Goodell: NFL has already done enough to honor veterans
The Daily Wire reports that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell explained that the reason the NFL rejected the AMVET ad entitled #Please Stand that we talked about last week, because they’ve done enough to honor vets.
“It’s not an indication of any lack of support,” Goodell told media after being questioned about the AMVETS ad. “We have a VFW ad that talks about, celebrates the important work that our veterans are doing, and of course you all know we’re going to have 15 Medal of Honor winners that we’re bringing together at the Super Bowl, which I think is the largest number of Medal of Honor winners ever brought together at any event other than their annual national gathering.”
I don’t know what a “Medal of Honor winner” is, but apparently their presence is good enough to make up for the sad spectacle that the NFL has become in the last year or so.

I have concerns about the location of the SB. Minnesota has some serious issues at moment and a ton of things the media is hiding from the public which includes a Christian prep school literally exploding (from within), bridges exploding, trains being derailed and a considerable amount of violent crime issues which have risen exponentially in the past two decades.
My point is, I really do not like knowing fifteen of our brothers will be there this year as I just have a bad feeling. I hope I am wrong and likely am but, I don’t know, I rarely have got these through my life and always trust them.
The ad “celebrates the important work that our veterans are doing.”
Note to Goodell: Yes, many military Veterans do good works after service, but the idea here is that Veterans contributed to the country through service. Celebrate that.
Gawd, I can’t stand that weasel.
Hey, Goodell, FOAD!
The notion that Americans–or foreign nationals residing or visiting here–need to be told to get off their asses and stand during the playing of the National Anthem and the flying of Old Glory just pisses me off no end. Sit. Kneel. Talk. Just put all of the talkers, kneelers, and sitters on TV for all the world to ridicule.
Among the many things I enjoy about Rodeo: if you don’t stand for the National Anthem, it better be because you are physically unable to do so. If you are, a crowd of people will, if asked, pick you up from your seat and assist you, or help you to the front row so you can see and be seen doing what you can. If you ain’t, that crowd of people will kick your ass.
Nice. Happened at a local high school football game two years ago. Kid refused to take off his hat–initially. He was assisted.
Indeed, had a few talkers with hats on at the Tomb of the Unknow…I was chaperoning my soccer players, I helped those two assclowns remove their hats and shut up….
Yep – Rodeo fans don’t have any delusions about life. You come off that horse or bull the wrong way, and you’re gonna be hurt or killed.
Provides one with a clear view of reality.
If they are physically able to do so but do not, they should be made physically unable to do so.
I’m sure plenty of rodeo attendees would make that happen.
NASCAR fans react very much the same way! We’re a happily deplorable crowd.
Very American of you. So much for Liberty, I guess. Put your hands on me and enjoy the extra holes your body develops.
Lighten up, Francis.
Hilarious.
I’m waiting for a call dealing with someone like you.
A cold war “vet”. Pick up truck plastered with “I served” stickers.
Committing battery.
Guess who’s going to jail, GI Joe?
Your type is an embarrassment to vets.
“Chesty”?
Or is it “Joe”?
Or is it actually Keith?
Where is “Chris33”?
Hey “Chesty”, where ya from, UC Berzerkely? The REAL “Chesty” was Chesty Puller and you’re not worth a squirt of his piss or that of any of us.
Right. This disrespect has been going on for years. Sad when you see an entire team of players and coaches and only one or two have their hand over their heart. The rest are talking, wearing hats, and/or have their hands in their pads.
Even saw one knuckle head player last week during the anthem combing and picking at his hair the whole time.
#FUCKtheNFL
Somebody else do it-I don’t want anything to do with ’em.
Meh, more like #FUCKtheNFLupTheAssSidewaysWithRadioactiveBarbedWire
Even IDC SARC wouldn’t bend it over and poke it in the ass.
THAT’S Sayin’ something.
DORK. THE. SQUEAKHOLE. NO. FUN. LEAGUE.
Medal of Honor winners? Winners, since when is the Medal of Honor in the same league as the blue ribbon at the county fair? Maybe I’m being picky, but it sure seems to me that those 15 guys Roger is talking about EARNED the Medal of Honor for something a whole lot more dangerous than defending a line on a football field. Goodell is a dink, we watch 1 football game in Chez Doc, here’s a hint – it don’t involve the overpaid babies in the NFL (if you guessed Army-Navy grab a stogie, if you guessed we’re a Go Navy, Beat Army family, grab two).
