Kapernick is like Obama.

I am probably reaching here, but I think the NFL ratings decline could be the election in microcosm.

The NFL, like the government/media/political class, is a powerful entity that is increasingly out of touch with the people who give it power. There is no Trump figure in the NFL scenario, but the silent majority reaction to leftist posturing may be just a precursor to the monster vote in November.

Let's hope.

I've heard crazier theories. It's like Chick-Fil-A in reverse. This is a conservative country. All the "bigger than the game" crap is wearing thin, commercials getting worse and worse. Amy Schumer, really? It will take a concerted effort for the NFL to win fans back. They are businessmen, they're not stupid. This just blindsided most of them. That being said, I have no sympathy for the owners that are tone-deaf limousine liberals.

You are right in the sense that people are tired of the p.c. crap. But, having said that, we will have to vote for Trump in such massive numbers that the voter fraud, that we know is rampant for the Hillary, can be massively overcome.
