PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY
League Policies for Players
2016
It is a privilege to be part of the National Football League
.
Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the NFL”

Many in the public have LOST that confidence in the NFL and its integrity.
So let's look at where were are today in our country.
SOME people are "offended" by the Stars and bars, which was stolen by the KKK, because it "reminds " them of slavery.
SOME are "offended" by age old statues because it reminds them of the Civil War.
Some people are "offended" by certain words.
We must neutralize ALL words so as NOT to offend anyone.
The point is we act when SOME are offended no matter how silly others think it is.
SO, today a LOT of people are "offended" by these spoiled over paid athletes and their actions.
Why is it when someone on the left is "offended", that is where most of the offended people come from, we change things and cow tow to them BUT, when patriotic people are offended it does NOT matter?
People insult our country and pay little respect to it and some think that is OK.
I'd bet that those that do NOT respect the flag DON'T respect their mothers or fathers, wives etc. and certainly NOT themselves.
Such a pity!
They say the flag is just a piece of cloth.
It is NOT!
The flag, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS."
The flag represent the United States, for all its good AND bad.
The league has a reputation to hold.
When a LOT of people tell the league they do NOT agree wth their actions, the league had better listen.
The name of the game is MONEY.
When fans STOP spending money the league LISTENS.
People have burned their season tickets. Yes the league got the money for the tickets but look at how much the teams loses in concessions and football "gear" sold at the stadiums.
Football jerseys and other football gear sales is DOWN.
I canceled my NFL package and the rep told me that a LOT of people have cancelled theirs.
The cumulative affect will grow.
The NFL WILL feel the pinch.
