Giving Goddell that much money when the league is clearly in crisis is absolutely a fair topic. The only one bringing up politics into it was the noob. I could care less about who you voted for. Sports should be a political-free zone. Play the game. No more no less. |
A majority of the fans agree with keeping it political-free, but some of the players have turned it into exactly that, a platform to make a political or personal statement. It's funny that they can only make that statement on the field, in their uniform, when the camera is on them. They don't seem to make the same statement, off the field, on their own personal time, when there are no cameras.
But we cannot get players to just play the game, and the fans turned off the NFL, thus hurting their pockets. The NFL organization did nothing but watch and say it was okay to do this, turning more fans away.
IMO, I would of liked the NFL to tell the players, while you are wearing your uniform, and representing your team and the NFL, your personal views will have to wait. The NFL will support the players and their views on their OWN time, but not "while on the clock".
If I did what some of them do "While on the clock", I would be fired. When I am at work, I am representing the company that I work for and the have policies on work behavior. But we have derailed this thread a little.. now back to some football.
Come on CAROLINA, we need some help by the Dirty Birds to take down the Saints!!!
