“I do believe that the left wants to cause great damage to the NFL,” Limbaugh said. “What does the NFL stand for? Masculinity, strength, toughness. So, what are they doing to it?”
He continued that the left is using NFL players to destroy the league because “they don’t like displays of patriotism, strength, rugged individualism.” He continued, “they think it’s about police brutality, they think it’s about righting social wrongs, and so forth. This is an attack on the NFL as an institution for shaking it down and lowering its profile and impact on American culture. We’re in the midst of a culture war. Everybody knows it.”
