“Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner, is allowing this just because of the percentage of black players in the NFL. On three occasions Goodell said NO to wearing an emblem to honor the 5 Dallas police officers that were murdered by a black lives matter activist, said NO on wearing a arm bland to honor the 9/11 victims and said NO to wearing an insignia to honor Jesus Christ. In the NFL rules book it states that the National Anthem will be played before each game and the home team will have our American Flag presented and be in good shape. The players will stand upright with their helmets under their left arm and their right hands over their hearts with no conversations. Those who don’t abide by this will be penalized by some action.” GR reader Kenneth G.
END THE NFL
by Daniel Greenfield, To the Point, 29th September 2017Story continues below advertisementAn Army recruit starts off with a salary under $20,000. Thousands of active duty military personnel are on food stamps. Millions of veterans rely on them to feed their families and themselves.
That’s how we treat the best of us. Here’s how we treat the worst of us.
https://youtu.be/U2XSkPz1PDA
An NFL rookie’s minimum salary is $465,000. And the majority of NFL players are usually bankrupt a few years after retirement because they blew through most of their money. Dozens of NFL players are arrested every year on charges ranging from murder to rape to animal abuse.
2017 was a banner year for the NFL with three times as many arrests as last year.
Along with the usual drunk driving and disorderly conduct arrests, there were 7 arrests for assault/battery, 6 for drugs and 5 for domestic violence.
The Seattle Seahawks announced that they weren’t going to “participate in the national anthem” because of the “injustice that has plagued people of color in this country”. While they lost that game, they are one of the top ranked teams in arrests. Alongside the Los Angeles Rams, the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets, all of whom showed some solidarity with the anti-American protests, these top NFL criminal teams have racked up arrests for domestic violence, drugs, DUI and assault and battery.
It’s no wonder that so many of the NFL’s millionaire scumbags are eager to join Colin Kaepernick’s protests against the justice system by degrading our anthem.
It’s because they’re criminals.
And it’s no wonder that the NFL stands behind its thugs. If a team can shrug at abusing women, what’s a little anti-American tantrum by a prize property that makes them millions of dollars?
The only question is why are the rest of us subsidizing it?
NFL teams loot millions from taxpayers to fund their stadiums. The Seahawks have a point about injustice. And the injustice is that taxpayers had to spend $390 million on their stadium.
Who will let Washington taxpayers take a knee and opt out of being exploited by the Seahawks?
Ten New Orleans Saints players sat out the anthem. New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton expressed pride in the players who rejected the United States of America. The Saints not only enjoy a stadium paid for by a billion in taxpayer money in a city with one of the highest poverty rates in the country, but are exempt from sales tax. And receive millions every year in “inducement payments” to stay put.
Sweetheart deals like these are not uncommon. The NFL comes with a pass on property taxes (those are for little people) and taxes in general. Until 2015, the NFL was a non-profit. “Professional football leagues” was actually inserted into the Internal Revenue Code to provide a special non-profit status. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell got paid $44 million in one year. That made him the highest paid non-profit exec in the country.
The entire NFL is an illegal trust. It’s a monopoly that was illegally legalized by Congress.
That monopoly allows the NFL and its teams to cash in on television licensing and team gear. After the NFL uses its illegal monopoly to rip off broadcasters, ESPN rips off cable subscribers.
ESPN pays the NFL almost $2 billion a year. Even if you don’t watch ESPN, you’re paying $9 a month for it because of yet another illegal monopoly. If you subscribe to cable or live in a major city, the odds are good that your pocket is being picked by the millionaire racists “taking a knee” against America.
But the monopolies are dying.
ESPN is bleeding subscribers. The NFL’s anti-American turn is alienating fans. And cable is collapsing.
The NFL is built on government taking money from people and giving it to the industry. Its leftward tilt isn’t an accident. It’s a calculated move. Who are the folks most likely to bail out an industry? They’re on the left. Not the right. If your monopoly is dying, it’s time to go left and hate America.
Anthem bashing is popular with the left. And it’s very popular with the social justice bloggers who increasingly dominate sports journalism, and not just on ESPN. Hating America will score points with the left. It’ll buy the NFL more protectionism from the media and the 2020 Democrats.
The only question is why do we need the NFL?
Once upon a time there was a football free market. Multiple leagues competed with each other. And the NFL was just one of many. The NFL-AFL merger created a monster monopoly that has worked to crush any independent league through its control over broadcasting and venues.
That’s what happened with the United States Football League which won an anti-trust court case against the NFL, but was forced under anyway.
The man at the center of the fight against the NFL was New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump.
The illegal monopoly that created the NFL was the work of Senator Russell Long, the son of radical criminal Dem kingpin Huey Long, who illegally took over his father’s Senate seat (previously held by his mother) and spent almost four decades in the Senate with no qualification except his last name.
The NFL got a monopoly in exchange for New Orleans getting a franchise.
Congressman Hale Boggs, the corrupt Louisiana Dem boss who went to war with the FBI, got it through in the House by appealing, “The Republicans are out to get me. I need this to save me.”
And Boggs held things up until he got assurances from the NFL commissioner that the franchise was in.
That’s the corrupt Democrat deal that created the NFL monopoly. Of course the NFL thinks the justice system is unfair. It was created by a crime and it’s full of criminals.
Before the anthem protests, the NFL was just one of the corrupt legacies of Democrat rule. It’s a reminder of the fact that social justice politics, whether it’s Obama’s “You Didn’t Build That” or Huey Long’s “Share Our Wealth”, is nothing more than organized thievery from the working class.
But the NFL is no longer just a corrupt monopoly. Instead it’s becoming a radical anti-American organization that uses its taxpayer-subsidized stadiums and monopoly broadcasting rights to spread hatred toward this country and disrespect to the soldiers who fought and died for it.
America could have tolerated the NFL’s corrupt thievery. But there’s no way Americans should be subsidizing this diseased leftover of Democrat corruption when it spews hate at the United States.
It’s time for the NFL’s anti-trust exemption to go the way of Ma Bell.
Break up the corrupt Democrat monopoly of the NFL and demolish the barriers to the formation of independent leagues by taking on the NFL, ESPN and its broadcasting partners in crime.
It’s time for the NFL to take a knee and for the free market to rise.
Football must become an American sport again.

