Why America is falling out of love with football

New York Post ^ | September 3, 2017 | George Will

[TBP]

Well, that's one reason.

[BenLurkin]

[Secret Agent Man]

That is not the reason.

[Leaning Right]

Funny that George Will did not mention Colin Kaepernick. Maybe George just ran out of space.

[gaijin]

Meh.

B*tchy and political.

PASS.

[OKSooner]

Yes, it is a reason.

[Right Brother]

Concussions are not the only brain damage that NFL players and owners are suffering from.

[Vision]

Roger Goodell, Kaepercrap et all have character issues.

[TBP]

One of them. The National Anthem protests are another.

[gaijin]

crayola glasses + leather elbow patches = SPORTS FAN..?

Sorry, that doesn’t work.

[TBP]

It’s one of the reasons. The protests are the main one, but this doesn’t help any.

[SkyDancer]

It's becoming too politicized - Plus ESPN is the worst in play analysis.

[Fungi]

The man has a Ph.D., but his forte is baseball, not football. Shut up George. Whenever you conflate sports and politics, nothing makes sense, especially in this case. You forgot Kaperpunk, but not by accident.

[Jimmy The Snake]

I think George Will has CTE from pounding his head against the wall thumping the conservative agenda

[miss marmelstein]

What a fag Will is.

[newfreep]

1. The anti-American protests
2. Overexposure with Thursday night games
3. A finger to America with London games
4. Growing number of NFL thugs

Just to name a few...

[right way right]

Chris Rock was right.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The real reason is the reason that dare not be mentioned. It's the elephant in the room so to speak, or rather choose another animal in the menagerie.

The lawyers are sharpening their sticks.

Notice every time the ‘lack of participation’ of fans comes up, the injury factor gets mentioned.

When the players ‘talk’ themselves out of a job, watch the head injuries become a Racial Issue because THE WHITE MAN used Black Players - and unfairly cut some White Players - just so they could get more Blacks in a position to get permanent damage.

Hope one NEVER brings up the Christians vs the Lions in the ‘Old Roman Days’ as the Blacks will liken themselves as the Christians being thrown to the Lions(WHITE OWNERS and share holders) just to exploit the Black man for the Sport of the White People and Drug Dealers to bet on.

Johnny Cochrane is itching to come back...

[dowcaet]

I miss the days of John Madden and Pat Summerall on CBS. One talked too much and the other one didn’t say enough, but they balanced each other and made any game they broadcast an enjoyable one to watch.
