Mr. Goodell,
For a very long time until recently, my family and I have enjoyed the NFL.
We, like many other fans and their families, have found your support of Colin Kaepernick’s political views disturbing. Kaepernick is welcome to be “brave” and bash America, but don’t do it on my time.
I TUNE IN TO WATCH FOOTBALL NOT POLITICAL OPINION!
We don’t care what you think about how great he is; we don’t care how honorable you think he is ! We don’t tune in to a football game to be told/shown how rotten you think our country is.
This is not why we tune in! We tune in for one thing ONLY; a football game!
Except for the Super Bowl, our national anthem isn’t normally televised. Now, because of your anti-America actions, every time one of your players takes a knee or raises a fist, by God you are making sure we’re gonna see it!
Whether it’s a Kaepernick phony display, slogans on fields and jerseys, or you denying others the same “right”, Americans are voting with their feet. We will continue to not patronize your agenda driven broadcast and revel in the NFL’s bottom line decimation.
Your anti-America denial of other requests that do not fit into your agenda is very visible to us all, like your refutation to honor the 5 officers murdered in Houston.
We Patriots revel that the NFL, under your leadership is hemorrhaging money, with viewership down 14% and continuing to plummet.
AMERICA IS VOTING WITH IT’S FEET!!!
