NFL Becomes Obama Propaganda Arm (Obama Co-opts Thanksgiving Day Games)

Since they dissed Rush, I can’t force myself to give a damn.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Can we not have one damn day without this clown appearing on TV and sermonizing to us about “community service”......mind you, this is community service for the GOVERNMENT that he is advocating.

[Recovering_Democrat]

K, I haven’t watched NFL for the past month or so...ever since Goodell’s lameass comments about Rush.

I also pitched most of my NFL apparel...and I do not miss it one bit.

The NFL can cram it, and their worship with Obama just solidifies my resolve to ignore them.

Serve Government? They’ve got it backwards!

[Cicero]

Serve what?

[Bad Jack Bauer]

Jesus Christ! Obama is like Chickenman! “He’s everywhere! He’s everywhere!”

[STARWISE]

I guess he thought he wasn't in our faces and lives enough ... /S!

Well the Thanksgiving day games are usually boring anyway so given the Turkey in Chief’s appearance I think I’ll read a book instead.

Talk of service/sacrifice/common good always reminds me of this quote:

"It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master."
-Ayn Rand

Love to see how the Kenyan throws the football.

Bet he doesn't know if its blown-up or filled with feathers.

[Mr. Wright]

I agree — I have given up on pro football. It is nothing but a bunch of overpaid crybabies. Guy makes 8 million a year and fumbles the ball. The guy making 12 million drops a pass that should be caught. Want to enjoy good football?
Watch a great college game. The NFL can kiss my a - -
for not allowing Rush but allowing a bunch of “cons” to participate in the sport.

[shankbear]

The NFL is a thugocracy just like the Obama government.

[what's up]

Ozero has to devote himself to the all-important task of filming Kennedyesque football sequences.

This explains why the Afganistan pronouncements have to wait till after Thanksgiving.

[numberonepal]

I think I’ll read a book instead.

I recommend Going Rogue by Sarah Palin.

[Deb]

American Patriots (sometimes called, men) who show up en masse to watch football and then leave network TV till next week, will not be happy about being targeted for government propaganda.

That sound you hear will be the male population throwing down their beers and slamming their front doors.

Where’s the poster who puts up, “I’m An Attention Whore”
because it really fits Zero.
