Here in Dallas Cowboys country, where I live, anticipation is building. Has quarterback Dak Prescott healed sufficiently to bring the promise of playoff hopes back to the franchise?
Prescott's first duel will be against Tom Brady, as the Cowboys travel to Tampa Bay Thursday night to kick off the 2021 NFL season. We are not out of the COVID woods yet, but actual fans will be in the stands as the season begins—a welcome prospect after last year's eerie, empty stadiums.
The Cowboys have enjoyed a particular visibility boost in the preseason as the subject of this year's HBO Hard Knocks documentary, an inside look at famous players gearing up for a new year alongside motivated youngsters scrapping to make the team.
Add it all up, and after a stretch of heavily dampened enthusiasm, I was ready to approach my lifetime favorite sport with fresh eyes. The new season brings the promise of caring as I used to care before legions of players began insulting my country by kneeling during the national anthem.
That seems like a distant memory. The NFL should be primed to welcome back fans after COVID and social justice activism drove so many away. But now comes news of additional scoldings delivered via NFL uniforms and playing fields. Ostensibly meant to inspire us to better ourselves, this messaging is in fact one more example of woke corporate America mobilizing to characterize us as a racist culture in dire need of upbraiding at every turn.

Good. Get it over with. The more woke the better. No sense half measuring your own demise. Hit that street with a good splat if you insist on taking the woke leap from high heights.
Yeah. Been done with them for a few years now. MLB too. Screw em
Only because Newsweek sees the NFL as being on their side now. So it’s okay to dangle a carrot or two out to conservatives if they think it’ll lure you back into the NFL indoctrination event.
Sports are out.
Hollywood movies are out
Cable tv ...Facebook..Twitter..Target.Starbucks...
Yes, you may be right. I didnt see that angle.
Between the woke-ness and ALL the game stoppages to review the last play, they lost me a many years ago.
I can't stand the Dims winning the culture war, though. I feel the NFL fans have been duped. Before the Colon kneeler the Dims tried to ban the NFL (remember the concussion "scandal") and that didn't work. So they highlighted a few Blame Lighter Melanins players to make it sound like that represented the majority of the players. The left didn't have many fans watching football anyway, so the conservatives could have won this battle if they wanted. They could have made a point to buy jerseys of the many players who knelt only to Jesus, instead of being duped into assuming all the players bought into that nonsense. Then virtually all the players did acquiesce and join the Big Lyin Morons until the American loving fans saw the NFL as being against them.
So in the end the Dims got what they wanted. They're destroying the NFL.
All those marketing geniuses that the NFL pays.... have they not realized that this arrogance and lecturing drives fans away? In droves.
Biden is forever 4th and long on his own 1 yd line.
LOL! Wonder what the pay is... and what is the job description?
I wonder....
” They’re destroying the NFL.”
What’s the bad news?
It IS that simple.
The warfare between Good and Evil IS that simple.
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I feel like we've given the Dims a blueprint on how to destroy anything else that's enjoyed by only conservatives.
Yeah, the Laughingstock Football League that shot itself in the head but still desires credibility.
They are in the quicksand and they cannot get out, so they pretend that everything is really just fine.
Whatever, I am tuned out. Go play and encourage your sponsors to spend more on your anti American BS.
I’ve passed on the NFL. Will do the same this Season.
Football is gay now sooooo.
No, they’ll just start playing the black national anthem to drown them out.
Spend your money on your families instead of the NFL low life’s. My Sunday is much better without it for sure
