Cross Vin Scully off my folks I admire list.....hes not watching another NFL game.....


Vin Scully said Saturday night that he will “never watch another NFL game” in response to the ongoing demonstrations by some players during the national anthem.

Speaking at “An Evening with Vin Scully” at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Saturday, the longtime Los Angeles Dodgers announcer was asked about the response from owners, players and commissioner Roger Goodell to the demonstrations, which players have used to protest racial injustice and police brutality.

“I have only one personal thought, really. And I am so disappointed,” Scully said, according to multiple videos of the moment posted on social media. “I used to love, during the fall and winter, to watch the NFL on Sunday. And it’s not that I’m some great patriot. I was in the Navy for a year. Didn’t go anywhere. Didn’t do anything. But I have overwhelming respect and admiration for anyone who puts on a uniform and goes to war. So the only thing I can do in my little way is not to preach. I will never watch another NFL game.”

2. I never admired him in the first place

Hey Vin what about me? I was in OIF 3 what about my opibion for people that support troops or whatever they sure don't care what someone has to say. I support the players protest and never gave a rats ass about the anthem.

Never liked him anyway.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've heard that one before.

Primitive JonLP24 is entitled to his opibion--he can go to all the football games he wants for as long as the NFL stays in business.

5. Like the NFL is going to suffer.

Suffering is exactly what the NFL is doing, you stupid mutt.  Try to keep up with current events.

It's not enough to make me a Dodgers fan, but kudos to Vin Scully!

The Dodgers were better when they were in Brooklyn.

It was damned near the crime of the century, when their owner moved them to California.

<<<haven't cared for the Dodgers since.

9. Vin lives in a bubble ...

I've listened to him doing Dodger games since I was 10 years old (I'm 56 now), and as I got older, I began to understand through his musings as he was announcing Dodger games that he's a thuglican, which is his right. He's an old white guy, so of course he doesn't give one shit about African-Americans being shot at or straight out murdered like big game animals just because they're black or because they look suspicious. IF he has grand kids, he doesn't have to worry about them either. The officers who've gone rogue or who are rogue police officers aren't going after his grand children etc. like big game animals.

Thermo nuclear stupidity. obama and a lot of other blacks & dems could care les about dead AA's. what have they done about chicago and other black gang violence? The same as the jack ass nfl players. NOT 1 F**KING THING!!
