The NFL is lost. Why anyone continues to watch and financially support it, is beyond me.

The NFL is lost.

After that non-call in the Saints/Rams game, I believe it.

Professional athletes and all of those associated with the “sport,” are entertainers. When an entertainer chooses to disrespect our country’s flag, and the commissioner and owners do little or nothing about it, the “game” ceases to be part of my life. An entertainer has no right to “make a statement” about anything when he is on the field or when he represents his team, league or sport.
Now, when the race of any of those who entertain becomes important, we are allowing social issues to replace the business of entertaining. The business demands performance. If the coach or player under performs, he or she is gone.
Mixing racial considerations with performance is a loser. It has not proved successful in business or sports.
Stop the madness.
