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.

[SmokingJoe]

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

[petitfour]

Does the NFL vote?

[dsrtsage]

I remember that one time freepers swore they would never watch another game, and how nice it was to spend the time with their families and use their free time more productively. That didn’t last long

[TribalPrincess2U]

Big deal!

[shanover]

Corporations just like political parties are scum.

[pepsi_junkie]

Correct that to say “Trump loses to left wing organizations”. He hasn’t lost the fans on this topic.

[Agatsu77]

So???

[Ann Archy]

NFL is nothing but IDIOTS.....NASCAR is VERY DISAPPOINTING!! They USED to be PATRIOTIC!

[cymbeline]

The nascar organization doesn’t vote. Who believes Trump will lose racing fans over their decision?

[Taxman]

President Trump may have lost “. . . two cherished American institutions. . . .” when NASCAR and the NFL “started to walk away” FRom him “as he railed against athletes taking a knee during the national anthem.”

BUT, he FER SHURE! FER SHURE! did not lose any of their fans!

The fans are with him!

The fans ARE NOT WITH NASCAR AND THE NFL!

YO! NASCAR!

YO! NFL!

WHEN YOU GO BROKE, KNOW THAT IT WAS BECAUSE YOU “WOKE!”

[Zman]

I kneel for no man, government, or “progressive” movement.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

FAGCAR and the Negro Felons League lost me.

I’ll never watch another FAGCAR race nor will I ever watch the kneeling negroes. I’m done for good.

[God luvs America]

the NFL is Trump’s ally?? Who wrote this trash?

[SaxxonWoods]

The NFL lost itself a few years back.

NASCAR fans who support Trump aren’t going anywhere.

Pffht.

[kenmcg]

“Trump loses 2 pivotal allies in his anti-kneeling crusade: NASCAR and the NFL”

Negative! This will backfire on the gutless NASCAR & NFL. It certainly will energize his base.

[T.B. Yoits]

I can't tell you how rarely I see NFL apparel. I used to see people wearing it all the time and not just during the season; commuters going to work wearing their favorite teams' hats, kids out and about. I'd see stickers on cars and flags in front of houses but it's been several years, even before the kneeling started, that I've seen a mere fraction of that level.

On rare occasion I see someone walking in the city with a jacket but when they get closer it's clear they're a foreign tourist. I suspect there was a window of time where the manufacturers were dumping excess apparel overseas knowing they couldn't sell it here.

[lewislynn]

Didn't I see some races recently with empty stadiums?

Get used to it.

Pivotal allies, huh?

SNORT.

[Kozak]

The NFL was never his ally.

I hope NASCAR fans punish them or ignore them in droves. Let’s see them enforce the rule of no stars and bars.
