The NFL will continue to jam social justice messages down the throats of fans this season. In 2020, the league allowed players to wear social justice message decals on their helmets and the fields featured messages about racism. Well, the NFL has apparently still not learned that fans just want to focus on football because the messages are sticking around. According to The Associated Press, players will still be able to wear social justice messages on their helmets and fields will be painted with “It Takes All of Us” and “End Racism.” NFL senior vice president of social responsibility Anna...

The NFL is hellbent on getting 100% of players “vaccinated” with the controversial Covid jab. But one has to wonder why the push when so many players and coaches are testing positive AFTER taking the so-called “vaccination”.The NFL has implemented all kinds of draconian and segregationist policies to make the choice not to get “vaccinated” miserable while giving those who took the jab plenty of slobbering praise and admiration.For example, those who refuse the jab must sit out five days if they come in contact with anyone known to test positive, but “vaccinated” players don’t have to. Oppressive masking and...

The National Football League (NFL) recently joined virtually every other American institution in lauding — and marketing to — the LGBT community during Pride Month in June. It did so by releasing a new 30-second commercial proudly proclaiming that "football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, bisexual and exciting." The ad begins by stating "football is gay" to the sound of drums rolling and people cheering. (I'm not sure what Dick Butkus would have to say about this advertisement, but I digress.) f you love this game, you are welcome here. Football is for all. Football is for everyone. The NFL...

The NFL has sent a memo instructing all 32 teams to develop a method for identifying players, coaches, and employees who have received the coronavirus vaccine. In a five-page memo released last week and obtained by Pro Football Talk, the league informed teams of a requirement to develop a system for identifying fully-vaccinated “Tier 1 and Tiers 2 personnel.” Players and coaches fall under the Tier 1 category. “We recommend utilizing color coded wristbands or credentials, however clubs are free to implement other methods,” the memo stated. While identifying personnel who have been vaccinated, such a system would also make...

The National Football League (NFL) will be playing the “Black National Anthem” as “a prominent part of all big league events,” including the Super Bowl, NFL Playoffs, NFL Draft, and NFL Kickoff game, according to a new report. The NFL also played the anthem, “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” during the first week of the 2020 season. The Daily Wire notes that the NFL already featured Alicia Keys and the Cleveland All-City Choir singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before Super Bowl LV and even before the 2021 NFL Draft.

The 30 second advert produced by the NFL, which was described by TMZ as being a “powerful video,” declares in white text on a black background that “football is gay,” in a move apparently designed to show solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. Further descriptors of what the NFL claim football is then pop up on screen, including “lesbian,” “queer,” “exciting,” “transgender,” “heart,” “power,” “bisexual,” and finishes by saying that football is “for everyone.”

The publishing company owned by Colin Kaepernick is editing and soon to publish a collection of essays calling for the abolition of police and prisons. “Today, I’m excited to share that we at @KaepernickPublishing will be releasing our first title, ABOLITION FOR THE PEOPLE: THE MOVEMENT FOR A FUTURE WITHOUT POLICING & PRISONS, on 10/12/21,” Kaepernick wrote on Instagram. “This anthology builds on decades of organizing and writing against policing & prisons & features the work of over 30 contributors plus a reader’s guide, infographics, & cover art by Emory Douglas. The NFL’s original anthem protester added, “I’m proud to...

As liberals continue to attack the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tim Tebow over supposed “white privilege,” they ignore the fact that Colin Kaepernick made a mockery of the NFL’s offer to continue his career. Twitter went wild on Monday when news broke that the Jags were set to give Tebow a shot at renewing his pro football career. Many leftists accused the NFL of indulging “white privilege” for allowing Tebow to get another shot at the NFL while Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned. But what these detractors have ignored to push their narrative is that Colin Kaepernick refused repeated opportunities to continue...

