Around the NFL Off - Season style.

I honeslty don't even understand the Jewish Holiday being a reason to not play the game on Wednesday.

I am not insensitive to the Jewish religious holidays, but like others have said the league plays football on more than one Christian Holiday so whats the big deal. They play games on the Sabbath during the playoffs so its not like the league has a problem with not observing religious practices.

You're forgetting...in the new America, we cherish all "other" religions...but Christianity...blah, who cares, they just get in the way!

It is just Goodell trying to show his big swinging d!ck is all

Alright this thread just turned mad dumb. Let's keep the discussion on football.

The NFL has played games at Rosh Hashanah time previously.

Dont these ivory tower pinheads have something better to do like building new bridges or fix the deficit or sumpthin?

Can't even get the Dems to work on a budget but they can throw $$$$ at Pakistan to help their kids get college degrees, throw $$$$ in military equipement to Egypt but force our military to cut their budget, give themselves a raise and force all other Federal workers to be furloughed, they give money to profitable colleges for stupid studies like the study of duck penises and want to tax Americans more so they can spend more.

I grew up a proud Democrat, I'm now a proud Independant voter always looking for who the best candidate is. Unfortunatly the Dems are forcing me to lean heavily toward the Republicans.

This Administration hasn't even signed a budget yet...we're in year 5!

You expect them to actually work on something important? Ha.



This liberal "don't offend anyone" mentality is not only going after the Redskins, but the whole sport of football is going to be changed by this way of thinking...it has already started with all of the rules to water down the "violence" of the game. They're always trying experiments to cater to foreign countries and minority groups (games in Mexico, Canada, England...) If a team ever does sign a female kicker...look out...the game will never be the same again. Rules will be changed that will ruin the sport.

Enjoy football while you can...it won't be real football for much longer.

-100% agree on you government comment

-Football is on the decline. All thanks to Goodell wanting to put his mark on it. I like Football and Hockey simply because of the violence.

-The NFL needs to worry when players stop playing cause their afraid of injuries. Funny it's the NFL making all these changes but I have not heard one player on tv or radio talking about how we need new rules to protect players.

-I don't have a problem with a female kicker as long as they can get it between the goal posts. QB's and Kickers are supposed to be protected from hits anyway.

jeeeesh, whats next not playing on Shomer Shabbos!! :Smoker:

Festivous
