Your entire post is a non-sequitur and ignores the history of the Left trying to ban football since the days of Presidnet TR, as well as attacking it now.
None of what you stated has no bearing to the central argument that the Left hates football. The crony capitalism is a completely different subject matter altogether.
Here are the facts:
- The NFL is a strong supporter of the U.S. military
- The NFL promotes community pride
- The NFL promotes racial harmony
- The NFL has made a number of blacks from the inner-cities into multi-millionaires
THAT is precisely why the Left is attacking the game now
You deal in myth, while I deal in reality. You list the sizzle, while I show the steak. How much more crony capitalism do you need then the billions of the taxpayer’s money that is spent on pro sports franchises, NFL included. The Left could ban football tomorrow if they wanted to. But I haven’t seen one ultra leftist university president, and they all are leftists, lift a finger to shut down their football team. Who makes a fortune off the NFL on Sunday night’s, that’s right, the same people who bring you MSNBC. Chris Collingsworth and Rachel Maddow have the same signature on their paychecks. No my friend, the left has no incentive to shutdown the game of football, a game that finances their high living lifestyles from the money made on the game. From the Democrat owners, University Presidents, and the Network Honchos. Without the money the NFL makes for NBC, where would they get the half mil to pay Chelsea Clinton. If you ever at a Redskins game take a gander at the luxury boxes and you will see Harry Reid eating his shrimp cocktail in one of them. Since TR was a big government guy, a progressive I think he considered himself, the myth was how a leftist like TR saved the game.
