Conservatives in Congress Introduce Legislation to End NFL Subsidies Following Protests

The NFL Kneelers are dumb racist who are being exploited by left wing demagogue pundits and politicians

No , they are kneeling due to racial injustice by cops. They have every right.
Why are they kneeling against the very government that liberals want? If you get rid of all US citizens guns, you will need more government police to protect you right? Seems that you are just a stupid liberal(redundant statement).
 
It was bound to happen. NFL owners should have fired these overpaid loudmouths before they wound up costing the owners millions$$$. Now the owners will lose millions$$$ in subsidies, that are offered when NFL teams build or refurbish their stadiums.

Republican Congressman Steve Russell of Oklahoma is a highly decorated 21-year combat veteran who lost comrades in deployments overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait. He knows firsthand the sacrifices veterans have made for his country.

He, like many other Republican Congressmen, believe the current NFL protests, begun last year by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, have crossed the line in terms of lack of patriotism among spoiled football players. To that end, Russell has introduced legislation that would end federal subsidies for the NFL.

Also, legislation, to do the same, is being introduced by Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, who is now lead sponsor of the Pro Sports Act, which was introduced by former Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz,.

So NFL owners will lose Billions$$ because they couldn't (or wouldn't) control their bigmouth players .Should have gotten rid of these dopes before they caused all he trouble.

Trump calls for end to NFL tax breaks -- bill already in place!

If they don't want to get shot at, then don't join the war.

Good!!!

Fuck corporate welfare.
 
More red meat for the rubes. The NFL league office was the only NFL entity that received a tax break. Btw, they ended that themselves in 2015. The individual teams have always paid taxes as have the players. The new law will effect other professional sports however. The stadiums are a local matter but the Bonds issues do get some federal breaks. Since 2000 the new stadiums built got a total of 1.1 billion in tax breaks. But there again other sports received more breaks than football for their stadiums too.

Leave it to the Republicans to raise taxes.

Rah, rah rah.

Is the NFL getting 'massive tax breaks', as Trump said?
The other sports' players aren't disrespecting the country like the footballers are. Did anybody see the national anthem ceremonies of the 2 World Series games played this week ?

Not one person in the whole stadium (in Los Angeles) was kneeling. The singers were terrific, and the whole presentation was honorable to the max.

Even if the Protests NEVER happened, the NFL is rich, and should not be receiving even a dollar of taxpayer funds for ANYTHING. It should be banned from extorting cities to finance their stadiums.

3 Cheers for Congress. My approval of them is slowly rising...
Introducing and passing is two different things. I doubt congress will pass it. They do nothing! When is the last time they have accomplished anything of note. They are to afraid of losing votes to govern and have been that way for years. I want a refund on congresses pay checks. A bunch of do nothing bums that leave everything up to the president. You would think they would feel guilty.
 
What subsidies do they receive from the Federal Government?
 
Subsidies? Rich spoiled overgrown kids get million dollar contracts and the U.S. taxpayers subsidize the NFL? How is that possible?
 
The NFL should never have had these subsidies. I think the reason behind it is bogus, but I am glad congress is finally stepping up and fixing the problem.

Agreed, even if it's for the wrong reason.
 
The kneelers want the entire NFL to engage in social justice awareness. The fans don't want to be preached to at football games. That's why the fans are withdrawing. The world is working exactly as it is supposed to. The kneelers can be treated just like the crazy guy in the park screaming "The End is Nigh". Get ignored. Lose those millions. The kneelers should be made to suffer financially until they get the message.

The NFL is not the only ones. The city of Cincinatti put up a $250 million dollar stadium for the Reds in Great American Ball park. The owner thanks Cincinatti by gutting the salaries out of an all ready bad team and dumps all their good players. What a dick!! Good thing the Bannana man is gone! Worst owner ever! This is what you get when you use a profit above all philosophe.

But Penny; they're shitting on the Flag and Anthem to make a point that is totally unrelated!! A bit like shooting ducks because the chooks ate the grain.

Greg

They are not. You are the ones shitting on the Anthem and flag. When I joined the service., I took a oath to defend the Constitution of the United States not the flag or anthem. I defended this country for them to kneel if they so desire. These Congressmen take the same oath to defend the Constitution. These so-called conservatives are abusing their authority to go after their enemies. They want to divide this country and keep the rubes satisfied. Hate animates Republicans more than ideas. How the party has changed since Ronald Reagan.

If they would have been fired when they were in the planning stages, all this could have been avoided.

The Cleveland Browns Consistently are $20-30 million under the salary. They suck but because they get subsidies for their stadium and the NFL itself gets subsidies, The Browns then never have to be competitive or win, because Haslem is guaranteed a profit.

I just don't watch the NFL anymore. It's my tax dollars that are supporting them anyways, so I don't have to help them screw the fans and former fans like me even more by continuing to support them.

This will never happen and you know why but you also defend the reason why which is funny.
 
The Federal Government should not subsidize the building of stadiums for entertainment and profit.

Local Govts do it to try to steal a team from another city but why should the federal government get involved

NFL does not need the money
