Roger Goodell sends letter to NFL teams

[Mister Agenda]

NFL is a private organization and they can implement thus rule if they want. But I'm incredibly disappointed the caved to they caved to Trump, who is clearly overstepping his boundaries.

Fortunately the players also have a private organization: their union.

Maybe black people should start wearing flags.

Which actually would be a formal desecration according to the rules about how the American flag is supposed to be treated. Of course, Kid Rock can wear a flag with a hole in it as a poncho and conservatives are fine with it.

When conservatives stop being hypocrites, pigs will fly.

The flag is one of the conservatards' favorite props.....right along with the fucking bible.

The glaring irony is that these same assholes would rightfully point to the hyper nationalism mixed with religion that Saudi Arabia and Iran's leadership pull. 

Bibi too, I hate that fucker, he is just a Jewish Trump. 

The problem isn't that most humans are bad or evil, most are not. But, power does horrible things to governments and all you have to do to divide and conquer is sell bullshit utopias. 

The concepts that brought more openness to the west were not sale of blind loyalty, but checks on power, and forced ritual is not the sign of of an open society.

Pretty sure pigs will have flown long before then.

True, but an awful lot of them are really dumb.

Unfortunately evolution isn't about winning through objectivity, but simply getting to the point of reproduction. And unfortunately most humans buy what their parent's sell them at birth long before they can formulate critical thinking skills.

I wouldn't say all 7 billion humans are dumb, but I would say far too many cant see the long term picture in terms of nature and evolution.

Humans are a social species, and we lean to protecting that which we are familiar with and local. I don't think we can ever get rid of that evolutionary drive completely, but technology does make it harder for cons and superstitions to be sold. 

If there is one good thing about our species, is we do learn, we have that capability, but the trick is to not let the greedy or gullible turn back the clock.

Not sure what to make of this, looks more positive though: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-n...he-anthem/

The agenda will be a continuation of how to make progress on the important social issues that players have vocalized.

One way might be getting the fucking cops off the field during the games.
