The NFL Is a Disgrace - The great American game of football puts politics first and Americans last.

How stupid and offensive was the the Super Bowl halftime show? Here’s a game that has evolved over the decades to become an unofficial American holiday and long shared a patriotic spirit similar to that felt during Fourth of July celebrations. It has created and sustained tremendous brand value for the National Football League. But rather than protect that investment, Roger Goodell and the NFL lit it on fire for laughs.

Or to make a political statement… I guess. Because it’s pretty difficult to ignore the intended message of “entertainers” singing in a foreign language, waving foreign flags, and simulating raunchy sex while promoting open borders and endless immigration. We get it. All non-English-speaking foreigners intend to invade America, have many babies, and take over the country. I’m surprised Goodell didn’t recite some soppy poem proclaiming that America’s greatness depends entirely on non-Americans from not-so-great places breaking in, fleecing taxpayers, and voting for the same awful policies that made their wretched homelands not-so-great in the first place. Maybe next year the Somalis who have conquered Minnesota can perform their famous ritual dance in which they commit social welfare fraud while laughing at all the stupid Americans willing to commit suicide-by-cop for their sacred honor.

I am so tired of seeing foreign flags being waved in my country. Where else in the world would such behavior be tolerated? Do the multicultural zealots among us actually believe that citizens in China, Mexico, Iran, Pakistan, or Russia would just sit back and clap every time an American interloper ran through their streets waving Old Glory? They’d get curb-stomped before having a chance to teach the locals that “diversity is our strength.” The idea of taking over entire neighborhoods in foreign lands and proclaiming them “Little Americas” is not well received in countries that

The leftists in the EU seem to be self-loathers too.

It’s the Globalization of Sports.

Ask any old-time English soccer fan, they despise what the Premier League has become, because all they care about is their global fanbase, the local fans can go to hell.

The left has politicized every single aspect of our lives.

Aspects of it are demeaning to fantastic athletes who have worked very hard for much of their lives. The programming presented to the public is often detrimental to the event.

Malcolm X warned about the Liberal Foxes.Roger Gödel has put the death nail into the NFL and the minorities and their liberal cheerleaders are lapping it up as a win just like Obama and LBJ.Same plantation just different escape route.

The illegal immigrants reaching our shores today grab taxpayer-funded debit cards, live in public housing, vote unlawfully, and game the social welfare system for maximum benefit.

Hey, don't forget about the "cultural enrichment" of rape, murder, and theft.

Forget about the halftime show. The author of this piece would do well to get over this stupid idea that “America” should be defined by a form of vicarious entertainment where tens of millions of people spend four hours watching a series of TV advertisements punctuated by 12-15 minutes of football.

All this fuss just because somebody at NBC pressed 2 instead of pressing 1 for English for the half-time show.

The NFL evidently likes to rush in and tarnish.

The 2026 celebrations are about to start and the NFL jumps in with an event that tarnishes America.

Sort of like what their new kickoff rule does to the opening of the game that Trump rightfully attacks. Historically, the spectators excitement builds up, there is a coin toss, and the starting kickoff serves as a natural flow for the emotion. But no, no, the NFL can’t have that now, that historical ebullience is tamped down with the ridiculous new kickoff rules which mandates a half-assed, wounded, start off of the game.

Minor correction, the NFL puts owner profits first, politics second and that’s it. They don’t care about fans, players or cities.

Yep.
  • It is why they hate Christianity...because it is a distraction from energies that would be better used to support "The Party".

  • It is why they hate the Family..because it is a distraction from energies that would be better used to support "The Party".

  • It is why they hate sports..because it is a distraction from energies that would be better used to support "The Party".
For them, it must be ALL "The Party" ALL the time.

NFL = Not For Long

Professional football is quickly going down the “diversity, equity, inclusion” path, which in human terms, is a highly toxic recipe for eventual suicide.

The game itself sucked. The halftime show was an abomination. The NFL is a disgrace.

Until attendance at the games, and watching the games on TV and online,and sales of NFL merch drops significantly this will continue.

This Super Bowl was totally worthless

The halftime show was a disaster and a lot of people tuned out after the half
