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.
Thank you sir and congratulations on your new position.
Smart man.
I doubt Goodell gives a $hit. He can buy and sell this guy 50 times over.
Goodell is a douche.
I did not watch one single game this season, not even part of one.
I don’t miss it either.
