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

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. "Its the countrys most widespread entertainment obsession. Its absence tells voters, particularly Trumps 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".

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...)

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