It's like dat.
It doesn’t take much to adjust someone’s life to “No Football”. Trips to the park with the kids. Wife wants to go sight seeing. Lots of new things to do.
Sooner or later, but mostly likely at the next big opportunity-the next Collective Bargaining Agreement, the players will try to take over the league. They will demand part ownership.
Then, they will demand full ownership.
NFL football is done as far as I’m concerned. Even if they decide to honor the flag, never reverse my feelings.
NFL? Isn’t that a show on BET?
But what must be done, must be done.
In the past decade, the League pushed the price of admittance outside the border of maybe half (or more!) of any Trump voter.
Meanwhile, the NFL 'solves' the problem by hiring scumbags like Clinton fellow(ater) Joe Lockhart to run NFL Communications.
Meanwhile, the NFL 'solves' the problem by creating 'diversituh' VP positions for fatazz past players and plain-dumb problem makers.
Meanwhile, Goodell swings on a string while owners like Klein do a lot of backstage handrubbing and harrumping for Roger to bury this schizz quick, while a handful of Bobo-stylin' owners and of course the Players Union say we gon do what we wants.
For FReepers, the only solution is to get rid of ANY direct NFL funding like "NFL Ticket", NFL merch, any package you can live without that has the NFL (and really if you haven't cut cable, you're not alive). Also divert any funds, any MF/ETF/401k, that support the NFL, and redeploy those assets.
Ungreatful pukes can kiss my rear.
They genuinely don't understand. There is no "outreach" that balances out actively insulting our Anthem, our flag, our country, our military, and our ancestors three days a week. Some fans are gone forever and will not return no matter what. A few are gone but will return when all protests linked to the flag or the Anthem end.
Nothing short of unconditional surrender from the thugs and socialists will reverse even part of the damage. Further, continuing the protests will alienate more viewers. If you try to excitedly talk football around your patriotic friends, and they cut you off, you will eventually lose interest in the game. This will become an urban thug spectator sport rather than America's game soon enough.
Urban shopping malls are dying or dead, and the NFL will follow the same path for the same reason. White flight is just phase one.
If the NFL lost me of all people, I can only imagine how many others they’ve lost.
In other words, he pulled a Latrell Sprewell. I'm glad the jerk has such poor judgement that he walked away from that contract, consider it a visit from karma.