NFL players have the same opinion of women as devout members of The Religion of Peace.
Both view them as 3rd class citizen. When women refuse to submit. They are punished.

That very “SOB” term was used by President John F. Kennedy in 1962 in a private conversation, in which he used it to describe the bosses of the major steel companies that had threatened to raise prices on steel. (Goaded by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, the steel firms in the end were blackmailed into knuckling under.)
But the anti-American “protests” are more than what was mentioned (the rap sheet aspect explaining all of why the league’s initials are said to stand for “National Felons’ League”); the taking a knee is an indication these spoiled, multimillionaire, women-beating players are essentially on the same page as ISIS, al Qaeda, HAMAS, Hezbollah, North Korea and all other enemies of America and Western civilization.
And it begs to be mentioned that this is the ultimate example of how, under Obama’s insidious influence, we have fallen in one generation from a hero like Pat Tillman, to a coward, traitor and ingrate like Kaepernick and those that have followed his sorry example. (If Kaepernick were to fight abroad, it’d be more for al Qaeda or ISIS than for Old Glory, I’m afraid.)

Those are fair statistics to present but it should be kept in mind that around 3/4 of the players are black.

You’re correct; there’s an inherent sampling error. It would be more accurate to determine the exact percentages of the NFL’s constituency by race and then to compare those numbers against the total number of crimes committed by the league in any one year to see if one race was disproportionately represented.

