according to fox, former clinton spokesperson joe Lockhart is now the designated NFL spokesperson and fox said that this signals a hard line from NFL to the WH. To me it indicates a prior defacto capitulation of the NFL to liberal politics. That seems inappropriate and it seems justified that NFL be perceived, now, as just another (liberal) political entity.
I am on travel now but when i get back i will renew my earlier investigation into unsubscribing from liberal entities as part of my cable tv subscription, even if i have to pay a penalty for early cancellation (a while ago i signed onto a multi-year agreement). (If they get their money from my cancellation then it might be a wash.)
This might actually be an indication of something else more intriguing.
Lockhart was hired as the NFL spokesman in February 2016 -- which coincided exactly with the start of the primary season for the 2016 presidential election campaign. This makes me wonder if the whole Colin Kaepernick stage act and the silly orc tantrums on the sidelines was intended to be part of a political campaign all along.
This would explain why the NFL, its owners and its players are in a state of obvious confusion and disarray right now -- and clearly don't know how to deal with the situation they're facing.
They never expected Donald Trump to be in the White House.
