Responses:

Did Roger Goodell ever have negative things to say about Colin K and his right to opinions and thoughts? - Strongbad May 22, 11:06 20
- Can you point to a positive or supportive thing that Goodell said about Kaepernick's protest? - Roger More May 22, 12:10
- the owners have blackballed him for seven years (despite this being the apparent announced policy of the league) -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 11:09 18
  - Correct. The owners. Not NFL or Goodell. - Strongbad May 22, 11:11 17
    - I would agree with the caveat that Goodell doesn't take a crap without the owners' say so. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 11:13 15
      - Yes. Which means if the owners told him to say something about Colin, he... would've said something? -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 11:27 13
        
        I mean they weren't going to trot him out there to confirm it. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 11:30
        
        blackballing, how does it work -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 11:28 11
        
        Or maybe, dude wanted to be paid starting QB money and nobody was willing to do that? - Strongbad May 22, 11:31 10
        
        That's a non-starter as an argument. We've watched total scrubs get paid starter money. He was an eyelash away from winning a Super Bowl. - David May 22, 11:36 9
        
        It's a fact that you can't prove? - Strongbad May 22, 11:38 8
        
        I can prove that the NFL cut him a check to get the lawsuit out of court, which is more than you can say with your theoreticals. -- nm - David May 22, 11:39 7
        
        Absolutely. People settle court cases all the time. - Strongbad May 22, 11:43 6
        
        Also, at one time 30ish similar owners refused to let black QBs play. All the way to the early 1980s. -- nm* - Inigo May 22, 11:58 3
        
        Is there a good example of this? - Strongbad May 22, 12:43 2
        
        Condredge Holloway would be another. -- nm* - Reagen May 22, 12:48
        
        Moon had to go to the CFL to be able to play pro QB. - Reagen May 22, 12:46
        
        I have a really hard time believing that the NFL would settle a collusion case unless they thought they'd lose. - Inigo May 22, 11:55
        
        And yet here we are... -- nm - David May 22, 11:45
      - Is he the most constipated man in sports? -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 11:14
    - lol okay. the owners are the league. Goodell is their errand boy -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 11:13
It’s sad that this is so accurate. -- (pic) - Tim May 22, 10:50 [Attachment] 1
- and I'm pretty sure that meme is now in fact the entire GOP platform at this point. -- nm - Jovian May 22, 10:57
oh that kicker, theyve been defending him all over right-wing radio -- nm - Jovian May 22, 10:24 30
- Yeah, I've seen a lot of defense of him in comments on various socials. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 May 22, 10:36 26
  - "He has the right to say what he wants!!" Yeah, fuckin duh. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 10:38 25
    - And to be socially excoriated for it. -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 10:48 20
      - Tik Tok especially has been creatively brutal on him -- nm - Pippy Shark May 22, 11:25 6
        
        to sum up: He's giving short dick syndrome whilst mansplaining to a bunch of women graduates on which role they should be excited for - Pippy Shark May 22, 11:27 4
        
        He sounds just like a Saudi Arabian man in that speech. -- nm - David May 22, 11:30 3
        
        Truly. I know a couple who are happy as can be with her being a home maker. He never talks this way. Ever. -- nm - Pippy Shark May 22, 11:42 2
        
        Yup, if the couple enjoys that dynamic, they can. - Inigo May 22, 12:16 1
        
        Agreed % -- nm - Pippy Shark May 22, 12:59
        
        Good. And I look forward to him missing kicks this season. The humiliation should be ceaseless. -- nm - David May 22, 11:26
      - Pretty much. We should all know that Catholics expressing their beliefs to other Catholics is a big no no. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 11:07 12
        
        I'll give you this, this is a better hill for you to die on thatn your average. (NM) - Marlowe May 22, 12:08
        
        My point was that freedom of speech is not a free pass; it is not freedom from consequences and criticism. -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 11:11 1
        
        100% agree. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 11:11
        
        I mean… - Dark Callisto 🦊 May 22, 11:10
        
        which beliefs in particular -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 11:08 7
        
        The importance of motherhood and the role his wife has had in raising their family? -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 11:12 6
        
        If that's all you got from him, you may want to listen again. -- nm - Inigo May 22, 12:04 3
        
        I hope that everyone in this thread who is anti-Butker actually listened to his speech instead of reading viral stories afterwards. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 12:28 2
        
        Good challenge. I actually just read the whole thing. It is even worse than the bullet points, mostly. I am appalled by it, and I *do* say it as - Marlowe May 22, 12:43 1
        
        Obviously I am in the minority here, -- (edited) - Strongbad May 22, 12:45
        
        there's nothing Catholic about that (also not the import of his words) -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 11:14 1
        
        I disagree, but I am also not Catholic. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 11:16
    - yeah... -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 May 22, 10:42
    - "His employer, the team with a racist AF fan chant that it refuses to prohibit in its stadium, had no comment" -- nm - hollywood big shot May 22, 10:41 2
      - and a certain KC girlfriend still has a chance to do the funniest thing from now and before Nov -- nm - Jovian May 22, 10:42
      - Oh, the owner's wife did. She's on his side. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 May 22, 10:42
- hopefully not women though, they should all be in the kitchen -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 22, 10:26 2
  - YEAH! -- nm - Katie Britt May 22, 10:41
  - the only women allowed to speak on right-wing radio is Judge Janine, Miranda Devine, and Lara Trump. -- nm* - Jovian May 22, 10:33
