Roger Goodell,

You are going to end up getting the same treatment Target got if you keep on allowing politics to intermingle with football. We turn on sports to help us forget about life sometimes, or maybe most of the time. When we get slapped in the face by a political statement by one Colin Kaepernick plus other players from other teams jumping on the bandwagon it isn't cool! You pander to Black Lives Matter yet won't let the Dallas Cowboys honor the Dallas Police Department fallen? Seriously? On the current track you're on you're going to end up losing more than half of your viewership because people are eventually going to be pissed off they won't be tuning in. You will also have more and more people stop buying NFL merchandise. If I had my way you'd feel it by having more than half the stadiums empty. I realize that won't happen because fans will be fans and honestly we love our football. How dare you allow this to be ruined more and more, season after season. It's fine if you want to be all in for Hillary, Goodell, but get the politics out of the NFL. Nip this in the bud with Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter before you lose control of your own football league.

NO politics in the NFL. THE NATIONAL ANTHEM represents AMERICA, the HOME to these protesters and THEY need to take their demands, protests or whatever OFF the field while they are on the PUBLIC DIME. 14 Billion AMERICAN tax dollars went to support the NFL in 2016! That means they work for US. Stand up or sit out the game entirely...it's simple.

Please no more politics in NFL based on a lie. It only isolates the majority of your fans. If you concede to the players that think that they are not as privilege as the white blue collar worker in America that pays for their salaries, the NFL will perish.

Every person I know feels the same way! Keep this liberal agenda out of football and sports all together. Keep football the way it has always been- patriotic and God fearing

NFL players are free to protest or express their politics in other venues. Sports should be politics free.

I like this idea! But if it fails how about the owners remove Roger from the NFL?

I will not claim to know what it's like to be attacked for my color, since I'm a white man. Nevertheless, I have experienced negative treatment from certain sectors of our Country. The reasons being, I'm the proud husband of a beautiful & intelligent black women. I've also been cursed while wearing the uniform of our great Country & have also retired from Federal law enforcement after 30yrs. I fought for the the 1st amendment right, and would never deny any citizens the use of it. I'm Not in favor of the platform Kap & others decided to use. Where was he when he was a starter? Racism & Police brutality surely existed. Also other athletes are using it for their personal issues. ( I.E. M.Rapinoe) USWNST, Gay issues! I'D like to ask the NFL, why is this Not a workplace disruption? Most people would be Fired from their jobs doing this. I also agree there needs to be equal treatment from the NFL when it comes to the Dallas P.D. stickers on Helmets that was Denied by Goodell. That was Thanking/Remembering 911 & 1st responders. Imo, these actions are the same that devide our Country, more than it brings us together . Our world will never rid itself of all hate but I'm hopeful we can find more constructive ways to bring people that are different closer together. Mr. Goddell & NFL PA this is NOT the Way!

Stop this stupidity and play football. They can protest all they want to on their own time.