When Tim Tebow retired from baseball in February after a run as a Mets minor-leaguer, it appeared to spell the end of his athletic career. But in a stunning twist, the former Jets and Broncos quarterback is attempting an NFL comeback as a tight end, according to multiple reports. The 33-year-old reached out to the Jacksonville Jaguars requesting an opportunity to try out as a tight end, ESPN reported. Tebow went through a workout with the team’s tight ends coach, according to NFL Network, and the Jaguars have had “at least some discussion” of signing him. Jaguars coach Urban Meyer...

The league that began their season with near empty stands and then chased away television viewers by turning their gameday experience into a platform for social justice messaging, announced on Wednesday that all teams will have to be at or under a salary cap of $182.5 million by 4:00 PM EST on March 17. The $182.5 million figure represents a $15.7 million drop from the $198.2 million cap the league had last year.

Jeep said it will resume airing its Super Bowl commercial starring Bruce Springsteen after the pro-Biden singer-songwriter pleaded guilty on Wednesday to consuming alcohol in a restricted area. The “Born in the USA” rocker managed to avoid the more serious charges of driving while intoxicated and reckless driving. A spokesperson for Jeep said in a statement sent to multiple news outlets that the automaker is “unpausing” the commercial. “As we stated previously, we paused the commercial until the facts were established. Now, that the matter has been resolved, we are unpausing the film,” the spokesperson said. Watch below: Jeep had...

Personally, I like the idea that a professional sports franchise owner, like Mark Cuban, will stop exploiting the Star Spangled Banner to sell his product. For decades, professional sports teams have used patriotism for profit. The owners and players wrapped themselves in the flag they now burn. Let us be honest, corporations - especially multinational corporations - do not do anything that does not benefit the corporation. This practice of playing the national anthem, parading the flag in front of the crowd, “honoring” our uniformed services personnel, flyovers - it was all done to evoke the emotions of the audience....

Racism is always ugly, but it's even uglier when it’s welcomed on a national stage. And, make no mistake, the Kansas City football team's name is racist. The Kansas City Chiefs — who are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Super Bowl LV on Sunday — are just delaying the inevitable. They will eventually drop their name. They will be forced to do away with the dehumanization and commodification of Native Americans that are their name and logo and beloved team traditions. It will happen. They’re just being stubborn right now and refusing to simply ride the massive wave of...

In her first-ever Super Bowl ad, country icon Dolly Parton has partnered with website company Squarespace to champion the millions of Americans working hard to unlock their economic freedom through a side hustle. Unfortunately, Parton’s embrace of the all-American entrepreneurial spirit has made her a target of left wing commentary sites and angry bluecheck liberals on Twitter. Instead of celebrating side gigs for allowing Americans to pursue economic freedom on their own terms, the left wants to destroy side hustles and force all Americans to have a boss. The Super Bowl ad updates Parton’s classic smash hit “9 to 5”...

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) warned residents Thursday to refrain from attending Super Bowl parties this weekend due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, instructing them to “stay home.” The Democrat mayor shared a popular clown meme to social media , depicting the progression of an individual transforming into a circus clown as he outlines his plans to go to a Super Bowl party. The decision to go to such an event, the governor said, impacts the entire community.

Patriots’ HC Bill Belichick will not be traveling to Washington nor accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he announced today.

With just days to go in office and facing calls to resign, President Donald Trump is planning to spend the upcoming week taking a ceremonial victory lap and making last-minute use of his presidential powers. A trip to the border is in order, pardons appear to be in the works, and so, too, is an award ceremony for one of his favorite football coaches as well as a top political ally.

Had the Houston Texans stayed the course and followed the recommendation of the search firm Korn Ferry, they likely would have hired Pittsburgh Steelers vice president of football and business administration Omar Khan as their next general manager, league sources told ESPN. Khan and ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Louis Riddick, who are both minority candidates, were the two finalists before Texans owner Cal McNair changed his mind, ignored the recommendation of the search firm he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do weeks of work and hired former New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, sources...