I hope to see pictures of empty seats at the Stupidbowl.
What you mean that getting a Medal of Honor isn’t like a game of football where you compete with other soldiers to win a prize.
Wow, I’m stunned.
Goodell is a freaking putz and doesn’t give two shits about the military. All he cares about is his salary and that’s about it.
Don’t forget his paid-for for life health care and private jet, Instinct.
I was once castigated by a retired Master Chief for posting about a “Medal of Honor winner” on my Facebook page once. I will never make that mistake ever again.
The proper term is Medal of Honor Recipient, and I will never forget that!
Someone should as leftist Goodell about the MOH “winners” that “won” it posthumously.
“Okay, 1st squad. See that machine gun nest? First one to destroy it wins the medal of honor. Ready? Set. Go!”
To be honest, I personally wouldn’t care at this point if they did a complete 180. I’m sick of their bullshit. Disrespecting the Flag was hardly the only problem, but it certainly was the last straw. Fuck Roger Goodell, fuck the NFL, and fuck their empty token gestures.
This. I have loved and watched football for decade and have not watched a single game this season/won’t. The disrespect and allowance of the PC narrative into anything equates to me not having anything to do with it. It disgusts me beyond measure and I hope the XFL truly does emerge.
From this day hence, the only football games that will be watched in my house will be Army-Navy and Boise State.
Army-Navy (GO ARMY!), and the Montana-Montana State Games (GO GRIZ) are the games I follow.
This is whole bunch of PC bullshit, as I have said before; the fact that none of the color guard goes over and buttstrokes some protesting sports entertainer in amazing.
If these guys want to protest; spend some of that money and put it to use for their cause. You might have to drive last year’s Ferrari…
GRRRRRRRR
I’m reminded of the opening scene in “The Replacements” where the pro players are going on strike, and one shitbag complains about how he deserves more money because private jets are expensive.
That’s a great movie, by the way, and fairly applicable in the current environment. And you have to chuckle when, after numerous references to his having lost the Sugar Bowl in college, Keanu Reeves says, “Jesus, didn’t anybody have anything better to do that day?”
Good movie.
I don’t remember the line about the jet, but I do remember the player complaining about how much insurance for a Ferrari was.
…That movie movie had a lot of good lines…
Ahem…Go Navy!
Roll Damn Tide.
Check out this Bama boy, seems like he has head on straigt due to perspective…

Seems like a good kid. Still not gonna watch anything NFL.
Couldn’t help but notice the false-flaggers being out in force in the comments section.
Yeah, man. I personally have no investment in the NFL anyways, Always been a college kind of guy. (Live in the South, and my home state has no NFL team.)
I just remember reading that article and thought it was a good one.
Fuck all of them overpaid crybabies! I won’t be watching their stupid game and I pray that nothing happens to our Medal of Honor “Winners”!
I think there are quite a few muzzies up in that neck of the woods!
Please forgive me, but the Medal of Honor is one medal I do not think that I would ever like to”win”. Thank you. I personally don’t know how I would act in such a situation as those Heroes who have been awarded our nation’s highest military honor.
I thought I read a quote from one of these Medal of Honor recipients about the medal being a reminder of the worst day of their life. I could be wrong…
GFY, Roger. You’re nothing but a class A chode.
DORK. THE. SQUEKHOLE. GOODELL.
DORK. THE. SQUEKHOLE.
You know though it’s not just in the NFL or other organizations I even see it in everyday life as a retired Soldier. Just last year during my daughter’s High School graduation they brought in a color guard to post the colors. When they started the post the colors I stood up and noticed that no one around me was. I actually stated out loud kind of in a loud voice as well doesn’t anyone stand for the flag anymore? Finally, people started to stand and put their hand over their heart. I guess that’s what you get when so few among our population actually serve as a percentage of our population. Maybe there is something to the fear that because of the way the United States is we are a separate warrior class from other citizens of our nation and we are far outnumbered.
But we have all the guns, tactics and guts to subdue more than enough of those clowns…
Several months ago I was at a restaurant in North Conway, NH on a Friday night. Shortly after my wife and I ordered, the night’s entertainment – a talented guitar player – set up his system and began to play. His first piece was the Star Spangled Banner.
I was the only person in the entire restaurant who stood up at my table and placed my hand over my heart.
At the time – with all the guff going on about the NFL – I was happy with the fact that no one tried to kneel. I should have been a bit more vocal about other people needing to stand.
