NFL JIHAD

Your Veterans died and fought for you.
Can you not at least dig up a spec of their courage to speak up in a public place like a restaurant that displays screens of NFL? Diss their sponsors too.

Be subtle, patient & bold and a tad evasive.

NFL pisses on veterans. NFL pisses on the flag.
Change the channel please, NFL is boring. Movie please.
That beer tastes like cardboard.

Dare your kid. Observe spectators reaction, it is funny.

Actually playing a Sport like “NFL Jihad”, is much more fun than watching annoying junk.

Whatever would have convinced them to universally trash the good will of their loyal customers so?

There is a huge cultural and economic disconnect between players and fans that wasn't there a generation ago. 35 years ago I dated a girl who lived in a garden variety middle class neighborhood. The guy who lived next door to her was a starting NBA Forward. Those days are long gone.

“Skip the NFL entirely for two weekends in a row and you’ll look back and wonder why you ever wasted so many hours of your life on useless bullish!t.”

Spot on. Fortunately I realized this about 50 years ago.

College football isn’t going to last very long once the NFL goes. Without the chance for NFL riches, nobody’s going to injure their brains out of love for ol’ State U.

The media coverage is “Trump”, “Trump”, “Trump” because they do not want to talk about what is really happening here—a leader-less public uprising.

Goodell still has his job. Why?

Because we haven't won--yet. If you know anyone who hasn't boycotted yet please talk to them....

“The financial worth of the team is tied to the cash flow from advertisers, who are vulnerable to attacks from the Left.”

Only because they allow it. Rush has pointed out, over and over, that the economic power of the Left is so small that it cannot be measured. But they amplify their voices so effectively that most businesses simply say that ‘they don’t want to deal with it’ and they do what the Left tells them.

The other option for businesses in this country is to TAKE ACTION and call their bluffs, which I think Rush has done and maybe Hanntity too. Get a Cease and Desist order and let them know they face civil and possibly criminal actions if they don’t comply. Sure it takes some balls from businesses...but the results are always the same - the Left backs down.

Of all businesses that should have fought back, one would think the NFL would be at the top of that list. Their fans are the NASCAR type of people of they MUST know just that...yet they chose to tell us to stuff it, and now they pay.

if you must have your football fix.....support local high school football. make the NFL look at the number of people at high school games and realize that there is nothing wrong with the game but everything wrong with the players and owners.

If you’re in the city or suburbs, be careful where you pour out Coors unless you want animal services investigating you for illegally keeping horses.

“Players are getting the blame but WITHOUT WHITE LIBERAL ELITE OWNERS THIS PROTEST - THIS “GIVING THE FINGER TO THE COUNTRY, FLAG AND NATIONAL ANTHEM” WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.”

That was where the line was crossed. People (players, in this case) will always ‘test the system’. What I watched for was the owners...and which side they took. They didn’t take our side - so it’s lights out for them.

“Lockhart, a former press secretary for President Clinton, called Sunday’s protests, “an important day in the NFL and we think a good one.””

Lockhart certainly NAILED it there, partially. It was a very ‘important day’. It was the day that the NFL died.

Don’t worry, their felons will continue to double down and keep those numbers plummeting.

Or as one of my female in laws would say!

Lockhart certainly NAILED it there, partially. It was a very ‘important day’. It was the day that the NFL contracted an incurable STD/AIDs and a terminal Colin cancer due to being total idiots!

The thing is, we’re not angry at the NFL, we’re just not that into them anymore. It’s been brewing for a long time.
