You know what, I'm done with the NFL for good!

[Crowman2009]

Apparently the NFL has allowed teams to have a moment of silence for this bigoted POS named Charlie KKKirk. Yet silent protests against the police are bad?!

1. Evil permeates our society now.

[LymphocyteLover]

3. it's become normal, routine and whitewashed... the banality of evil

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes it is the norm now.

Decent good people are suckers and losers I guess.

[Tetrachloride]

2. i began to give up after Lombardi

[a kennedy]

5. Four teams didn't pay tribute....Lions, Bengals, Ravens, and Colts!!!

[markodochartaigh]

9. What a coincidence! Those are my favorite teams!

Actually, I've never in my life watched a single football game. But at least now I have favorite teams!

[Crowman2009]

13. Okay, that's a relief about the Lions!

My favorite team since forever since I'm originally from Michigan.

[Xavier Breath]

34. Yes, I'm glad to hear neither they nor the Bengals succumbed to the mass insanity currently gripping this nation.

15. Neither did Pittsburgh or Minnesota

Minnesota did have a moment of silence for victims of gun violence specifically mentioning the recent school shooting there.

30. Are you sure about the Stillers...

because I thought I saw a clip that they did in fact do so?

[Wounded Bear]

6. I survived the Kaepernick knee bullshit, I'll survive this...nt

[chouchou]

7. One of the worst human beings in the country and we're suppose to honor him?

I'd rather take a box of cockroaches out to dinner and a movie. Would make more sense...

[marble falls]

8. I was done when they allowed Art Modell to leave the new freaking stadium in Cleveland and sneak to Baltimore ...

... in the dead of night on a chartered Greyhound.

As much as I disliked Tom Landry, the way Jerry Jones' fired him on TV during an interview contributed.

When I need some football I go see a local high school Friday night game, or find a small college game on line somewhere.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. I believe he fired Tex Schram on live tv and fired Tom Landry in private.

I could be wrong. Jimmy Johnson looks better with the passage of time. I would be sad to learn if he's MAGA.

[newdeal2]

10. Half the county has gone mad

I’m going to hope that this particular incident passes without much damage.

[RockRaven]

11. NFL ownership and management are some of the worst human beings in the country.

This has been the case for decades. There is so much money in it, it is moths to the flame.

[Aristus]

12. Shit. I stopped watching NFL games decades ago.

What I found endlessly fascinating as a child became boring and faintly ridiculous as an adult.

[harumph]

19. I grew out of it around age 13.

My sister-in-law and her husband are football fanatics. Bores the shit outa me. IMO there's probably weird authoritarian leanings in
crazed football fans. The whole CTE thing also makes me think it's a stupid sport.

[ImNotGod]

14. I don't watch lotto ball. nt

[LeftInTX]

16. "It's Chuck Schumer's and Hakeem Jeffries' fault!!!"

[Paladin]

17. Can you imagine how those tributes affected the black NFL players, today?

Charlie Kirk never made any meaningful attempts to disguise his overt racism---any more than he tried to conceal his hatred of gays or women's rights or government workers.

Absolutely disgusting displays by pro football powers-that-be. Shameful.

[Crowman2009]

20. It's right up there with the then Washington Redskins forcing their black players in the early 60's to sing Dixieland.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

21. So he hated government workers, too?

I didn’t know that until now. But that’s OK since I hated his grifting, sexist, homophobic and racist self also.

[Paladin]

25. He made ugly comments about Jews, as well. (nt)

[Captain Zero]

27. I wonder if his USPS carrier knew.

Probably not

[miyazaki]

18. Referees catching touchdown passes from Mahomes now?

-or is it...

[fargone]

23. I didn't really notice anything

I watch NFL games but I don't watch the pregame prattle so it appears I would have missed them.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. This made me smile

26. Racist insurrectionists don't deserve a moment of silence at NFL games.

[Captain Zero]

29. Did the other school shooting victims last week

Get a moment of silence.

Seems like every week now those teams should honor the school shooting victims of the previous week. St. Charlie was a school shooting victim. No one deserves to be shot on a school campus.

[Funtatlaguy]

31. Mahomes is now dead to me.

Big Chiefs fan (now a former one) after learning that Mahomes and his Trumper wife advocated for a Kirk silence.
Too much for me. Too much idiocy and bigotry loving.
I’m done.
Fuck you Patrick.

[Boomerproud]

33. I'm done too, especially with the owner and kicker.

I'll always be on Team Kelce but I'll ignore the rest.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. There was a moment of silence at the Houston Texan game last nigth

I am glad that I did not go to this game

35. For a radio talk show host. Incredible.

This country has passed up what we saw in the movie Idiocracy.
America is a laughing stock.
