No more kneeling in disrespect of the American Flag to protest during games.
They will stand while they are at work receiving their pay. They can however, hold hands, lock their arms together, or salute while the National Anthem is being played. But no more disrespectful activity.
They can excercise their right of freedom of speech on their own time, but not during games.
Congress will be monitoring activity on and off the field as far as things like domestic violence, drug use, public brawls, etcetera.
After reviewing the Rice incident where his girlfriend was knocked out in that elevator, the NFL will toe the line as far as activities where their players are concerned.
It is about time someone pulled in the reigns in on these idiots who are setting disgusting examples for our kids!
This is America Damn it! Love It Or Leave It!
Oh, before I forget~~ GO TRUMP~~♡●♡

In the end it is not Congress, but the NFL's customers who will decide what these useful idiots will do. When viewership drops and stands are empty the Democratic Party's pawns in the NFL will take a pay cut. If the owners do not have the money to bid up those rich contracts those players will have to live on less.

Good point, but Congress will Evaluate their activities every 5 years to determine the renewal of thier license under the ANTI-TRUST LAW.
Any derogatory activity will affect that process.

Thank God we got that cleared up. Now, we can get back to taking care of some other shit - like the US citizens dying in Porto Rico.

You know I saw that on the news this morning. They showed people sitting on their porches waiting for supplies, while hundreds of shipping containers were setting on the docks with some people stocking up on what they needed.
I guarantee you I would be right there with them before I wait on someone else to bring it to me.

Puerto Rico is in hurricane alley, why didn't they have an elevated shelters for their trucks scattered about the island to prevent damage, they have been dealing with these storms all their life and just like Louisiana they play and spend while times are good but when disaster strikes they start blaming the mainland USA. Our family work friends know those islanders and they say other administrations took longer than Our current POTUS for FEMA to get relief supplies. I think their leadership hasn't enough foresight to prepare for these emergencies.

Football will never be the same for thousands of us. It is sad but the NFL “got too big for it’s britches.”

As for the NFL, the NBA has come out and nipping the problem in the bud, we'll see, but for now I'm still boycotting the games. This is what happens when the majority doesn't move fast enough to let these people know that we are in charge not them or the media. Sorry for the Puerto Rico post forgot what the post was about.

Try to keep up dude.
I am not watching either. It's down right boring anymore.Sep 30, 2017 10:38:42 #
It was reported that on Puerto Rico, 16 people were killed by the hurricane, but since then nobody has died. So where are you getting information that people in Puerto Rico are dying, how many have died after the hurricane passed, and exactly what has killed them? Or is this just more liberal propaganda that the Democrats are using to try to disparage and denigrate President Trump? There are tons of supplies backed up on the docks, but the Puerto Rican people are not helping to get it rationed out to the Puerto Rican people who need it. During hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the American people helped themselves, with assistance from FEMA, but in Puerto Rico it seems that only FEMA and the US military are the only ones working to help the Puerto Rican people. Where are all their volunteers that are needed to get all these relief rations to the Puerto Rican people who need them, and who better to know who they are and what they need than the Puerto Rican people themselves, and why aren't they attempting to help?

He's just spewing his typical lies. Trying to make it look like Trump's fault. Actually I think it once again shows the inefficiency of government.
Send tons of perishable food stuffs without enough transport vehicles or drivers, but somehow that'S Trumps fault.

Woohooo weasel, right there with you!! I hadn't heard of this but can tell you it is about damn time!!!
They were probably worried about their special exemption status.. if so that's a first where exemption has actually worked.
Football is football not the Senate or Congress and it should stay that way!! They want to play politics then lift the exemption and make em pay like all other Corporate businesses do!!
I'm just glad they were told during game time they play ball!!
I also think the NFL was worried about loosing fans and their money!! They should be too!
Go Trump is riiiggghhhtt love our country or get out !! Amennnnnn

I think the people did.. we hit them in their piocket and they listen.. unfortunately money is all any corporation plays to..
Either way they know the score, they lose, we win.. Not that it's a win really..
I can not phathom people that would attack our flag and national Athem and am completely appalled by it ... As well as any who " profess to be citizens" and then attack the very core of it!! Sorry, but those that do, did and will lose my respect...
Plenty ways to vent but using a national past time isn't right and while they surely do have the right of speech they do not in my book have the right to claim being a citizen of this great nation and do as they did!! And that hogwash they have a right to express themselves is absolutely right .. They nor anyone else living in this country, home of the free, with many a soldier defending our country have the right to shun her and or not stand FOR her!! Feel that way then by all means don't let the door hit your derrière on the way out!!!
This take a knee garbage was sponsored by others just to keep divide, hate and bigotry going!! It's a damn shame when people can't see how they are being manipulated and just jump on the bandwagon!!
Ok, rant off now!! Great news, thank you for posting it.
