So, you’re pushing NFL football on ESPN? How treasonous is that?

ESPN has a certain kind of problem, but more cultural decay has probably happened at the hands of CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS and perhaps especially FOX. All of the pay channels have their sins as well.

I can judge with some detachment, as I don't even have a TV, and haven't for three decades. It was just a decision I made some time ago, and not meant to be virtue signaling. I even chased the Nielsen people away when they wanted to use my family for a week or two.

Maybe you don't watch any of the aforementioned channels. Do you have a car? Do you use gasoline from nations that sponsor terrorism in the Middle East? Maybe you use Citgo, and sponsor Communism in our hemisphere.

Yes, it would do well for all of us to make little sacrifices for our country, and give up some of the pleasantries we used to get to enjoy. I suggest we pick our own personal sacrifices and leave others be, making the exception only for those things that are inherently bad (e.g. things whose raison d'etre are evil, like Tinder); and the flipside, buycotts. Instead of tearing people down for going to Burger King because they served a Pride Whopper (I stopped patronizing BK for that one) tell them to go to Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby because they are good people who do things well.

And by the way ... the Cowboys will stink up the joint, AGAIN!

Nicely hypocritical! You have enough gumption to boycott BK over their gayburger but somehow we should continue to fund and support an NFL that permits attacks on patriotism and an ESPN that ignores attacks on our President - and their sponsors.

Sorry, I’m not buying it. It’s a great idea to pass the word about the other offenders and to recommend alternatives to them - but giving the NFL and ESPN a pass?

The BS flag is on the field!
