To Me, the NFL Means “Nasty Freakin Losers”

Most every FOP member I speak to, here in New Mexico or across the country, will not be watching NFL games this season. Some will never watch another game again. The NFL has turned its back on the FOP and Law Enforcement as a whole, and decided to fully embrace Black Lives Matter. You know BLM. They are the cop hating, cop assaulting, citizen killing, public property destructors, private property destructors, and all-around Anti-American group of degenerates. Ya, them.

They are responsible for the killing of many. In fact, on September 13th of this year, BLM showed up at an LA hospital, blocked the entrance and exits, and shouted in unison, “We hope they die.” These members of BLM were referring to the cowardly ambush and attempted murders of two LA County Sheriffs’ deputies. THAT IS WHAT BLM IS ALL ABOUT!

The NFL, from Commissioner Roger Goodell all the way on down, believes in the organization so much, it has become the reason for existence of the NFL. It’s really not about football anymore. The same could be said about the NBA, Major League Baseball, soccer, and pretty much all pro and college sports. Ratings are down all the way around,,,,double digit decreases in viewership. I would like to see 30-40% fewer people watching the NFL this year. This would hurt their product dramatically which is what they deserve.

Our profession, our veteran’s, and our country have taken a beating by most players in the league. Blind side Steelers tackle Alejandro Villanueva was one exception. In 2017, he chose to walk out of the tunnel for the anthem, place hand over heart, and sing each and every word. Unfortunately, under duress, he apologized for his actions the next day. More recently, we all watched Saints quarterback tell the world he does not support kneeling for the anthem, and had two grandfathers who served in World War II. He was brutally attacked by players across the NFL, even threatened by a couple of defensive players of opposing teams. He and his wife apologized the next day. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WOULD HAVE TO APPOLIGIZE FOR LOVING HIS COUNTRY, STANDING FOR THE FLAG, SUPPORTING ACTIVE MILITARY, PRAISING VETERANS, AND STANDING BEHIND LAW ENFORCEMENT? BLM has been able to do just that, and the NFL loves it!

I am just one man, but a man (and former DIEHARD Steelers fan) who puts my country, the flag, my retired military Father, and my profession before anyone in the entertainment business or any domestic terrorist group. My sports viewing will consist of watching Little League baseball games at Yucca and Enchantment leagues in Valencia County, along with football, basketball, and baseball games at Los Lunas, Belen, and Valencia High Schools.

Thank you for reading this.

Take care, be safe, stay well, and God Bless,

The Officer Next Door

From an Austin Police Officer after being gutted today by their city council.

Dear Community,

We have served with the best of our ability for many years. We have missed anniversaries, birthdays, funerals, sports, and many other things so we could be there for you. When you called, we came. When you were being victimized, we stepped in and stopped it. When you were on your last breath, we gave you another and another. As many as it took to keep you alive. We held your child and loved on them when they were scared. We comforted you when your loved ones passed. We put our lives in harms way when the wolf came for you. When you ran from gunfire, we ran towards it. When you sat trapped in your car, we held your hand until the rescue crew could cut you out. We bought you lunch when others walked by and did nothing. We brought justice to your family when someone was taken from you. We gave you a voice when you had none. We stepped in when you couldn’t protect yourself. We saved your son’s, daughter’s, husband’s, aunt’s, brother’s, and sister’s.

The day came when we needed your help, but you never showed. When we asked you to stand up and give us a voice, you remained silent. When we were at our lowest, you offered no help. When we were being attacked, you watched from afar. When the time came for you to fight for us, you stayed home and kept silent. (To those who didn’t, thank you.)

The Austin Police Department has been almost completely defunded. There is barely enough to pay for our salary, medical care, and retirement. Now, when the wolf puts a bomb at your doorstep, we won’t be there. When a drunk driver kills your family member, we won’t be there. When your family member is drowning at the lake, we won’t be there. When someone crashes into your car, we won’t be there. When gangs take over your neighborhood, we won’t be there. When you’re assaulted on one of the many trails, we won’t be there. When you’re child is lost, we won’t be there to find them.

We won’t be there because your Austin City Council has shut down almost every unit needed to keep you safe and be there for you. They took everything from you while you sat in silence. They did it for their own personal gain and agenda. They won’t be there for you and made sure we couldn’t either.

Your Guardian,

An Austin Police Officer

Wow. Well said. Send this to your legislators!

The Police in America are under assault.
In Minneapolis, Atlanta, LA, New York and virtually any big city in America, you see the Left move to demonize and defund our police.
In Seattle, domestic terrorists took over an entire neighborhood and kicked out the police.
But do these leftists have any idea what they are actually asking for?
Former cop Brandon Tatum breaks down what a police-free future looks like for America.
And who will be the most hurt when we disband our police.

National FOP VP response to Defunding police departments

This radical idea to “defund the police” is insane and dangerous. It makes for a popular hashtag used by Hollywood elites and virtue-signaling politicians, but that’s about it. Americans have seen what it would be like and they were horrified to see the pure violence and mayhem caused by the rioters and looters.
