Breitbart ^ | 07/15/2021 | Warner Todd Huston

According to a report, the National Football League is preparing to roll out even more social justice messaging in the 2021 season and will also make the “black national anthem” a prominent part of all major league events.

A source recently told Front Office Sports that the NFL is “bringing back a lot of [social justice] elements from last year,” including helmet decals with left-wing messages, sideline signage, and the playing of the song “Lift Ev’ry Voice and sing” — the purported “black national anthem” — major events.

In before the “unexpected” crash in viewership and ticket sales.

BLM just formally came out in favor of communism. Good timing, NFL.

Brilliant! Their ratings are in the toilet, so I guess they think this will improve them. Well, it won’t for me...click.

Agreed. Looks like my decision to forever stop watching NFL was the right one. They will never get me back.

The NFL, NBA, and Noosecar are in my rear view mirror.

This insanity won’t stop until potential fans say “ no more “, and withdraw ALL support !

It ain’t quite dead yet.
It’s still twitching.

Somebody finish it off as a mercy.

“Golf is next.”

You know it. The new USGA president came from the LPGA and sounds very “progressive”.

I love football and baseball. I’ve found I can do nicely without the professional version of either sport. I really like golf, but if they go woke, they’ll do it without me.

Somebody is laundering money to the NFL.

Wonder if it’s federal taxpayers...

The NBFL may do whatever it wishes…without our ticket revenue.

It probably won’t be enough to stop most Texas conservatives from following the NFL this upcoming season. Football is embedded in the DNA here. As an ex-Californian, I knew football was huge in Texas. I just didn’t expect them to crap the bed and ignore the political and social justice pandering. Oh well.

Great plan.
They asked sorts fans what they wanted, and I’ll bet almost all said, “there just isn’t enough politics during the games.”

The NFL sinks ever further into irrelevance and diminished viewership, either in the arena or as a televised event. The endorsements once so eagerly sought by the participants of the sport will begin to inevitably wither, as a silent boycott of all these “endorsed” products takes place in the wider marketplace.

Descent into the maelstrom. There shall come a day when this cannot be walked back, if not here already.

(music sting)

Oh say can you see,
All these oppressed millionaires,
Kneeling but not in prayer,
For a cause drenched in lies.

They’ve got time to feel,
Oppressed by statuary,
And the OK sign,
Will get people fired.

Oh say does BLM burn and pillage,
What was once the Land of the Free,
But now is full of cowards,
Afraid of Facebook tantrums.
