Despite your plea, I still do not care about the NFL.
Of course they are taking over the NFL and raiding its money.
Have to say this is pretty spot on. I have also heard the leftists complain that football needs to be eliminated because its “too violent”. I’m willing to bet that if a big time soccer player beat his kid or wife, it would be nothing but a quick blurb on the nightly news and never heard again.
I started paying attention to the NFL again when Tim Tebow was playing, but then the NFL buried the guy, and I lost interest again.
I understand your argument, and I’m not saying there isn’t some merit to it. But the NFL has been disgustingly groveling to PC for years now. Cowering to lefties. The Michael Sam thing was the most recent and most vomitous example of this.
Hence, I can’t muster up a single shred of sympathy for the NFL. They opened this door themselves. And that’s not even adding the aspect of the repulsive gangsta-thug culture that’s now part of the sport. This is not a League nor a group of people I’ll stand with.
Yes, the lefties have football in their target. I don’t care a LOT about football, but I sure as heck care about capitalism. On Hugh Hewitt today, they were wondering why the NFL felt it had to provide a parallel court system. Do they have laws based on the Constitution? What about double jeopardy? What about just letting the legal system take its course.
How about that some of these players could be O’s sons? They look like him, right? But he’s not protecting them. It turns my stomach, I tell you.
The NFL:
Is a non-profit organization. WHOA!
Has a special exemption from federal anti-trust laws. Hidden inside a foreign aid bill put there by congressmen for special interests. KICKBACKS?
Receives special incentives from the local governments at the expense of the taxpayers.
To be clear, I don’t think you are defending them...I just don’t care. And I’m an avid NFL fan
Ask yourself why the NFL is being targeted. The answer is that the NFL is the very definition of American capitalism, American hard work, American merit, and American freedom.
They sing the national anthem at every game for crying out loud!
Football is an AMERICAN thing. It defines our culture. What country plays football besides America (and next door neighbor Canada)? Same for baseball and NASCAR.
America is so arrogant, donchaknow. They invented their own game. Soccer is the primary game. And soccer is called football everywhere else...arrogant scoundrels.
Rush is right. Football will be displaced in ten years.
I’m convinced that nothing short of extermination (either selectively or in mass) will deter these toads from destroying our culture and our very civilization. If we can’t get people to fight for their 2nd amendment rights, their economy, or their healthcare, how can one expect them to rise up over football?
The NFL deserves everything coming to them for jumping in bed with the PC crowd. They are not a free market.
Read this for more:
The NFL is under assault from the outside, AND from within. Components of the leftist PC crowd have positions inside the league headquarters, the front offices of probably every team, and the sports media.
“Our support” can’t possibly save the NFL now. That’s a battle that should have been fought maybe 10 years ago. The Left has already won this one. Football as we have always loved it is already gone. It may be gone completely within the next 25 or so years.
Agreed. And you left out the ramped up criticism of the Redskins’ name. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this is orchestrated by the Democrat Party. They are looking for any shiny object they can find.
I kinda don’t care. Football is boring, overhyped and their divas, well... whatever. Hockey on the other hand... guys have their nose broken, go to the locker room, then come back out 5 minutes later with a face cage and their nose packed full of cotton. They lose teeth and don’t mind. And when they get in fights, they get 5 minutes in the penalty box and come back out. Don’t football players get fined for fighting and suspended some games? That’s lame.
The elephant in the living room is the massive universal usage of steroids. I understand from insiders that it is 100 % on the offensive line. 100%. On every team. anyone doubt that?
I have been asking that same question.
Back when Richard Nixon was president, a star pass receiver from an NFL team located in one of the Southern states was arrested for exposing himself to a 10-yer-old girl. Earlier, he had been caught doing something similar, at a playground, when he was with an NFL team in one of the Great Lakes states. But he essentially beat the rap in both cases, getting probation. And although he was quickly traded (to my favorite team, I am sorry to say), his career continued--and the media responded with a collective ho-hum.
NFL sort of ‘caved’ with the Pink thing....
They must have felt the ‘heat’ from all the attention NBA was getting for their ‘washed up’, overated sodomite.
Wonder what kind of compensation the Cards and Cowboys got or are going to get for taking a ‘flyer’ on Sam?
Remember earlier this year when the NFL ‘banned’ the “N” word from being said on NFL ‘property’ the Blacks immediately jumped up and claimed they were being discriminated against with the most outlandish line being.
NONE OF THE WHITES use the word so you are just passing this rule because WE use it.
This BS is so convoluted it is easy to figure out.
Bad part is one must look for the s/s after reading some of this laughable garbage....
Didn’t take long for the NFL to grovel at the feet of PC AND hire 3 or 4 women to run the ‘department’ that will handle all this trash.
Started with Joe Namath wearing panty hose, and has progressed to one of the Defensive Linemen of Joes day making the statement.
‘Since we can’t hit THEM anymore, why not put skirts on them so we can really tell them apart’ or some such line...
Yeah, I think the left hates football for a lot of the obvious reasons. I also think there are a lot of positives about football.
But the NFL has done a lot on its own that made its product unpalatable to folks that still dig some semblance of sportsmanship in sports entertainment. I’m talking on field stuff, the actual product. I don’t know what the solution would be considering how much money is made and how popular it is, but when the cool players are unwilling or unable to police the jerkwads, they lost me. Obviously I am in the minority, it only became more popular after that. I like it when they help each other up after plays. I can’t stand it when they break out the celebratory posturing garbage with impunity. There should be some mechanism of self policing beyond the lame excessive celebration rule suitable for 2nd graders.

So I guess women’s soccer great Hope Solo’s career is finished after a domestic violence complaint after she punched out her sister and nephew? Or when she and her husband to be got in a big fight? What, it doesn’t apply to women? Who knew?
“Keep in mind that Goodell has pretty much given the Left wanted. It’s never enough with these people.”
Duh! Why should the left stop doing what they’re doing if they’re getting results? What happens when you give in to a bully or to a blackmailer? Why would they stop? It is precisely Goodell’s fault of giving them what they want that they are smelling blood. And why would I want to protect a league that’s giving the Left what they want? So that I continue to hear Costa’s anti-gun rants and other leftist crap that has nothing with football? No thank you. The NFL has made its bed and they can sleep in it. I was done with the NFL for a while.
