They don’t care about the fans or money.
They care about, what Tom Wolfe called, status-spheres. People live in their own sphere and they gain or lose status within that sphere. To the New York CEOs and their top execs, the Trump voters are a mystery. They have no idea how Hillary lost (neither does she).
They know about getting awards for their latest PC culture adventure. They know - as all elites do - that we have an open borders, no borders, global economy and the only threat they face is ‘global warming’ and fear their various maids and nannies might get deported by Trump.
They DON’T CARE about the public or their customers.
If it were just about making a buck, why aren’t there multiple conservative news channels on the air?
The actual strategy is this:
Hillary lost. Why? NATIONALISM.
Nationalism - love of the US of A cannot be allowed. We need Americans to hate their country so they’ll give in to open borders and one world government.
How to do that? Attack the history and the heroes. Take down Washington and Jefferson. Apologize for our winning various wars. We are evil white invaders and who are we to have borders or have any pride in our country?
The NFL protests are just part of dividing and conquering the country and attempting to rob us of our most cherished symbols.
Look at a good portion of the country now backing the bashing of our flag and anthem. They’re ready to be invaded by illegals or ‘refugees’ or anyone else because they’ve been lied to about the founding of our country and what we stand for in the world.

It wasn't that long ago that horse racing and boxing were considered major sports on a par with football.
OMG! The most insightful thing i've read today. It's seldom that I see people mentioning this phenomena, and yet it underpins so much of Liberal thought.

Actually I see it as a continuation of the Civil War in which Big City Urban Liberals learned to hate Rural people with conservative ideas who wouldn't keep up with the latest proclaimed moral outrage which the Big City Liberals want to make into their "crises du jour."
We are basically still fighting the Hamiltonians against the Jeffersonians.
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.
