4TH quarter, 4th down, 1 yard to go, 2 seconds remain, and the NFL fumbles.

Funny how the Democrats were able to successfully get the BLM cretinism to shut up for the election, but Kapernic didn’t get the memo and has single-handedly kept this anti-American crap plastered all over the place.

On 106.7 The Fan radio station they discussed the drop in ratings for an hour. Not once did they mention the protests. Their reasons were the teams playing eachother or over saturation of the market.

This is in gthe DC market.

I think it is time for all of us to get serious about our country and this Fascist business. National Anthem nonsense is exactly like Obamacare and that is that good people are made to swallow something they intensely dislike. Forget football and basketball for this entire season. Remember they also made us swallow the ALL Star game and bathroom controversy by moving the venue. It is high time to make the NFL and NBA eat it bigtime by forgetting about them.

Professional football has become politicized like everything else the left touches. Marx said everything, absolutely everything, is political. Through Ayers, Solinsky, Obama and Clinton we’re seeing Marxist doctrine overwhelm every aspect of our lives. The propaganda is becoming so pervasive as to be impossible to ignore.

I think the next boycott should be the outlandishly priced sports wear and shoes. For parents giving in to the demands of their kids it represents a huge chunk out of the household budget.

It will be interesting to see the ratings for the Super Bowl this year.

“Keep it up plus the product sucks”

In addition to the national anthem nonsense, the whole 25 yard line BS did it for me, no more NFL for me. I’ve been a die hard Cowboys fan since the early 70’s and it’s been surprisingly easy to cut the cord.

I thought they’d never own up to the fact that the “boycott” is hurting the nfl ratings... I love the way they tried to skate around that for weeks. Clearly it’s having an effect and clearly our voices are finally being heard!

“Take a knee”....wtf...now this lame disrepectful behavior has a name??? It’s called kneeling. Nothing clever or “cool” sounding. Just plain old kneeling. Taking a knee...nonsense!

Done with NFL. Not going back.

Who knew insulting the customer base was bad for business?

I like the Puppy Bowel. Hubby will have the game on, AFTER the Anthem, he wants to see these cretins get creamed, and cause he doesn’t want to hear me gripe. I read a book on my Kindle and take out my hearing aids. Hard to change a 77 yr old.

Exactly!

They can’t respect the flag,the country that gave them very lucrative careers, they don’t deserve their salaries.

Very short-sighted to politicize a sport that appeals to people of all backgrounds, political stripes, incomes, etc.

Pretty sure NBA has contract language that all players will stand for the anthem.
