Roger Goodell Says the NFL Was Wrong
 
Are the recent weeks of protest making a difference? Roger Goodell has now apologized and said the league was "wrong for not listening" to players who knelt during the national anthem in protest of police brutality" and in his address, he encouraged all
athletes to speak out and peacefully protest.

Although Goodell did not directly apologize to Colin Kaeperick who was previously ostracized for kneeling, Goodell's statement is significant as the focus of the NFL seems to be moving toward social justice and policing issues.

Once the games resume, it will be interesting to note which players and how many of them will be kneeling. If there is a significant number, will there be less people watching their favorite teams? Apparently, the league doesn't think so or doesn't care very much.

I quit watching pro football 20 years ago. Could care less what NFL does.

I'll save $200 by not my renewing my NFL Sunday Ticket with Directv for the tenth year in a row. In which case, good-bye Directv. I'll have Sundays free to do other things!!

Besides a jail-break Firestick, which is illegal, what other ways besides NFL Sunday Ticket can you watch all 13 games every Sunday?

Cannot wait for the season to start!

If NFL players start kneeling again I will do the same as I did 2 years ago.....turn it off.

Roger is just playing the political card....he doesn't really give a damn about anything but his own personal power and his salary

When he didn't show up in Foxboro for the opening game the following year, like he always had the year after the Patriots won the Super Bowl that said it all

IMHO, he's nothing but a power drunk jerk...that is allowed to stay in his job because he sucks up to the owners and they don't really care what he does, because they are making a ton of $$$$ anyway you slice it

Let the ones he refuse to stand for our national anthem stay in the locker room.

No interest in players opinions on anything other than the game they play.

There’s nothing illegal about “jail-breaking” a Firestick. Please cite your source where you claim it is.

Roger Goodell lost 100% of all respect a long time ago, at least with anyone who can differentiate clear and obvious right from wrong. After the way he fabricated deflate gate, in his efforts of defamation of the character of Tom Brady, nothing Goodell does holds any legitimacy whatsoever.

Since AT&T bought Directv four years ago, it has lost 5 millions subscribers. Service is still good, I guess that Special Sports Bundle is a computer type deal. With NFL Sunday I also have the computer access included, although I never use it. I let my neighbor watch his Eagles games on his computer and then he got a Fire Stick at Market of Marion and he gets the local Philly channels.

Hacking or Jailbreaking Amazon Fire Stick is not illegal. No one is going to sue you for jailbreaking your Fire Stick. Installing Kodi or any other such FireStick apps are also not illegal. However, if you access copyright content (HBO, NFL Network, Golf Channel, Local channels in another market, etc) without paying a copyright or access fee is illegal, and then you can be very much in trouble with your government or your ISP. It is very much like torrenting. While torrents are itself not illegal but copyrighted content is.
