"Who are the “official sponsors” of the NFL at the league level?

Big brands including Anheuser-Busch InBev, Barclays, Bose, Bridgestone, Campbell’s, FedEx, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Nationwide, Nike, PepsiCo, Ticketmaster, Under Armour, and Visa. "

The ‘microphone eating’ photo is yet another cheap shot by the MSM. They always show conservatives with their mouths open, odd lighting, unflattering angles.

This after 8 years of Obama getting ‘halo photos’ and sh*t eating grin shots.

The word selection used by the MSM is one of the strongest ways the MSM shows its bias.

Extremely common examples:

Obama “warns”
Trump “threatens”

Obama “critiques”
Trump “attacks” or “slams”

Obama showing emotion was “passionate” or “enthusiastic”
Trump showing emotion is “unhinged”

Obama “states”
Trump “claims”

and the list goes on and on

No, FANS are going to set the tone

Particularly the quite, taxpaying, socially-conservative ones who are used to American institutions slapping them in the face with leftist politics and racial aggression

Trump has just told them its OK to be pissed off.

“After Trump's comments on NFL, league sponsors will set the tone”

I don't know much about the financials of football.

It seems to me if there are fewer TV viewers of NFL games for any reason, advertisers will not pay as much for advertising spots. In other words, there will not be as much ad revenue for teams and players.

This thing should self correct with a new, possibly lower, equilibrium.

Did He call them sons of bitches, or said the fans should say that?

Trump is standing up for approximately 63 million Americans, MANY of those, are NFL fans.

Far more NFL fans, than the “opposition” has.

And those 63,000,000 Americans are getting mighty fed up with always, always, always being on the wrong side in every single issue in America. The entire political establishment, is on the wrong side, every single time now.

Step wisely owners.

Your fans, are 100% behind Trump on this, because he is the only person saying what we all believe.

Don’t make the same mistake the Boy Scouts, and every other organization recently has made.

Don’t do it.

Don’t.

This is interesting . Who will control the narrative? Will the politically correct Goodel be able to convince the vast majority of NFL fans that disrespect for American symbols should be tolerated and even respected? Or will it cause a significant drop in ratings due to real disgust, and a loss of revenue. Suspect that many will take a knee tomorrow, the NFL will be damaged and the owners will lose money and fans in the long run. Underscores the reality that Americans are divided by values and no longer share a reasonable social consensus. Times have changed.

But that will have to wait for new television contracts. The NFL teams get their money from the networks and the networks get their decreasing advertising revenue from the advertisers. The league and the players are insulated... for a few years.

Also, teams are less likely to get taxpayer paid billion dollar play-pens in the next few years unless they can get their players straightened out. I would hate to be the next team to try to get a new stadium.

and said they “demonstrate a lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players.”

The players show a lack of respect for what? So, now the owners and the league follow these players. It's not going to end well for them.

Do a Beer ad where a black gay couple, a transgender and a genderqueer go to North Korea on a goodwill mission with the Clydesdales.

Fans need to stand up and take it by the throat. The only thing the NGL, NBA MLB care about is money, the fans control the purse. Should be a national boycott of the NFL.

Meanwhile the NFL plays in taxpayer paid stadiums, whose upkeep and maintenance are paid by the taxpayer. They make a little less in
Concessions and ticket sales.

But the rights to televise are already sold and paid for. They are making their profits even if the stadium is empty. They made their money THIS YEAR.

Remember that they told us to GFY. And hold them accountable this year, next year and for years to follow. That is the only way to send a message that they can understand
