1. The Bud brewers came out and said they are ‘relaying the concerns’ to the NFL... they have 1,100 veterans working for them.

The NFL money train = beer ads. If those go away, they are in deep shite.

2. Steelers owner put out a statement trying to hedge bets as well.

Trump is a political genius. This is an issue most folks agree with Trump on and it exposes the elites as America-hating globalists.

True...If there’s a choice between Trump and the NFL, I’ll be the Deplorable and go for Trump.

Good point re city sharpies vs. the hicks. That’s essentially American politics today with half the population in the big cities who don’t understand the ‘red state’ Americans have no desire to do so. Their understanding is cartoonish - meth-addicted Christian homophobic inbreds. And that’s just what they think of New Jersey.

I have been told that "Pollack Jokes" first originated when the Poles put up a stiff resistance to German invasion. It was used as a propaganda tool to demoralize their populace and demean their efforts to oppose the German invasion.

I think something similar has happened as a result of the Civil War. I think the poor stupid hick characterization of the Conquered South was deliberate, and intentionally spread as propaganda, and I think the tendency to keep circulating this sort of propaganda has been inherited by the subsequent populace in various areas.

The fanbase of the NFL are the red state Trump voter working class folks. This was a business suicide decision.

This is something that I would have presumed would have been visible to all the business offices of the NFL, yet they seem oblivious. I guess they've ridden so high for so long, they think they are now invincible, as did the conquering Roman Heroes in their parades. They needed someone whispering in their ear, but apparently they didn't have anyone.

I would expect the hostility between urban and rural to continue and escalate.

Which it seems to be doing.

With one round of nukes, North Korea could make America Republican for decades to come as the most likely targets would be large cities. Even Los Angels and New York blown off the map would make us significantly more conservative.

Yes it would, but at a terrible cost. I think if we could just get a conservative network up and running, we might be eventually able to move the nation towards conservatism without so much tragedy.

But I have long said that Conservatism is the reality based philosophy, and tragedy will tend to make people more conservative. It is our prosperity that has made so many of us Liberal.

Check out the novel PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC for an entertaining exploration of the Union dissolving and the aftermath. It’s a quick read.

I'll have to find it. Thanks for pointing it out.

"It was pretty amazing listening to sports radio here in Jacksonville, Florida yesterday. The hosts were 100% pro-kneeler all day. "

Same is true, for past few days, here in MD/VA/DC on politically correct sport radio station ESPN980...Disgusting endless leftist anti-American drivel by every broadcast member! Some of them are also out-and-out BLM-supporting racists.

It’s not between P Trump and the NFL

It the NFL vs Old Glory and our National Anthem

Honor Country. Manners Civic grace

And for some, Duty

Sunday was Gold Star day. As a family member and relative of wounded warriors and KIA, I am beyond rage. Killing the enemy is now redefined.

Yup. Standard playbook for over taking a country with foreign interests. They are further into the playbook over in Europe. And that Globalist Cabal includes many Oil Rich Muslims. Thus the interesting way Islam is tied into the playbook. Leftist populace are just playing their roles as useful idiots hoping to get some gravy out of the deal.
