So what you are saying is Trump himself has made these missteps?
...
Not sure what you mean...but, black people do care what other black people think of them behind closed doors...that is why peer pressure in close knit groups is so high to wear the right clothes, have the same political views, avoid acting white and making good grenades...and, ta da, standing for the anthem...peer pressure, plain and simple.
Another reason for so many flags,with so many blacks who are so g damned stupid they can not grasp what the rules are.
The MAN’s sport got spoiled and feminized on the sideline and in the sports media !!!
It's by design, I think. In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, he describes the games of the future society, such as Obstacle Golf, Escalator Squash, Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy, and Riemann Surface Tennis. As Director Mostapha Mond says:
Imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. It’s madness. Nowadays the Controllers won’t approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicated of existing games.
Well it is a big thing to change a lifestyle. I have chosen, after being a follower since about 1964, to no longer have anything to do with the No Flag Love League.
I have been a Miami Dolphin fan since they started in 1966. I have hosted super bowl parties in my home ... but no more.
Some things which have brought this to a head:
1. I totally disagree with cities and counties using tax money to pay for billionaire’s arenas.
2, I disagree with teams that paid for stadiums having their team yanked away from them on an owner’s whim. (Houston Oilers, Baltimore Colts, LA Rams, St Louis Rams, St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, LA Raiders, SD Chargers and so on.)
3. Replay has become ridiculous ... the umps and refs can no longer be relied on for a call ... we need to review and re-review, ad nauseum.
4. We go to commercial. Then there is a kick-off. THEN, ANOTHER COMMERCIAL! Enough said.
5. Pink shoes and armbands.
6. Players who are thugs to women and others ... and are treated like they’re victims.
7. And now ... the final straw. Not honoring the flag, pledge or anthem, for some reason that they can’t even articulate (at least, beyond “because of Trump”)
So, enough is enough! And to whatever degree possible, I will avoid doing business with the major sponsors.
I doubt that I will have any real effect on a multi-billion dollar business, but I feel better having taken this stand.
The anti-American National Felon League can "spin"/lie, retreat, take a step back, and "backtrack" all it wants, it makes no difference because it is too late, the die has been cast.
The NFL has crossed the Rubicon and to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".
We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.
Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.
We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
We choose to STAND; we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "bend the knee" and subugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the racist, socialist, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
One thing about the endless commercials, every instance they call time for a commercial break is that not giving both teams extra time outs on top of the time outs they get per half???
I certainly agree with the valid point made on assets of the teams. They are all franchises and really have no hard assets, unless you as the owner own the stadium. The only real assets as such are the TV contracts and the good will.
Does anyone think the Dallas Cowboys are worth around $5 Billion, what do you really get for that money???????
Wow — thank you! :-)
Yep — I hear ya.
You’re welcome. Thank YOU!
You’re welcome. It was actually fun writing this. LOL.
I had a big smile even just typing that “prison yard” line. LOL.
Holy smokes -- thank you!
All great points there, Larry. Thank you!
Thanks! You’re absolutely right ... the NFL and the owners were completely unprepared for this, and they still haven’t figured out how much damage they’ve done to their own brand over the last couple of years.
Good post. I agree that Goodell and the owners are just acting like business people do, but I also think their business has gotten so complicated that they don’t know how to deal with what they’ve got on their hands. The biggest problem they face is that they have too many different kinds of “customers” (fans, TV networks and sponsors), and they may not be able to keep all three of them happy at the same time.
I agree with all seven of your points there. Thanks!
Lots of very good points & insights.
It's two teams that were very much in the limelight in this latest disgusting fiasco, with lots of hardcore blue collar, true-blue American type fans. Both are 2-1. Both were utterly destroyed in the last game, after starting 2-0. Karma.
VERY curious how many turn out for this one. It would normally be a packed house, with a typically very large number of Pittsburgh fans showing up as well due to their ubiquity and proximity. We'll see...
