You’re missing the underlying liberal plan here. Liberals hate team sports. They primarily like individual ones like kayaking, or swimming, skiing and the like. But a “brute” team sport like foothall has got to go. Not politically correct. So they are undermining it in any way they can. It is a constant attack now.

ESPN is full of liberal bias, as is most of the MSM. They are helping to ruin the very sport that helps to give them their paycheck. And the rest of the liberal MSM chimes in with their faux outrage over any incident that arises where they can instantly attack the sport of football by associating it with violent behavior by the men that participate in it on and off the field. And then tag the sport itself as the causs of such violence.

Don’t let them ruin the sport by turning against it that is the exact outcome they want. It is not the sport itself but the portrayal of it by the MSM and liberals. Do not let them accomplish their end by fslling into their trap. It isn’t football, it’s how the libs color it to achieve their own ends. Stick with the sport to save it, otherwise the enemy wins.

Excellent post with some refreshing original thoughts in it.

It might just give pause to all those who are "through with pro football forever"....who don't realize they're playing the leftists' game and handing them the game ball before leaving the field.

I only watch ESPN now during actual live sporting events and not their news shows or commentary shows. The reason is that it seems they care more about social commentary then the actual results and dynamics of the sports itself. It is nothing but progressive, liberal sounding rhetoric that is basically political correctness and not sports itself.

The sports media in general seems to be dictating what is acceptable and not acceptable especially in context with politically correct ideals and what the punishment should be. Until the sports organizations and management start ignoring or rebuking the sports media in their attempts to force political correctness then it is only going to get worse. Sports will no longer mainly be about on the field play but an avenue to promote social commentary.

I feel that this was a tragic incident but there is no need for it to be talked about ad nauseam at the expense of the actual sport itself. What happened to the days when analysts actually talked mostly about the on the field play?
