The Nation: NFL Part of Trump Re-election Campaign, Risking Players' Lives
newsbusters.org ^

Posted on 05/09/2020 10:51:15 AM PDT by Conserv

It's "official" now: conscience-lacking NFL owners are part of President Donald Trump's re-election project, says Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation magazine. Unbelievably, so is ESPN! They're all willing to risk lives and support the president's re-election campaign by going ahead with the NFL season this fall. "He and his cronies want the games back, even if it means watching from hermetically sealed bunkers while the players risk their lives," writes Zirin.

"Culturally, there is no greater sign of normalcy than the NFL coming back into the routine of our lives," Zirin says. "It’s the country’s most widespread entertainment obsession. Its absence tells voters, particularly Trump’s base, that after all these months, we are still in an unconscionable and unnecessary death spiral."

It’s a liberal rag.

Thankfully, I haven’t seen Katrina what’s her name in ages.

It’s one of the benefits of being strictly antenna TV.

sports editor for The Nation magazine.

"The Nation" has a sports editor?! That sounds like the easiest job in the world. That's like being the Parisian fashion editor for "Guns & Ammo".

“It’s a liberal rag.”


Yeah, I knew that—although I’d call them a communist rag. Surprised that they have a sports section.

Geez, this “reporter” isn’t even bothering to mix his DemHack Kool-Aid with water. He’s chugging it dry straight from the package.

(Or maybe he’s snorting it...)

while the players risk their lives," writes Zirin

Yeah, right. It’s not like they’re going to war or staffing an ambulance.

But let abortions go on unchecked. Those can’t possibly be risking anyone’s life, except the poor souls being expunged.
