The NFL’s top corporate sponsors haven’t expressed any concern about the unprecedented wave of player national anthem protests this weekend, a league spokesman said Monday.
NFL players engaged in widespread demonstrations on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump called on the league’s owners to fire ‘son of a [expletive]’ who kneel during the pregame national anthem. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the vast majority of the league’s 32 owners issued statements in solidarity with players and condemned Trump for engaging in divisive rhetoric.
“We talk to our sponsors all the time, whether it’s raining or the sun is out. We’ve talked to them, we keep them informed. I haven’t heard of a single issue of a sponsor that is worried or has raised particular issue about the weekend,” NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart told reporters during a conference call Monday.
Drive McDonalds’ per-ticket transaction average down to $1.13, and believe me, that will grab the attention of senior management.
I wonder how many times they’ve knelt in protest of all the kids who are killed in gang shootings.
Is there a list yet of NFL sponsors?
Why, yes...there IS!!
Here is the posted thread, with list....

Now, keep in mind that the cocky, globalist, leftist NFL is now saying that their sponsors don’t really give a flip if we boycott...

And not all of the black males who watch the NFL are cop-hating Leftist America Haters either.

> The NFL should donate all of this year’s tv revenues to the NAACP.
Screw the NAACP. Send the money to Puerto Rico to help American Citizens in need.
Remains to be seen, if they will be able to sell any of those multi-mill superbawl ads.
Lockhart is flat out lying. This is the greatest boycott in US history. The sponsors have to be calling non stop.
Well done Harley Lady! Well done!
Oh yeah?
A local large car dealer in Colorado (Phil Long Ford) just dropped Von Miller from being used in its commercials.
Hiring a propagandist for a sexual predator as their spokesman is no better than hiring criminals to play the game.
Sears didn't care much about customers either. Neither did JC Penney's, Target, Macy's ....
And sit in line while you explain to the cashier why you are cancelling the order you placed at the outside box.
Not sure if there is a ‘contract’ once you punch your order in but the courts will fill up fast AND hope the misdemeanor judge is PRO PRO American.
Players have no right to use the NFL events to protest what ever it is that they think they are protesting. In fact League rules prohibit it and demand respect for out precious anthem and flag https://news.grabien.com/story-roger-goodell-ignoring-leagues-own-rule-book-letting-players.
Take any entertainment venue as an example. If you are an actor or entertainer , you have no right to stop your performance and launch into a political protest— NEVER!! That is grounds for firing.
Goodell was a stickler for rules on the inflated ball issue but here he ditches the clearly stated rule. Is he afraid to stand up.
Rush is right. Trump has whipped their ass. America stands with our President . They are all a bunch of SOBs!!
Remember he who controls the remote controls the NFL and ESPN. Keep it simple people we own them.
Yes!!! Now, blacks and the left have declared the National Anthem and our flag are white supremacist symbols. This division is irreparable and patriotic expression is unacceptable. Colin Kapernick is a hero somehow.
AND 52% women!
Nothing is going to change as long as the sponsors keep writing checks to the TV Networks.
Looks like the NFL, the TV Networks and their sponsors are going to hunker down and try to ride out this protest. I think the boycott will work but it is going to take awhile.
Me? I don’t care. I’m never watching the NFL again. Now I will start to work on boycotting their sponsors.
Yep, the NFL just committed professional suicide, they really did. Did you see this yet? Steelers fans burning their gear.......
