpoint??? this isn't behavior! These infractions are dang THOUGHT CRIMES.
