Roger Goodell NFL Hypocrisy....

Roger Goodell has a problem.
His problem is everyone hates him.
That didn't used to be a problem because the NFL used to break viewership records.
19 of the top 20 all time watched broadcasts are NFL games (superbowls).
eye balls = $$$$$$ and the Billionaire owners of the NFL were thrilled with Roger........even if everyone hates him.
But then players started beating up their women. Then Players started disrespecting the American flag and suddenly Roger had a big problem.
Last year viewership started to slip. It was blamed on the election. People would rather watch Trump Humiliate Hillary than watch Kapernick disrespect the flag.
The problem the NFL has is its fans are blue collar. Beer, brats, and patriotism is the foundation of the NFL.
Blue collar workers don't earn their money, to hand it to Billionaires, so they can watch people disrespect the flag. That does not work. Blue Collar workers appreciate that that flag represents people who died for their freedom at places like Okinawa, and Omaha Beach and they don't take kindly to it being disrespected.
This year NFL ratings are still down. Now they blame it on hurricanes and earthquakes and anything else you can blame it on.
But Roger Goodell is trying to sign a new contract and certain owners (Jerry Jones) are getting in the way of the Hated Goodell and his next big payday.
Roger Goodell agrees with President Trump 1000%. The NFL has practiced exactly what Trump suggested. If you kneel during the anthem you are out of a job. Colin Kapernick is living proof the NFL agrees with this premise completely. 32 teams could have signed Kapernick and all 32 said no thank you. He remains unemployed to this day.
But since everything Trump says is toxic Goodell feels the need to put distance between him and the NFL.
Good luck with your hypocrisy Roger.