The kicker about the stadium in Seattle is that although there was already a stadium there, and although a new one was VOTED DOWN, they went through back doors legally and built it anyway. On tax our dollars.
I have never liked football in particular, but I have a great hatred for the NFL and all it stands for. Boycotting them is nothing new for me.

The problem is that whether sports fans and celebrity worshipers will admit it or not, they are mindless sheep. These people who religiously follow some cult of jocks or actors, are identical to europeans who in essence worship either the nobility of socialism, with the religion fervour of a jihadist. Some people have to have idols, idolatry is still very popular amongst the drooling class.

You apparently don’t understand or acknowledge the nature of man as God sees it. Let’s consider something below from Romans chapter 3. Theft is only a symptom of the actual disease – man’s sinful nature.
10-18: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Destruction and misery are in their ways:
And the way of peace have they not known:
There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Your rambling dissertation on an obfuscation of what reason could be, have very little to what it is. Your definition requires others to accept your definition of terms, which cannot be universal any more than a single definition of what reason might be is. What is reasonable to one person, is not necessarily reasonable to another.

I once used the statistic that there have been 1500 acid attacks in Britain since, I think, 2011. Someone responded that it is probably 300 due to something or other.
I asked, do you know what a person’s face often looks like after an acid attack? I don’t recall the answer, if any…

The NFL will go on as long as morons keep subsidizing them through jersey sales & ticket sales. And many cities have a waiting list to work through before the owners will really suffer.
The police officers really should refuse to work the games providing security, since they, along with veterans are being disrespected.
If a Muslim terrorist attack were to occur at a football game, I’m not sure I’d feel any sympathy toward the victims.

I’m sure that I won’t.
Big sports events like the Super Bowl must be the dream of every ISIS cell in country. Even if I went to a big football game I’d be too nervous to enjoy it.
I keep wondering exactly what form the next big attack comes in. But whatever form, it’s coming. The Islamic jihad threat is not being taken seriously enough, and that alone is amazing and disheartening to me.

So, the NFL hates this country and those who’ve served. Here’s an idea. The next game where 1 or more players ‘take a knee’ the fans at that game will then stand and turn their backs on the players and the field for the duration of the game and remain silent. No cheers, nothing. If that happened for just one game, how long would it take the bullsh*t NFL to reconsider it’s ways.

Even easier is Trump with a stroke of a pen through the FCC can bust up the cable monopoly and unbundle channels – allowing Americans freedom to choose which provider and channels they wish to pay for. Providers like ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, A&E, Bravo, etc etc etc will have to produce valued content aimed at attracting subscribers in order to survive.

It’s NOT an NFL problem – IT’S A NEGRO PROBLEM!!
The left got you twisted around their little fingers and have learned well from Lincoln and the civil war. If Negroes could almost bring a country down then, imagine now, because they had over a 150 years to SHOVE the FREED Negro up your ass unrelenting, till you cry WELCOME NEGRO!
Even Hollowood has learned to put in the obligatory Negro in every movie, every TV show, every Newscast. Rush falls for it too, with the obligatory Negro sidekick in so as not to appear racist by the racist themselves, and I suspect, to appease the left. So nice Rush…..
Why you scared little whites even BROKE YOUR OWN LAW and COMMITTED TREASON to put in a WORTHLESS NEGRO SODOMITE as a so-called “President” that sold you out EVERYWHERE and may mean your DOOM in a future war.
And still you bow to the Negro. A race that depends on you to feed and clothe them. A race that invents or builds nothing! A race that only YOU could free forever and DID back in the Civil War. Negroes should be GRATEFOOL, BUT THEY ARE NOT!!
Every Negro should bow to a white man and thank him for FREEING him and FEEDING him.

NFL commish Roger Goodell said Trump and other like minded individuals were showing an “unfortunate disrespect” for the league and its players. Tell me, what measure of respect do we owe their gesture of treason?
The Green Bay Packers team name is derived from the fact that player salaries were so low in the league’s formative years that many found a second job working in a meat packing plant.
