re: #158 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

This is all a business decision on the part of the NFL and its member teams. I refuse to look on it as anything else. They can pass a rule about standing at attention during the SSB if they think that is in their overall interest.

Right, if they believed that there was a real chance that a boycott over these protests would hurt the league, they would take action to do something about them. Contrary to the wingnuts, we shouldn’t assume that lack of action is an implicit endorsement of the protests. Goodell could decide tomorrow to walk out to the podium and declare every player and owner who has participated in the protests will be penalized. Though at this juncture that would likely be career suicide.
