Unfortunately this crisis cannot be settled anytime soon. It can’t be resolved because there no longer exists a reasonable social consensus in this country that is based on commonly held cherished values. A significant minority of citizens has a palpable hatred for traditional values and have embraced a nep pagan epicurean, hedonistic lifestyle that mocks other Americans. The NFL , along with the Networks and advertisers are crass. foolish and care only on maintaining revenue streams. Hence they have chosen wrongly. They have ridiculed Tebow for kneeling in prayer and celebrated Kaepernick for disrespecting America. They honor a team like Pittsburg that except for a real man like Villanueva, sheepishly insults America. Given the addiction of American men to watch football, the NFL sadly will survive and keep making money. Simply underscores how divided and warped the country has become.
First they came for Tebow.
I’ll bet the NFL’s emails on the subject of Tebow, Kaepernick, kneeling, et al would make interesting reading...
Wonder what Anonymous and/or Wikileaks are up to these days...
