I never watched Nascar, but football is a sport my wife and I watched together - about the only thing. This BLM demonic dump has me shaking my head and not looking forward to anything these coming seasons.

Actually it is the reverse, they lose Trump as the cut own throat.

NASCAR, a sport which mainly appeals to southern rednecks has told southern rednecks they are not welcome. That ought to work out real well for them.

Sorry guys but whenever the NBA and the NFL come back I’ll be watching my favorite teams.

And, I believe, so will Trump. Taking a principled stand against the idiotic idea of kneeling by professional athletes is perfectly OK with me. I would encourage it. But giving up the offending sports is just silly. Trump should not have said he would. It will be a promise he won’t keep.

There is a wave of crap hitting the US and corporations are jumping on board. I can’t believe it after all the president has done to improve business. The disloyal bastards are betting that Biden wins and the whole country will do the Pelosi knee bend. Yup — they are betting on Biden.

“This type of kneeling started to make Kaepernick look nobler when he was boycotting the National Anthem - by faking a godly kneel.”

Kaepernick’s original protest was to sit on his buttocks.

Then a PR firm came up with the idea of having him kneel invoking the image of reverent prayer.

Due to all the current news, my brain isn’t functioning properly.

I’m sure there will still be plenty of old, fat, white men spending money to wear another man’s name on their backs. Muh sportsball!

I would say start attending local high school games for something that at least is close to actual community, but those will probably all be cancelled due to the virus hoax.

Corporations want power, they’ll take a temporary hit in profits to achieve it.

This is the consequence of not enforcing Anti-Trust Laws.

It amazes me the number of organizations that are biting the hands that feed them. The very groups whose members have profited so much from America’s freedom and capitalistic system seem to truly despise this country that’s given them their wealth and opportunities. Sad. And disgusting.

I don’t think so!
The people who watched those sports in the past, are not as engaged as they used to be. Also, their disgust for the management capitulation will probably solidify the support for the President.
Drew Brees and JJ Watts recent statements bolster this belief.

And they think short term. This is a short term win to ride the wave of discontent. It’s going to eat them alive long term.

“Sorry guys but whenever the NBA and the NFL come back I’ll be watching my favorite teams.”

There is a religious justification for not responding when your enemy slaps both of your jowls. It takes a strong person to take it.

You have had both of your jowls slapped hard. I hope you are a strong believer and not just a weak consumer.

Fake news.
NFL has never been Trump allies let alone “pivotal Trump allies”.
Meanwhile, NFL fans overwhelmingly support Trump as do NASCAR fans.

What you have to realize is that the Left years ago targeted the Corporations for takeover, and they have successfully infiltrated them. These aren’t your father’s Corporations.

Yes, and not only that the corporations are for Biden because China wants Trump out and Biden to win. Biden will go back to appease and sell out to China. He’s already done that in the past with China and corporations like Disney want to make a lot of money in China — so Biden is their man.
