Haha.
All I have to say is this, I'm a taxpaying American citizen. If some histrionic keyboard warrior wants to make me out to be Hitler for watching tv and picking winners of games, so be it. I'll trim my mustache and they can get their kicks on the River Styx. I'll only kneel to God, never to some dude on the Internet.
I understand the feelings of those who think that the NFL should collapse and disappear as a result of this, but I think they are seeing it incorrectly.
We all know that one of the goals of the Left (and who epitomizes the Left more than the Social Justice Warriors who prey on weak-minded or outright corrupt football players like Colin Kapernick et al) is the destruction of American culture and society as we know it.
Professional, College, and High School football is, and has been part and parcel of American culture.
In the 20th century and beyond, we have watched professional sports such as football on weekends with friends, at family gatherings at holidays, and men at war have avidly followed it all over the globe as a reminder of home and American culture.
There are few things culturally as “American” as football, and I am not talking about soccer.
It is an undeniably violent sport, it has winners and losers, generates a lot of capitalist revenue, and is undeniably masculine.
These are all things the Left wants to destroy, and they have figured out a way to do it by using a portion (which is by no means all of them) the idiotic, weak-minded players as a weapon against themselves. The league and its franchises, in their craven desire not to be called racist, has buckled and allowed them to hijack their brand (for many people) and that is a real problem they will have to address.
But that is how the left operates. I will not cooperate with them on this. We should keep what is ours.
