Tennessee Star: Former NFL star and freshman Utah GOP Rep. Burgess Owens says the NFL has gotten too political and he will continue to boycott the National Football League until Commissioner Roger Goodell is fired.
Owens played for the New York Jets in the 1970’s and helped bring the Los Angeles Raiders to their championship Super Bowl win in 1984. Owens, who now represents Utah’s fourth Congressional district, has since become a sharp critic of the modern-day NFL.
He told “Just the News AM” on Monday that Goodell is taking away the elements of sports that united fans and instead making the NFL game political.
Owens said politics in football is “something I just don’t have a tolerance for this point. … I’m one of those guys who has decided I’m done with the NFL for a while.” more
Solid guy! I liked him right out of the gate.
Roger Goodell probably sits when he pee’s.
Goodell should be made to take Krapperdick and the rest of the Barely Living Morons with him.
I am a BRADY fan! Totally & completely.
The 6th round Pick that WORKED, STILL works, and will ALWAYS work.
The Day he retires in the day I stop watching.
He is the living breathing epitome of WORK ETHIC.
Does anyone else out there know that Mahome’s Mommy attacked Gisele, the refs esp. & the NFL?
The way they shit on a WORKIN MAN is exactly the way they shit on TRUMP. They hate what they cannot duplicate!
The Media built up Brady like crazy BEFORE the SB thinking that Mahomes would beat him and then they could pass the Quarterback torch to the NEW guy.
Like 2016, they miscalculated. BIGLEY!
Bear Down my Friends, work hard, and teach your kids ( and grand kids) the Godly value of Labour & effort. It pays OFF!
Brady is a family man. He looks after ALL his kids, like a responsible MAN! He does not run from his fatherly duties.
I will stop watching the day Tom Brady Retires. The viewership drop off will be precipitous that season.
He is the exact opposite of what the left admires. His team mates respect him and DO NOT JUDGE BASED ON RACE.
Tillman, Villanueva, and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (KC quit to become a doctor) are the real MEN of the NFL.
THAT’S my Rep! (unlike a Senator I could name)
It’s not happening.
Our country is NEVER going back to anything resembling what it was. EVER.
End the wishful thinking, so we can take discussions to the next level.
My hat is off to Mr. Owens for his timely and righteous stand.
Thank you, sir!
He’s a great guy and author! Go Owens!!! We need more patriots like you!
Yay Burgess Owens! Utah is lucky to have you.
Mr Owens could you please to to our governor in CA, Governor Hitler Hair Gel? He ruining the state day by day. I respect you and your honesty. Hair Gel could learn, but wait, that means he would need to listen to common sense. Utah is lucky to have you sir.
