I know they are just cleats but.....

let me get this right. The NFL fines and tells AB that he will ejected from the game if he wears cleats that are not standard equipment. Then, after he gives up, they come up with some Cleats for a Cause BS. I just do not understand the NFL. They completely ripped off AB's idea, and I am sure they will find a way to make some money off it. JOKE!!!!!

 

When is Goodell's term up??? I know the 32 owners opt him into office, but we as fans need to have a vote in this process. After all we are the ones making the owners and the NFL rich. Maybe we can do a voting process like the President and send in our votes or have voting places in each state. How do the owners select the commissioner? So Goodell was the best choice available? who was runner up? I smell a RAT!!! More has happened during Goodell's time than any other Commissioner I bet. Look at the Cheatriots for example...every year they try to gain an edge and mainly by circumventing the system or outright cheating!!! Because Robert Kraft and Billy "Hoodiechick"are not afraid of Roger Goodell and can careless. They just want to win Superbowls at any cost.

 

I wonder what the reason is...

 

<mod edit>

Thats a bit much.

 

The NFL can keep old Roger as long as they want but they don't get a dime of my money until he's gone. We've been waiting to buy new jerseys for a long time. But not until he's gone. I know they don't care but so what.

 

a very hypocritical move by the NFL for sure

 

They're not nor should they let the fans vote on the Commissioner. You have to be kidding?

 

Do you watch games?

 

They don't care nor do they notice that one fan isn't buying a jersey because they haven't yet fired Goodell. Besides, they make money off of you when you watch games on TV

 

I just don't understand why he can't obey the rules on the field and do whatever he wants off. He has a Snapchat and social media to show-off and do whatever he wants.

 

I respectfully disagree. If people are not watching, those contracts are not as big. My point was if you're going to make a stand then go all the way and tune out. They're still getting his money through advertisements.

 

Yes...unfortunately I am kidding and a bit of sarcasm as well.

 

Lmbo.... You are so right. Just like breast cancer awareness

 

I will never donate to the Komen foundation. The ratio of donations that goes to "operations" is ridiculous and a shame. It's more of a business. Plenty of cancer foundations to donate to. Or M.S. or M.D. or childrens charities, etc....

 

No wonder the Panthers didn't start Newton. He looks like a Clown out there with Lime green cleats on one foot and fluorescent orange ones on the other.

 

1 guy tuning out no, but a guy saying he's not buying a jersey to boycott Goodell yet still watches the games seems a bit silly. The NFL by way of the networks is still getting his money through advertisements.

 

March of 2019.


You will deal with him until then; all of us included.


Those mythical and cataclysmic voting suggestions aside, as for this whole "#MyCauseMyCleats" initiative, if players are permitted to use cleats as a ways of communicating with a wide array of people who are interested in supporting various causes, then face markings, personal tattoos or other specialized equipment akin to what Cameron Heyward showed to honor his father showed also be considered to expand said initiative. Now, equipment wise, no jerseys or helmets, but something like gloves or socks and set a limit based on the number of causes or choose one cause and elect to wear a set number of items.




If that does not happen, then the NFL competition committee really does not know how to fabricate it's own rules and instead uses such initiatives to obstruct the general public's view of how asinine some of these dress code policies are.


Again, I am all for supporting causes like various forms of Cancer, Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Alopecia, etc., etc. so long as the cause is beneficial towards not just that player or community but to many. Personal vendetta's (many political so I cannot give you any but take Colin Kaepernick's actions thus far) should be the messages the NFL should censor as opposed to positive ones.

 

My point is that the guy is a hypocrite. Won't buy merchandise, but still supports by watching.

 

Sounds good brother.
