IT GOT ME WHEN ALFRED JENKINS OF THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES SAID THAT NFL PLAYERS DON'T LIKE TO BE TOLD WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO!
NFL "Refresher" NFL History...history not often reported or leaked to the ticket holders. I hope this helps you; it opened my eyes, to better understand when and why the public’s respect for the NFL organization started to crumble....
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 in the line of duty.
2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.
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...
BUT they will allow demonstrations 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. That is who and what the NFL now has shown itself to be.
Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.

Ah, Yes,! Make the Connections, you will see ^^'Who (Or WHAT) was in Charge. The Annunaki? Or does the NfL hatr () make the Connections !!
Ain't that just T F B !
boss tells u what to do regardless where u work.
Until these morons are actually put in a situation where they have to experience such loss of life the NFL will steadily kill itself off. I'm not talking about all the ghetto killing over "my drug turf" but men and women fighting people who want to ruin your way of life and take your freedom. Google 10-23-83 then talk to me as to why the NFL and all you liberal back biting sissies can shove it
Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.
Honor our military and our flag for the above reason! Amen!
I use to like watching the game but don't care to know anything about it now. If it fails who cares they brought it on themselves
More and more points of the double standard that goes on. It has become so common place for the tail to wag the dog; whatever happened to majority rule?
There are so many other sports to take us away from everyday politics, war, strife, and crime stats. I'll just watch them!
And Roger Goodell presided over this entire mess. The owners are insane for having renewed his contract in a practically unprecedented lucrative deal. He will earn a place in the business textbooks for allowing and sanctioning the actions responsible for destroying the NFL, one of the most valuable sports leagues in the world.
You absolutely proved Jenkins' point about the NFL telling players what they can and can not do.
7:50 most have experienced the loss of life. Remember they are thugs. Also remember black lives do NOT matter to blacks UNLESS they can make the death racial. If they claim otherwise their own action prove they are getting to that lying they do all the time.
Have had nothing to do with NFL since the kneeling controversy started and will not go back. My money will not support disrespectful bullies.
If you love America please do not support the NFL. I would love to see the NFL go totally broke. I will not buy any products that advertise on NFL games. I will tune long enough to see who supports those thugs and put them on my do not buy list. F them.
Professional sports players are overpaid, under educated and lack respect for anything not racial.....then they try to make it about race!! Simply quit watching, I did!!!
So what's new with workplace regs -- those overpaid whiners should get over it or get out of pro football.
We have almost completely stop watching tv at my house. Everything on it is a bunch of BS from the stupid athletes to the lying news. If we do watch anything it has been recorded on the dvr.
