Brainstorming future distractions from concussions, Gottfried’s character proposes prayer rugs in the endzones for Muslim players who score touchdowns, banking on the public outrage to be so great it will take even more attention away from concussions.

If not for patriotic reasons, then owners should not be so stupid that they can’t see the looming big picture commercial disaster that there was just a hint of last year. It can and will get a lot worse if owners continue to allow a handful of morons, kneeling like $10 hookers, to manage their teams, their business and their fortunes.

To be kind, 2017 has not been a great year for NFL team owners. They have allowed their spoiled-rotten millionaire crybaby players to lead them around by their noses, showing their stupidity and ingratitude, and it has cost the league dearly, especially its team owners who still must honor the contracts of the crybabies.

The NFL has canceled its last Sunday Night Football game of the season. Some are blaming the cancellation on the fact that the game falls on New Year’s Eve, which would be erroneous, as New Year’s Eve has fallen on a Sunday many times in the past, but this is the first time the NFL has canceled a Sunday Night Football game.

How the owners recover from this I have no idea, considering the massive salaries they are committed to paying the very players who screwed them all with their childish bullshit. I am not a bankruptcy attorney, but I forsee owners filing bankruptcy just to ditch the exorbitant contracts and start fresh. I would!

The boycott continues to grow. As owners of NFL teams contemplate swan dives from atop their respective jumbotrons, fans continue to demonstrate their unwillingness to spend huge amounts of money in support of a league of spoiled crybabies.

“If they don’t like it, don’t come to the game,” Vernon told reporters in reference to fans’ distaste for his kneeling during the national anthem like a $10 hooker, which he insists he will continue to do and no one is going to stop him.

The NFL is proposing a $100 million fix that will satisfy the protesting players enough to convince them to stand for the national anthem. While many players are willing to consider the offer, several others are resisting, which means that the NFL’s grand idea is dead in the water.

The league may never recover from this. At best, it will likely mean renegotiation of player contracts, which will shrink drastically due to the boycott. There should be an award for such off-the-charts stupidity.

For you liberals who find it so easy to disrespect America and can’t understand why the rest of us stand in respect for the national anthem, please study the following tweet carefully…. 

To Colin Kaepernick and his assclown pals who believe it is your RIGHT to openly disrespect our flag, our country, our troops, our veterans, law enforcement, and your former fans: Stick your right up your ass! Your left, too. You are not heroes.

They used to also attend NFL football games or watch them on TV, but not so much anymore since crybaby millionaire players showed their asses and their disrespect for America, its flag, the REAL heroes in uniform in the armed forces, veterans, law enforcement, and most of all, their fans!

GQ magazine even named Kaepernick as their Citizen of the Year. Really? For spitting in America’s face or for costing the NFL many billions of dollars and possibly destroying the league forever?

The average NFL team has a payroll of $130 million for players alone. You have to sell a lot of Papa John’s pizza to earn that. Oh, that’s right, Papa John’s dropped their NFL advertising. 

I think it is going to be a tough road back for the owners and the league, if they are able to recover at all. And, if they are able to recover, the league is going to look much different. Player salaries are going to be much less.

The fans want what they want and are waiting to see if you are ever going to be smart enough to recognize it or if you are going to be stupid until you have lost any hope of salvaging your golden goose. You see, your former fans really don’t care as much as you think.

I wonder what it is like to own an asset that was worth $1 billion a few months ago that is now worth $200 million, and you owe $400 million on it, and you probably can’t sell it because operating expenses are $100 million while revenue is $50 million? OUCH!

“I have only one personal thought, really. And I am so disappointed. And I used to love, during the fall and winter, to watch the NFL on Sunday…. So the only thing I can do in my little way is not to preach. I will never watch another NFL game.”

You can call someone an “ugly, fat pig,” then claim you meant no disrespect, but that isn’t going to keep the comment from being disrespectful.

I might add that a typical business profit margin is 15%, sometimes less, meaning this 19% reduction in revenue likely represents a net loss for the league and team owners, as they are locked into their contracts with the players, who will be expecting every dime contracted.

“Saturation” is not your problem. THIS is your problem…. you have multimillionaire assclowns masquerading as professional football players spitting in the faces of the patriots who used to watch NFL games on your network, dropping to their knees like $5 hookers as part of a social justice crusade.

Obviously longing for the good old days when every seat around them was taken and like-minded rabid fans literally made the Baltimore Ravens’ stadium rock with the noise and commotion of impassioned fandom, this couple sent a direct message to the crybabies.

Liberal weenie reporters in the sports arena are no less obnoxious than liberal weenie reporters in the political arena. Any opportunity they can get to ask a question that might paint the answerer as a racist or bigot, they are going to take it, regardless of whether the question has been answered already. 

My question is who the hell is doing PR for the NFL. Any moron could have told you them that in this nationalist/populist era disrespecting our flag, our troops, and our country was going to backfire in their faces of those who stand to lose the most, the league and the team owners.

Not so fast, Kimosabe. You can’t spit in your girlfriend’s face in public, then say, “I’m sorry. Let’s go eat lunch.” Nice try, but as for this football fan, I will stick to college ball. You have lost me forever.

Owners are fully within their rights to not hire Kaepernick. In terms of revenue, he is a loser for any team that hires him, which makes it perfectly legal for any owner to give him a pass (pun intended).

Ted Nugent summed up the National Embarrassment Football League as well as anyone I have seen comment on the shameful scumbag millionaires.

I know you don’t give a doodly squat about America or our fans, and frankly, neither do I, but this is about something much more important…. MONEY! Let’s face it, we need their stinking carcasses and especially their wallets in our stadiums.

Will your newfound patriotism work? Not with me. I’m finished with the NFL. You can’t rape a woman, then tell her how much you respect her as you are walking out the door.

The former governor of Indiana and his wife, wearing a Manning No. 18 jersey, left Lucas Oil Stadium after the national anthem, following instructions from President Trump after a number of San Francisco 49ers players, as they usually do, took a knee during the anthem.
