What’s an NFL?

Great question.

But disturbing at the same time (that it is a serious question).

The annual Super Bowl is just about the Holy Grail of terrorist targets.

Why would they want to attack the NFL which encourages players who hate the flag and America to kneel. These players are closely aligned with terrorists.

The Super Bowl, given its extremely high profile and large crowd, has been designated a “National Security Special Event” for many years. It is a fat, obvious target for Islamic extremists and nut jobs of all kinds.

They get all kinds of federal and state security help.

D*mn, will have to clean the toilets during the Super Bowl.
At least what I’ll see will have fewer convictions.

Islamic extremists don’t subdivide us, we are all targets, even Colin Kapernick. A successful attack on the Super Bowl would be their wildest dream come true.

I am definitely boycotting the Super Bowl even to the point of declining an invitation from a very good friend to attend his Super Bowl party. When the Super Bowl ratings are significantly down, the NFL might, might I say, finally get the magnitude of the disaster they created by allowing the players to drive away fans.

one thing is sure, CK will not be in the super bowl. But the league could honor him by letting him do the coin toss. Maybe he can be the analyst on the sideline or in the booth.

I despise the NFL for many reasons but mainly because of their blatant cowardice in the false narrative of BLM. This from the people who will have that human swill Ludacris performing at the Super Bowl. Of course, he won’t sing any of the lyrics in the links below. But make no mistake, he made his bread and butter by peddling filthy misogyny. Below is a email I sent to my local newspaper.

No doubt you aware that Ludacris will be performing at this year’s Super Bowl. How sad. Check out the lyrics from two of his beautiful ballads linked below. Unfortunately, that’s where we are as a society. Of course none of this will be known as it is so vile that it can’t be printed. It comes in under the radar and understandably so.
I’m a man of fairly hardened sensibilities but this is hard to take. Why doesn’t the Express-News report on this man and his “art?” Do you even care? Apparently the NFL doesn’t. This is exactly what I’d expect from the NFL. It’s a chance to show their hipness and relevance to the youngsters in the audience I suppose. This misogynist has the clear imprimatur of the NFL. I wonder what the National Organization for Women thinks about it? Do they even know? How about an interview with a local rep from that group? Not a chance, I’d say. Lord knows, we can’t rock the boat.
How far we’ve fallen. I remember a line from Larry McMurtry’s ‘Horseman, Pass By’. The words were spoken by Hud’s father Homer Bannon: “Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire. You’re just going to have to make up your own mind one day about what’s right and wrong.” Unfortunately, no one in positions of authority in the media even care.
It all brings to mind the words of William Butler Yeats in his poem ‘The Second Coming’ (it is from Yeats that we get the words ‘Horseman Pass By’ and ‘No Country For Old Men’):

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world;
The blood-dimmed is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

That’s where we are. Shame on the NFL and their blatant race-baiting.

Yes. Remember “Black Sunday” with Bruce Dern? As I remember, it was a pretty decent book, too.

Any form that asks for RACE - I always select “Other”, and if prompted to write in, I select “HUMAN”. If it actually requests “ETHNICITY”, I select multiple, as I am a Heinz 57 Natural Born American (consisting of English, French, Creole, American Indian, and with sickle cell trait, possibly African).

I got a long form for the census one year. In the instructions, it said to write in race and they gave a picture example as such:

R A C E.

So that’s what I did. I wrote in RACE and didn’t answer most of the questions.
They sent the census police out to the house to try and get more info. They got nada.
They came back and I flat out told them to cite me and fine me. Never did.

If true, you are correct!

Great way to alienate the remaining portion of the fans still watching.

I think before long the NFL will start refusing to sign white athletes. And long before that, the whole thing will have jumped the shark. I heard a bunch of men in a bar in Nashville talking about how they don’t like the NFL anymore and would rather watch college football.

The MBL/NFL continues to roll down hill - couldn’t happen to a more deserving much of scumbags.
