And the entire situation seems to be reaching a tipping point.

And that tipping point is going to be attendance and revenue for the NFL and the NBA. MLB too, if they choose to get into politics as well. The main fan base for the NFL is white and middle-aged. A lot of them are Trump voters. It's one thing to let one or two players disrespect the flag during the national anthem - it's another to get involved so completely in a culture war against the president and conservatives.

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.

It’s a win-win for Trump. The losers who spit on our national anthem and those who support them were never going to support Trump under any circumstances. On the other hand, Trump looks to solidify support among people already backing him as well as winning over some Democrats who are fed up with the anti-American hate that the Democrat Party is supporting.

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.
