In June of 2020, Roger Goodell grew a pair and finally told Donald


to go fuck himself by reading the statement below. Of course, Trump had stirred his little Cult into trying to cancel the NFL, but in the wake of the George Floyd murders, the players in the NFL had enough. To wit:

("On Thursday night, a collection some of the NFL’s biggest stars released a video challenge to the league. A-listers including Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson and Odell Beckham spoke powerfully about the omnipresence of systemic racism against black Americans.

Then the players turned to the deep rift that has existed between players and owners ever since Colin Kaepernick first knelt during the national anthem in 2016 to protest against racism. They asked the NFL to apologize and recognize the current moment by putting out a statement with these words: “We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systemic oppression of black people. We, the NFL admit were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all that speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter.”

Well, either the MAGA fans joined in the big "Fuck you, Trump" party or simply the NFL doesn't need them, I dunno. But at any rate, Thursday drew the largest audience for a regular season game since GWHB was President.

Decency 1, MAGA zero.

Black Lives Matter! Trump does not.
