This week, they both started to walk away …
. . . from their fan base. And from their future livelihood. Bye-bye, NFL and Nascar.

When I get free housing, free food, free everything and don’t get arrested when I’m out rioting, burning and looting because I am oppressed then maybe.

In other words, NEVER will I kneel to anyone.

I don’t think, based on its actions, the NFL was ever an ally in the knee bending. Just the opposite.

What NASCAR and the NFL lost far exceeds anything President Trump lost: FANS. ADVERTISING $$$.

Trump still has his fans and his $$$.

Thank you, Yahoo/Politics/Sports for exposing what this is really all about. An effort to marginalize and isolate President Trump.

Where did this idea come from?

Oh. Right. Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Dedicated to Lucifer.

So it’s obvious the Dems are terrified about the prospect of Sleepy Joe having to go toe to toe with Trump so they’re doing everything to make it look like Trump is “losing”...polls, suburban women, Christians, military leaders, etc., etc....wherein the NFL aand NASCAR are the losers...fans and money. NFL will be a cottage industry for primadonnas available only on pay per view in a few years and NASCAR isn’t what it once was and won’t be supported solely by Chads and Karens...so you can stick a fork in them within a few years, too.

Based on some conversations I’ve had this weekend with NASCAR fans (I was one as well), NASCAR is not doing so well .... among those I talked to, Trump has not lost any followers, in fact, support has strengthened. The NASCAR pandering (video, race car drivers verbally ‘bending the knee’, etc.) was viewed as totally disgusting. They’ll be following on the heels of the self-exterminating NFL any day now.

NASCAR has swerved all over the road. Shortly after President Trump was elected, the organization canceled a planned event at a Trump hotel. Something about what he said.

Then, this year, they hosted him as an honored guest at a Daytona race before the cars started going around and around the track.

NASCAR changes its positions as often as the “stock cars” change their tires.

President Trump has had NASCAR’s back.

Who has NASCAR’s backbone?

The Corporations. They are the ones running the show now. BLM is the child of the Corporations.

What support? The fans are solid supporters and he doesn’t need any money from NFL or NASCAR. Please don’t bother putting up anything from Yahoo News or Politico.

NASCAR dances to the tune of its corporate sponsors.

The bad news for them is that corporate sponsors include some terribly mismanaged politically driven outfits like JC Penney and Gillette.

BS ! If people reacted negatively in any significant way to the behavior of the NFL, NBA & corporate SJW behavior the corporations wouldn’t do it.

We were tested last NFL season and we failed. Some of us like myself stopped watching but the numbers were not enough to effect the bottom line.

We have power we’re just too fragmented to use it effectively.

Who controls the means of propaganda in this country, and with it the power to influence public opinion?

Get Woke, Go Broke.

I left the NFL behind when they couldn’t decide what nation they were the football league of.

NASCAR joins the sports I will no longer patronize.

Good to know that these guys are down with the struggle. They supports Black (“Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon! What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!”) Lives Matter. They need go out and wash some feet. That will really prove how spineless they are.
