“Going forward, military flyovers of MFL games should include a bomb drop.”

Going forward military flyovers of NFL games should be ended to save taxpayer money. Flyovers are a public subsidy of a private business. No different than taxpayers paying for stadiums. A nation more than $20 trillion in debt should not be subsidizing the business of billionaire oligarch team owners.

Not showing the protests doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

It’s like the media. “If we don’t report on it, it didn’t happen”.

Not gonna fly

The only thing Kahn and the others respect is money. So cut the flow and get their attention.

Same here. If I was in charge the military would have no part of the NFL. No fly overs, no honor guards, no TV ads. The NFL should be dead to the DoD.

Goodell and Colin, we thank you for being BLM/NFL useless idiots! You woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and in our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!

Or fly straight up over the field and break the sound barrier with several planes a few seconds apart!

Breaking: ESPN Sets Stage to Cut NFL, Nixes NFL Language from Contracts

Conservative Tribune [compilation] ^ | Benjamin Arie

Posted on 10/31/2017, 11:51:26 AM by righttackle44

It looks like the left-leaning political bloviating has finally caught up to the troubled ESPN network.

Not long ago, the sports channel was forced to admit that lecturing Americans about politics wasn’t exactly a smart business plan. With revenue dropping, ESPN had no choice but to drastically eliminate staff — but now it may be considering an even more dramatic cut.

The Hollywood Reporter has suggested that there are signs the struggling sports company may be getting ready to walk away from the NFL.

ESPN’s contract to air Monday Night Football games is expiring fairly soon… and some experts think the sports giant won’t be renewing that agreement.

Excerpt, go to link below for full article:

It does not matter. I am not watching and I am not coming back to the NFL.

That would make two of us. My Sunday's are much more productive and relaxing. Not yelling at the TV how much the Chicago Bears SUCK has made my life much more pleasant!

Disney shares on track for worst day since May 2016 amid ESPN issues

By Thomas Barrabi Published August 09, 2017 Media & Advertising FOXBusiness

Disney releases third-quarter earnings
FBN’s Nicole Petallides on Disney’s 3rd quarter earnings.
Disney (DIS) shares are on track for their largest single-day drop in more than a year on Wednesday, hours after the company said struggles at ESPN contributed to a major decline in operating income at its cable networks.

Operating income at Disney’s cable networks dropped to $1.5 billion in the third quarter, down 23% from the same period one year earlier. The company attributed the downturn to higher programming costs associated with ESPN’s new NBA contract and lower advertising revenue amid decreased viewership.

Disney’s stock fell more than 4% in early trading. If shares close below that threshold when trading ends on Wednesday, it will mark Disney’s first single-day drop of 4% since May 2016, according to Dow Jones.

Most important is you must write letters to the advertisers you are boycotting so they can connect the dots.

The most important 'protest' is NOT WATCHING...
