(vanity) Boycotting NFL = Key to Collapsing the MSM

Vanity

[TigerClaws]

ABC / CBS / NBC need to go. Turns out the NFL is key to their profits.

Check out this story:

The key worry here is the idea that the networks are dependent on the NFL and its huge ratings. If the NFL suddenly collapses or just regresses, those huge revenue streams that are driving the networks will start to slow.

Along with displaying the absolute lack of respect shown to our nation and flag by players not standing for our national anthem, turns out key to putting these PRAVDA media centers out of business is just one click away!

Conservatives are 20-30% of the country. They likely are over half of the football viewers. A good percentage of us doing something else with our Sunday time could ax the revenue streams propping up these evil companies, which have weaponized all content against traditional American values.

We also need laws that mega-companies can't own newspapers in major markets.

Bezos purchased WASHINGTON POST and operates at a loss, but it gives Amazon political power. It's 24/7 non-stop anti-Trump right now. Presumably Amazon, Facebook, and Google have cut deals with Hillary to continue to pay no taxes in the United States in exchange for helping her get elected.

Any other thoughts on what we can do to destroy the existing media powers in this country?

Trump's streaming 'network news' is a nice start. With internet access on most TVs, we can compete with a direct to net network with comparatively little start up cost and regulation.

NFL gone. Then what? Some idiot does the same thing in baseball, and we go after MLB? Someone does something in the NBA, and we shut them down?

I guess it is sad, nut the NFL could have gotten a handle on this but chose to support the BLM players. Sorry, but they should never have put fans in a position where they were asked to support people who disrespect the flag, the country and the fans. It's not your grandfather's NFL.

The American people are waking up...and that’s a good thing.

If you can't go cold turkey then only watch your team. if your team is not playing, don't turn on NFL games. An don't watch the highlights shows on ESPN, FSN or the NFL network. Stay away from the pre-game shows as well. Above all, no NFL merchandise!

You will be surprised how much that will impact them.

The NFL is not an icon...stop putting so much on weight on a game and marketing engine.

Go to your local high school game, they will more than appreciate the clapping from you!

I am an avid football fan, and I have not watched one — not ONE! — pro football game this season. College football, you bet! But NFL? Hell NO!

[Paladin2]

A good way to start defunding the left.

[Alberta's Child]

If we were to drive the NFL out of business, we will have lost an American ICON.

I would suggest that referring to any form of vicarious entertainment -- particularly through television -- as an "American ICON" is a symptom of a nation that is dying. No offense -- but the sooner we get over that mindset, the better off we'll be.

This attitude is how we end up with bankrupt cities that can't even afford to keep the streets paved soaking their taxpayers for billion-dollar entertainment venues that only get used 10-15 times a year. There is absolutely nothing "iconic" about that, and I'd suggest there ought to be nothing American about it, either.

Find something else to do on a Sunday, and you'll be amazed at how silly and pointless the whole thing really is.

“......... rid of the bad seeds and keep the NFL”...........

Tough decision, where the hell would you start picking the “bad seeds”?

[mykroar]

They had the game on at the restaurant last night. Brother noticed one of the Broncos doing the kneel-down. I don’t watch much football as it is, but none at all this year.

[Rockitz]

I haven’t watched a snap all year. I may watch the SuperBowl.

[joshua c]

The thing that disturbs me about this effort, is here we are trying to drive something very Americana out of business.

We have to destroy the PCNFL to save football.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

There needs to be more discussion of going Galt and how to effectively do it.

None of that matters....... the black political message was and is being delivered

[stinkerpot65]

Same for leftist ESPN thugs.

Btw, Michael Moore - yes THAT Michael Moore - all but endorsed Trump
Hey, even a blind fat squirrel finds an, ahem, ACORN once in a while.

[Twinkie]

I don’t give a fig about sports, especially professional
sports OR television in general. Gave up soap operas about
45 yrs. ago, then t.v. for the most part. It all has become
PRAVDA to me. The media is so in the tank for Hitler-y
Clintoon it’s comical. Our little local newspapers,
of course, always endorse the Dhimmicrat no matter if he’s
just an old yellow dog (& I love dogs, too).

[Impala64ssa]

Look how much major sports LOVE the mayhem when they release a new pair of Air Jordans.
It would be a good thing if Michael Jordan were to do some PSA, with Black Friday approaching to admonish the "homies" to "chill" and quit acting like savages whenever a new Air Jordan sneaker is released. But lately he's too preoccupied threatening to move the NBA all star game out of NC because of the bathroom bill. BTW if he's so opposed to "gender segregation" he can set an example by working to merge the WNBA into the NBA, the way NBA took over remnants of the old ABA back in the 70's (Nets, Spurs, Pacers, Nuggets). Then call on the other leagues and the NCAA to end the practice of "gender specific" teams.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the response.

[DoughtyOne]

Things don’t always turn out the way we think.

To these folks, it’s just a lack of interest in the sport.

Who is going to step up to create a new league when the last one was abandoned?

I appreciate hearing the alternate view. Take care.
