It didn’t happen until last night. For the entire time that the recent spate of highly inflamed National Anthem protests on NFL playing fields has been unfolding this year, there’s been something nagging at the back of my mind. Watching liberal activists (not to be confused with rank and file voters who may happen to be registered Democrats but also enjoy sports) charging to the barricades over these displays of kneeling, sitting or otherwise acting disrespectfully during the playing of the anthem and the display of the American flag, something just didn’t seem right. But last night was when it hit me. This isn’t about protesting racism, police misconduct or anything of the sort. What we’re observing is potentially one of the greatest red herrings in the history of American political scams.
The question I was most confused over was… why this location? Why this particular time? The reality is that any of these well paid players could call a press conference or show up at any rally to talk about racism, police shootings and all the rest, and they would draw the attention of millions, along with the media. (God only knows ESPN would show up.) So why were the liberal activists insisting that it had to be at the start of a game while the National Anthem is playing and the flag is on display? It didn’t make sense. And then, suddenly, it did.

But the NFL is a rotten brain-killing league anyway.
It had to go. It’s just surprising how it being brought down.
A conspiracy against the NFL? Nah, the NFL is just a reflection of the demoralized culture it entertains.
Got bread and circuses?
“Jazz Shaw nailed the REAL purpose for the NFL anthem protests. “
It took him this long to figure out the left is out to destroy our civilization?
Yep.
And of interest....all started by a Moslem.
OK, then it's doubly idiotic for these owners and the league to take the actions they've been taking in support of the protests. By this author's account, they're hastening the slashing of their throats.
Elucidated well by James Burnham in "Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism."
Football will AIWAYS be an American sport! Perhaps not on the National level, if we walk away from the NFL.
We are Americans! We can set up volunteer local teams in our communities. People who want to play for the JOY of THE GAME and people who want to watch THE GAME. Touch football at first, then who knows. It is more fun when you know the people on your team. Like high school football.
Let’s take OUR GAME back, from the corporatists and their politics!
This is BS.
This is all about race for the left.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Exclusively race. Used as a wedge to divide and forward Marxism.
I don’t buy what Jazz is selling. The Left is merely supporting their perpetually aggrieved voting plantation slaves, like they always do. And reflexively going against Trump.
Agreed. Killing off the league is not their primary issue. That being said, I don’t think they would be too upset if it was gone.
Thank you for the book tip. I’ll take a look.
Great article! All NFL kneelers should read it and then look up the term “Useful Idiot”.
If the NFL and NBA go away the number of black millionaires will approach zero. The number of black men working will probably be cut in half.
I’d like the NFL a lot more if they didn’t extort billions in subsidies and bribes for their multi-billion dollar stadiums from communites that can’t afford to fix their streets, water systems, or schools.
Example: Ford Field in Detroit cost around $750 million when you include not just the stadium but the infrastructure improvements that were required by the stadium.
And recall that Detroit went bankrupt.
I can’t imagine that the costly stadium didn’t contribute to the bankruptcy.
All said, I don’t mind the NFL but I’d much prefer if the billionaires who own all the millionaires would stop asking working people to pay for stadiums that most of us can’t afford to visit.
Yes, the Left likes to attack American cultural icons.
But like the Boy Scouts and how they were forced to bow before the PC Left, the NFL management sold itself to the common culture for money.
When you do that, you give away control of your future.

Nobody forced the BSA to release that predator into the summer camps under their purview in 1976.
The cancer of cultural demoralization has deep roots.
Actually, no because both the players and the league don’t realize the real objective here. Jazz is right and I’ve been making this point since Colin first knelt. Leftist are destroying the NFL.
