“The NFL is experiencing the Trump Effect.”

I’m especially looking forward to when the Trump Effect hits our public schools and colleges.

I'm done with NFL. Not just league management but disreputable players and owners. I started to get a bad taste in my mouth when they quickly got rid of Hank Williams Jr. singing his iconic Monday Night Football song after he criticized Obama. And replaced him with Carrie Underwood.

Then it became more and more PC with things like breath cancer awareness while making the U.S. DoD pay for appearances honoring the U.S. military.

Then the NFL sat silently and allowed players to make BLM/black power demonstrations in regarding to police shootings of thugs, while they banned any symbols for slain cops.

And it's weird how Goodell went after Brady so vigorously over the relatively minor or bogus ball inflation PSI issue. Especially when Brady went on after the controversy and won the Super Bowl and got MVP under close PSI monitoring. You had MIT engineers and Harvard scientists (albeit in Patriot country) disputing the PSI claims against the NFL. Goodell's actions and punishment were unpopular with most fans and even left even Patriot haters stunned. But he was obviously backed up by the powers that be and no doubt was related to Brady having a "Make America Great Again" hat in his locker and saying good things about Trump.

-—The NFL is experiencing the Trump Effect-—

Not really...this has been building for some time...

The NFL lack of control on this issue was the straw that broke the camels back.

It been a long time coming...
