The Past and Future of the NFL

"Peter" has some thoughts on the NFL.

Some folks have come to despise the NFL. For fans who follow the sport, most of this will be a simple reminder of things you already know. For the rest, it's a wake-up call:

In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling before 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 by the same sniper in the line of duty.

In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

In Sports, they should know something about "Playing Fair." So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression. 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, or for the Memory of 9/11, etc.

BUT they DO allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America , and for the American People, particularly if it will help mollify a particular Group and its supporters. That is what the NFL has shown itself to be.

We must Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin. And support our law enforcement and remember the 18 officers that have died at the hands of this communist uprising.

Let's get the word out and flood their office with complaints and please, do not support them by watching their games. Remember what they represent and how un-American their activities are. Supporting BLM is supporting the subversive Marxists Anarchists aggressively attacking our country. BLM leaders have publicly stated that they are Marxists and that they are following the Communist Manifesto's Rules for Seizing Power.

I quit watching NFL when the kaperdickhead kneeling started. Now that it’s spread to college and even high school players, I’m done with them too. I may have played football several years ago; I’m also a veteran. We need to reinstate the draft; get these emerging thugs off the streets and teach them some respect, patriotism, discipline and manners.

Good idea, Ernie. Reinstating the Draft is the best remedy for most of this country's problems. You can't throw rocks and bottles at police officers if you're busy doing pushups in boot camp. Let them talk trash just once to a DI and they'll learn real fast to respect authority.

Dreams of another draft are just dreams. What these guys need is some serious prison time. They'd probably all come out as esteemed members of the LGBTQ society.

Major League sports offered minorities many opportunities, fame, money, and respect. There is always a few who get the idea they can do anything and still retain all of these things that they had attained. I think more and more people have ceased caring about these guys when they started acting out. I used to enjoy a good game on TV, but I'm done. I no longer see athletes on the field, just overpaid gangbangers.

Ruwanna:, if they weren’t LGBT members going into prison, they might be coming out.
