The reality of what just occurred between Goodell and Trump has been lost on many, so let it be explained briefly.
The commissioner of a failing American sports entertainment league just scolded the President of the United States. Goodell, and his completely unnecessary league have shown that they believe they are above the authority of the most powerful man in the world.
We have taken a children’s game, given those kids a free education just so that the NFL can get a good look at their skills, and then paid them an exorbitant amount of money to recreate that game on television, often at the expense of the American taxpayers who have been duped into countless stadium and infrastructure deals as teams relocate for the sake of making more money. Then, the commissioner of this nonsensical “professional” entity pretends he is more important than President Trump in a rant akin to snatching up the Commander in Chief by the ear and embarrassing him in front of the entire nation.
This behavior from anyone, let alone the guy in charge of overpriced man-children playing a game, is wildly unacceptable.
Include the owners of NFL teams that joined with their players as a rebuke to Trump's call for patriotism.
Remember that every time and for every player who takes a knee sits on a bench and otherwise show disrespect for our flag is insulting the men and women who gave treasure and blood to defend these adolescent gesture. what an insult to our military
