OKAY, GOODELL, LET’S HEAR YOUR RESPONSE:

FROM THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE FANS UNION (NFLFU):

FACTS                         

In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take it off.

In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.

In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said “Know Jesus Know Peace” but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.

In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing “Find the Cure” eye black for breast cancer awareness.

In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem…)

In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.

In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of9/11.

So tell me again why so conveniently now, the NFL supports free speech and expression, all of a sudden…

It seems quite clear based on these facts that the NFL has taken a position against any action by NFL players  demonstrating RESPECT for any issue:  For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily for being cops, for the Memory of 9/11…

But, they will allowdemonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America, and for the American People, if it will help mollify a particular group and its supporters (such as BLM, and other leftists)

This is who and what the NFL has shown itself to be. A weak and cowardly organization that goes wherever the winds of political correctness blow it. It has allowed itself to be coerced into a tool for dividing the American People by marginalizing the good in our society and helping those that would tear society down by pushing division, disrespect and distrust. They could have stood up for what was right. But that would involve honor and courage. Neither virtue is associated with political correctness.

The NFL is hoping we are ignorant of the historical facts or have short memories. Not this time. The NFL has seriously misjudged the situation. The American People love heroes and winners, not a loser or a coward. Those we ultimately judge as villains. So it will be with the NFL.

    The world is full of opinionated babies!
    If any of these people had a life they would drop over dead, yet they have to bitch, moan and complain about everything the lame stream media shows on TV.

    They need to empty the bag, manage to be flushed down the drain and get out of everyone’s life.

    And that is my more than humble opinion!
