What conservatives lack the MOST is tolerance of other conservatives who do not conform 100% with their own agenda.

Just count the so called conservatives who are anti-Trumpers.

The liberals excel in tolerating all other liberals regardless of their diversion on some agenda issues.
How many anti-Hillary liberals can you count? I can, on my left hand fingers.

What are the teams going to do about the half filled stadiums, PUNT?

It seems you lack that tolerance as well, in your use of “so called conservatives” to describe some solid conservatives as being anti-Trump. Would you describe Ben Sasse (R-NE) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as “so-called” conservatives? Whereas Trump did have the early support of Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani - are these guys more conservative?

There are many anti-Hillary folks on the left, like Bernie Sandernistas and some so far out that they shout down Pelosi. Maybe they can’t be called “liberal”, however.

I rely on FoxNews.

That is the DOWNSIDE for me of Fox getting hurt by NFL Commie Bad-ell and the Uncle Toms of George Soros.

From a standpoint of pure superstition, I won’t have much problem holding out against the NFL — each time I’ve watched part of a Lions game this season, they’ve lost (currently 3 and 2, it sez here). Murphy’s Law — and we know that nothing, including the NFL, can resist that. :^)

The NFL Sunday Ticket just became as worthless as a single-sheet of used toilet paper....I’d wager that commercial income is going to tank too.

Most anti-Trumpers in my opinion are globalists under the control of their ultra-rich donor class. Senator Cruz for example received $40 Million from just 4 donors for his presidential run in 2016. He must obey their globalist agenda, not the ordinary middle class contributors who contributed may be 1/10th of that. That is why I refer to them as “so called”. Why do you think Cruz was pushing for 500% increase in H1-B visa immigrants? Or exhorting for a path to citizenship for illegals? I have recorded youtube video’s of both speeches.

In summary, any politician who is NOT for America First, is a “so called” conservative in my book. But, since I am tolerant of all politicians running against the democrats, I ALWAYS vote for them, regardless of whether they like Trump or not.

>>Conservatives are almost always ineffective at boycotting.
...
When liberals boycott, man...they mean business.<<

I have fojund it to be the opposite. Conservatives rarely boycott so when we do it usually works. And it is working as viewership in the NFL is down quite a bit.

We got whoopie kicked out as Slim Fast (iirc) spokesperson and some other victories.

In the meantime I don’t think you can point to a single successful liberal boycott.

But yes it is hard to get people to stay on the line.

This graphic #2 reminds me that it was exactly 10 years ago that I wrote Roger Goodell and predicted that he would run the NFL into ruin - partly due to refusal to allow Rush Limbaugh to become an owner, as well as allowing NE Patriots to maintain a win when they admitted they cheated it would have cost NE a trip to the Super Bowl. Goodell has been compelled to fulfill my prediction 😩

"....reminds me that it was exactly 10 years ago that I wrote Roger Goodell and predicted that he would run the NFL into ruin....."

You were 'prescient', Bob....a word that has applied to you many times over your two decades of posting great analysis here on FR !

Thanks for the info, new to me.

The Arena Football League sounds interesting. With a smaller field, I expect it feels almost like a different game.

The Legends Football League provides an eyeful. Some of those ladies are barely dressed. That is too much of a distraction for me. I agree that they need normal sports uniforms to be taken more seriously. I’m willing to give women’s football a try.

I was (am) hoping for something more along the lines of the old AFL or the World Football League.

As it stand now, I may give the new AFL a try.
