“I have a degree of social network around my football buddies...”
I think we all do, which is why this might do more to divide the country than most realize. And because it has the potential for being so destructive to something that binds us regardless of left or right politics, it leads me to believe there’s something else driving this business.
Tucker did a pretty good job getting into this last night.
Honestly, I haven’t given the thought (until recently) that it could possibly be driven by something else than what it appears to be, but it is making more sense to me with each passing day.
One of the things the Left does is destroy and appropriate symbols and language. They understand just how important it is.
NFL football is a uniquely American thing. It is a masculine thing. Both of these things are despised and hated by the Left.
So, yes...I have considered it, and feel more inclined to view it in that prism.
It is entirely possible that dumb asses like Micheal Bennett and Kapernick buy into the crap completely and are willing to sacrifice their careers, because Bennett hasn’t got much longer to play, and Kapernick wasn’t much to begin with, but both have made multi-millions playing the sport, but don’t give a crap about the 24 year old useful idiots just starting out, or the cowardly players of all stripes who are touching the back of their head to the heels of their cleats to avoid being politically incorrect.
