Time to become hockey fans. The NHL has mostly Canadian players who don’t disrespect the country or flag or bite the hand that feeds them.

Late night television is now a mindless echo chamber of left-wing propaganda, with viewership way down. Pro sports are clearly heading the same way.

As our cable bills go up with less tv being watched by us, many of us are cutting the Cable. We did it in June after two $25 price increase in 6 months.

When we cut our cables with Comcast, AT&T and ???, we are taking money away each month from ESPN/Disney.

When you use streaming services, these evil bastards can sneak in as a channel in your streaming package.

However, Sling Blue does not carry/transmit any ESPN or Disney Channels. We cancelled our Sling Blue/Orange combo last week, and we now use Sling Blue for streaming via our internet. ESPN/Disney never get $'s from us. They took a whack when we cut our Comcast Cable. Now, by cancelling our Sling Orange and using Sling Blue they get nothing from us each month.

I have no option as far as Comcast goes - they're the only high-speed Internet provider where I live. They throw in a basic TV streaming package with the Internet service, so that's what I use, along with Netflix and Amazon Prime. It's far more content than my family can ever watch.

I think I’ll start counting virtue signaling and racial understanding qualifiers on these and the church shooting threads

This is precisely why we are getting stomped in the West

Hyper racial sensitivity and instant white apologists over anything with a hint of minority especially race

And the platitudes flow

We will never prevail at this rate

Trump gets it that at least we fight back

Trump’s full-scale culture war with the NFL

But definitely not the NFL's culture war on the U.S. and Trump's response to it on us normies' behalf.

It’s the BLM/NFL against America and Trump is our leader. Whom do you think will win?

See the picture at 48 and go look at Robert Kraft’s statement as team owner.

I, AGAIN, stand with President Trump in defending America. He’s not attacking the NFL, he is defending us, America.

The Left started the Culture War almost a century ago.

This is finally a return salvo.

Roger Goodell’s father, Charles Goodell (1926-1987), was a RINO Senator from New York, appointed to the position by Nelson Rockefeller after Robert Kennedy was assassinated, then losing to James Buckley in the 1970 election. Spiro Agnew called Charles Goodell the Christine Jorgensen of the Republican Party.

Note to the race-obsessed media: We don’t care about identity politics. When we hated Barney Frank, you said it was because he was gay and ignored the fact that he was a totalitarian big government liberal. When we hated Barack Hussein, you said it was because he was half black and ignored the fact that he was a totalitarian big government liberal. When we hated Hillary Clinton, you said it was because she was female and ignored the fact that she was a totalitarian big government liberal.

The fact is that real Americans are completely indifferent to the demographic details regarding politicians. To varying extents, we liked Governor Palin, Dr. Carson, Thomas Sowell, Nikki Haley, and many other politicians who are black, female, or both. That is because we judge individuals by the content of their character and not the color (or curves) of their skin. It’s a sentiment that appeals to decent people, and I keep hoping some day even democrats will discover our perspective, so that racism can disappear. The end of racism will come quickly without the leftist forces that keep bigotry on life support.
