There was enough national discontent with the kneelfests to press for their discontinuance. Still, one might be sad. Why is sports supposed to be the supreme expression of national identity? Seems to me this is about crowing at a success in shooting fish in a barrel.
Anyone who thinks something was won in the NFL flap when they are still going forward with handing a hundred million to hard left activist groups is not paying attention.
Trump has shown conservatives the need to fight. He has accomplished so much in spite of overwhelming adversity. Fight on!
We can thank Donald Trump for a lot, but near the top is that he pulled a lot of masks off and showed what our so called allies really are, fellow travelers and gracious losers. The “Washington Generals” of the Harlem Globetrotter league.
No need to get all upset how they want one behavior (decency) from us, but refuse to give it. That’s the plan.
Let’s stop chattering like Rush Limbaugh’s interminable fake outrage at the media. It’s too known now that “the media” = leftist propaganda. Stop taking from it and giving it legitimacy, even with outrage. We need to mock, Polarize, and diminish it. Start right now.
Good article.
real conservatives are warming up the helicopters
Players = just jocks w/o their straps. The only place balls are found is on the field.
With no protection, their antics will be seen by no one.
The jig is up.
RIP NFL your day in the sun has been eclipsed.
Too little, too late.
The other day, I was cleaning out my closet and found my Green Bay Packers sweatshirt that I used to love.
I happily tossed it in the garbage. I’m through with the NFL.
I am not a conservative. I am a nationalist. I am interested in the future of my children and grandchildren more than I am in “conservative principles”, and I will act to preserve the future of my kids, and my friends kids, by whatever means necessary.
Kurt rocks!!!!
I’d rather die as a free man on my feet than live as a slave on my knees.

Bread and circuses.
The title could just as well been:
“Why Trump uses Twitter.”
We have no wall.. trillions in spending.. a bunch of pave pave America plans. Syrians, more h1bs, if this is not bowing, then we are in more trouble than we know.
I can’t tell much from this article, but there have been a series of articles that pretty much go like this:
1) You (conservatives) won - the players are now going to ACT more like they love America.
2) Some still won’t, and they’ll stay in the locker room, and then slip on to the sidelines, hopefully with no one noticing.
3) Now shut up conservatives and PLEASE start SPENDING MONEY on football again. And, as a first step, PLEASE renew those season tickets, so that we can at least keep our gravy train going for another year.
As I’ve noted before, stopping the ‘in your face’ protests (as they’re trying here) will NOT work. They let that opportunity slip right through their hands when the owners sided with Conlin in the early days of the ‘protests’.
They need to do MUCH MORE than what they’ve done, to have any chance. I would suggest the following:
1) Take the $90M per year you plan to lecture us with about race and instead put it in a fund to pay for the educational expenses of kids who have lost parents, due to cop killings - if anything is left over, send it to the survivors for real-time expenses.
2) Apologize to the country and THANK the country for giving you guys such amazing career opportunities, both in football and throughout society. Tell football fans that even though you may think (correctly), that there is still racism in the country, it DOES NOT occur on the field, and protesting it has no business there either.
3) SUSPEND the players who act up during the National Anthem, including stay in the locker room. Act up - you get to SIT OUT the entire game, without pay. That simple. Don’t blame the team with a meaningless ‘penalty’, it’s not their fault. Act up a second time, then a 4 game suspension without pay. Act up a third time, same punishment, 4 games...eventually the owners will figure out you’re not worth the trouble of tying up a roster position for the troublemakers.
It's easy to see what Lefties would do IF they could take guns away from us Normals.
The NFL collectively pissed in my Wheaties. I have no appetite for Wheaties now.
I am not going back to the NFL. To the big shots in the board rooms, BEWARE.
“That was the point, and now they are mad because we took their insult exactly as they intended it to be taken.”
Good article. The above quote reminded me of when I was a teen and had to deal with peers who would say something insulting and when called on it claim it was “just a joke”. Once you realize what is going on you have to tell them in no uncertain terms that if it continues there WILL be consequences.
