In short summary: the NFL, composed of approximately 2/3rds black millionaires, is giving an American born, black, self-made billionaire yet one more platform to promote public awareness as to how this country holds down people of color.

No, Carl, the tightrope was between ratings and live gate and skyboxes and SJW cop-hating nonsense. Get it right.

I started losing interest in the NFL when they started observing breast cancer awareness with the pink colors. After the Flag kneeling I’ve never watched a game. I was getting tired of all the thug behavior as well. I’ve got better things to do than sit and watch a bunch of criminals insulting me and my country. I can watch CSPAN for that.

Wonder how much money the players are giving to these causes they hold so dear?

...NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and black rapper/business mogul Jay-Z announced a multiyear partnership “to enhance the NFL’s live game experiences and to amplify the league’s social justice efforts.”

I see a disaster coming.

Needless to say, Jay-Z is insisting that the league pressure team owners to sign Colin Kaepernick, who in 2017 filed a grievance against the league for allegedly colluding to keep him unsigned.

Sign a journeyman QB who has been out of the league for two years? Sure. I am so sick of Kaepernick the Martyr, as he is defined by the MSM. He made his statement, let him reap the consequences.

Remember when they wouldn’t allow Rush to own the St. Louis Rams? Ditch the NFL and watch some college games.

“ a political action committee or an advocacy think tank. It risks alienating large swaths of its fan base by behaving as though it is. ”

The problem occurred when large swaths of their fan base stood idly by in the stadiums while people were disrespecting the flag

They did not care. The NFL responded to that as does Nike If a Erin’s don’t care enough about the flag to walk out why shoul the NFL?

maybe Goodell is reacting to the the serious decline in game viewership and thinks the loss in American patriots can be overcome in an increase in rapper viewership - ya think???

Devil-Worshipping, Satanist Jay-Z promoting the NFL. How ironic and appropriate!

The NFL has for several years anticipated the demise of the traditional white male fan, and decided to no longer pander to them, but instead focus on the growing fan base attracted by the increasingly thuggish attitude of the players. It’s a strictly financial consideration. With a sizable dose of democrat bias.

NFL Thug Central Casting. Look at the line-up. Pretty white boys need to play tennis. Proud to say I never even learned how football is played.

His purpose was to protest recent fatal shootings by white police officers of “unarmed” blacks such as Michael Brown, Jamar Clark and Alton Sterling.

That is incorrect.
