That so weird for Goodell to say that. Apparently, for some inexplicable reason, the NFL has decided to follow the ESPN model of suicide by self-immolation. Is he so far out of touch that he doesn't realize who is customers are?
Latte sucking Liberals don't watch football. In fact, the opposite. They protest it.
So, who? Who is he trying to appeal to? The players are stupid punks. They are doing it to have fun flipping-off America. And Kaepernick in particular is doing it specifically to flip-off America and his parents (both the ones he knows, and his actual parents). He is just a pissed off abandoned child. And I 'get that' in a way. I understand children and punks acting out. That's what they do. But Goodell is supposed to be the parent.
Trump supporters and 'steak and potatoes' American patriots are the people watching football. So as this thing escalates, who does he expect to be his remaining viewers, a few pissed off angry Black people, and maybe a couple of Liberals who hate America?
I'm talking about the customer base. He's already dealing with a shrinking customer base, and he throws gas on the fire by supporting the very people who are shrinking it. What is he doing?
I can't figure out what is going on with sports these days? Mixing sports with politics, race, anti-America/anti-Police agendas, is insane. It alienates over 90% of people who watch football. Americans who support those things are his primary customer base.
Oh well, sitting out a year won't kill me. Maybe sports will get back to sports in year or two. I don't know. I'm just confused by this whole thing.
