Goodell and the owners are crony-capitalist, elitist, political and media whores, who would pursue any government, media, marketing angle to increase revenue. Having done this for years, they have worked their way into the graces and leftist mindset of our political/financial elites. They'll take money from the Dept. of Defense to promote the military, while at the same time allow the likes of Kaepernick to conduct his protests for 2 years.
they are completely amoral. Trump has simply forced them to publicly choose, and now they are lost and confounded.
That was excellent analysis. I admit I wondered sometimes why Obama used to mention ESPN so often. I hadn’t realized what a hand and glove relationship some in the sports world had formed with Obama-type leftists.
Good for Trump for forcing the issue. It needed to be exposed to sunlight so that we could all see what had happened.