Pimpimg out your service in hopes of a free meal, eh?
Everyone was so impressed, I’m sure.
Get over yourself.
Oh, so those of us who have risked life and limb in service to our Nation let alone those who have been wounded or disabled mean nothing when we voice our opinions about intentionally disrespecting our Flag an National Anthem? I myself was mentored by WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam Vets and I myself have no less than THREE Overseas Tours. Go back under your bridge, troll. You mean nothing to us.
You lose.
“Chesty”?
You sound more like Twinky the Snowflake.
Or perhaps you’re “Joe”.
Actually, you’re probably Keith. Do you plan to resurrect “Chris33” again any time soon?
Good job, Peter the Bubblehead–and if, in addition to a sense of personal obligation to arise, you also felt good about yourself that you did stand, well that’s a bonus.
Roger doesn’t get it and I don’t believe he even cares that he doesn’t get it. I’m vague on particulars, but this season either a HS or minor college team had a player(s) who refused to stand during the playing. The coach had him remove his jersey on the sidelines, right then, and then ordered him to the locker room. Class act. If this becomes common practice in HS/College, then we truly suck as a nation.
I motion for The Official TAH Tower of Insults®™ to be raised against Roger Goodell.
We have a motion and do we have a Second?
SECOND!
DORK THE SQUEAKHOLE!!!!
That shit just doesn’t get old.
*Giggling like Ex-PH2. *
We have a Second, do we have an AYE vote?
Aye
Point of Parliamentary Procedure.
While I don’t deny that the TOI is ALMOST expresses the way I feel about Roger’s handling of the situation, I also feel that the TOI is a more poser-specific remedy for expressing contempt.
One person’s opinion, and please don’t think I’m going Lars-esque here,
Agreed, it is most usually reserved for Stolen Valor Posers and embellishers….however in this case, we have multiple AYE votes and I think that at the very least this is a direct insupt to veterans via Roger Goodell, and the recent past behavior of players and the league in general is akin to them sticking their middle finger directly in each of our faces.

Go ahead, guess.
Come on, just take a little guess.
Ga ‘head,
I R FAMOUS???
Would my momma be proud of me???
Holy Chit, Chip!!
I just cut and pasted the “Tower of Insults®™ ” into Microsoft Word to find out the word count, and here are the results:
WORDS: 1986
CHARACTERS(NO SPACES): 10686
CHARACTERS(WITH SPACES)
12672
LINES: 98
I’m humbled being in the presence of a word-smith the likes of this earth has never seen before.
BRAVO!!! (smile)
Trust me,
It’s a cut and paste job and I’m only the caregiver of a living and breathing TAH masterpiece, many here have contributed to.
The interesting fact now, and it has been confirmed, that the, “Tower of Insults®™ ” has grown so large that it has to be completed over two posts.
Again, I’m glad that Jonn keeps allowing me to post it occasionally.
Christ on a crutch…
That was impressive.
A-fucking-men.
Probably should put “Shit-Slot Cosmonaut” and “Proper Daft Cunt” on there; That’s all I see missing.
Cheers,
MrFace
Oh My Fucking GAWD,
…immediately
*Salutes*
Done.
I’ll see your contribution in the next iteration.
“Shit-Slot Cosmonaut”
(Great alliteration!!)
“Proper Daft Cunt”
(Great use of the Queen’s English.)
Could you put that in a printer friendly form so I can make copies and post then in various locations?
You should be able to drag from top to bottom and Control+C to copy and then Control+V and paste it into a blank document.
“Likes to do Richard Simmons dances with a Barbie doll stuffed up his ass”, how’s that for an addition?
#MeToo
Aye!
Roger Goodell – *PTUI*
Aye.
Go furrit, ChipNASA!! Make it hurt!
Not that! Anything but that!!
“would wear Richard Simmons’ used jockstrap as a facemask”
How did I miss this one? Luckily, no beverage in hand.
The Dept of Defense needs to stop giving $$$ to show ads during NFL games.. Not watching. Haven’t seen a game all season.. The “superbowl” commercials will be all over the TV in the weeks following.
You can watch ’em all on YouTube the day after.
I no longer care for anyone in the NFL other than JJ Watts. That man is still a class act.
Regardless, I haven’t watched an NFL game in years, and won’t be starting now. It’s a lot more fun watching the 6-man football of the local private school, or the college football games. Venues where you can know the players personally and cheer their efforts, celebrate their triumphs, and commiserate their failures.
