NFL to close offices for Juneteenth, making it an official league holiday
By Lauren Vella - 06/12/20 02:20 PM EDT

"This year, as we work together as a family and in our communities to combat the racial injustices that remain deeply rooted into the fabric of our society, the NFL will observe Juneteenth on Friday, June 19th as a recognized holiday and our league offices will be closed," Goodell said in an internal memo.

"It is a day to reflect on our past, but more importantly, consider how each one of us can continue to show up and band together to work toward a better future," he continued.


The news comes amid ongoing protests demonstrating against racial inequality and the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.

Since Floyd's death, current and former NFL players have spoken out against his killing and police brutality.

Goodell keeps groveling to the woke crowd, but it isn't really doing him any good.  I understand he was vilified by Revrund Al for not forcing one of the teams to give Kaepernick a QB job. 

And the same will happen to the rest of the grovelers who pander to the terrorists and their allies.  Doesn't matter how much they beg for forgiveness, they will never be forgiven.  White privilege and all that.

Jay-Z will be the next NFL Commissioner, he practically is, now.

What is this NFL thing I keep hearing about lately?
When I was a kid, the NFL was a football franchise.
From what I can tell, it has become some kind of a Black Civil Rights activist group.
NFL/BLM are quickly becoming the same thing.
Doesn't matter to me. I stopped watching football a couple of years ago.