Our college rodeo team is one of the best as well. That is a fun thing to watch.
If the NFL were to disappear tomorrow (we can hope) it would have zero impact on my life.
I would dearly love if the MOH Honoree would take the coin and throw it, while telling the NFL to stuff it.
That would be a sight to see.
I can see the gentleman throwing two digits at each team and saying, “Fuck y’all. Take a knee on this.”
MLB Spring Training games start on the 12th… spring will be with us once again…
That means “Truck Day” rapidly approacheth. For those who don’t know, in and around Boston, Truck Day is a ‘Holy Day of Obligation’ for die hard baseball fans. Rejoice, Spring also is on the approach!!! I no longer make the trek to hallowed Fenway since it costs so much, but instead visit Paws and Sox at McCoy closer, cheaper, free parking; can’t go wrong with that and it puts zero revenue in the NFL’s coffers.
Until the Boys of Summer hit the fields of Florida and Arizona…we have some really good Hockey going on.
When I was a little kid growing up, my family was (some still are) heavily involved in the Deming Logging Show. It’s a competition each year the local Loggers put on to benefit Loggers in the area that have been hurt or killed in the woods.
I, as a 7 and 8 year old boy, would yell at the spectators in my immediate area if they didn’t take their hats off during the Anthems. The old guys from one of the several American Legions would post and hoist the colors.
I think the Bicentennial of our nation is what sparked my patriotism, that and the fact my Dad and Uncles, and older cousins would have tore my ass up if I behaved in any other manner.
I read somewhere, it may have been a comment one of you made, that a nation of people that hate their country will never stand up to fight for it. I think that is what these globalists/socialists are trying to do, undermine from within.
The NFL can kiss the darkest part of my ass, and eat dicks.

Yes unfortunately they are the only ones who get access to the media regularly enough to spew their opinions not just the media but everyday television shows that we are watching and perpetuating do our support of such things. They have the voice and even though we are the silent majority we remain silent because we fear being called the ist, ism words they call us that will inevitably leave their lips louder than we can ever speak our opinions in what intelligent people would consider social Discourse. Until we decide to become uglier and louder than them we cannot win. Look at it, over time we have been forced to accept every new social faux pas and every historically non moral behavior as something that is socially normal and should be accepted. We’re exposed to it and every aspect of every type of media we consume as regular consumers of American entertainment and media. Social engineering at its best brought to you by the generation that brought you the massive protests of Vietnam.
Wish I had known of that lottery which would have allowed me to win a Medal of Honor. I understand those who have won that award are held in very high esteem. That would have been cool.
/s
If they didn’t want another patriotic or Veteran related ad, then maybe they should have told their publications people H.O. Zimman, Inc., who solicited the AMVETS for the ad to begin with. But I’m sure at a cost of $30k a pop to the advertiser, and who knows what percent the publisher gets, they throw it all at the wall and see what sticks.
What the hell is a MoH winner?
Is there a MoH loser too?
Please NFL … edjumicate me more on this issue …
I’ve decided that the path to success and happiness in life is to carefully observe the actions and philosophy of Roger Goodell…and do the opposite.
Hear, hear!
Whatever they’re paying that man should come with a negative sign and a pineapple, covered in sand, inserted fronds first.
Everyone is good for something, even if it is just to serve as an example of what not to do!
“we’re going to have 15 Medal of Honor winners”
Yes, they will have been had.
Used like PR Pawns.
Football? Waste of time. Used to watch it when TV was still black & white. Then it turned into overdone commercials and bad halftime shows and the football didn’t get much space.
There are better ways to spend your time, y’know.
This should put you on the right track.
Goodell is one yuge scumfuck. It’s like this guy wakes up every morning with the challenge to be even more despicable than he was the previous day. What a sorry sad sack of shit that guy is.
Isn’t it true a 3 1/2 hour NFL broadcast only has 11 minutes of actual football play? Think, you could watch 4 games in the time it takes to watch one episode of Hill Street Blues (without commercials).
Veronica Hamel *BOING*
Screw Goodell and all the felons he represents.
BFM
I hope Roger Goodell bursts into flames the next time he takes a shit.
Well, that happened to me upon uncontrolled decent
AKA – Kamikaze mode?
“Descent”…sorry…I’m an ethereal bunghole that can’t manage a keyboard worth a shit
Dear NFL –
Please FOAD. Thank you.
