I dont virtue signal — I just wrote a thoroughly embarrassing and clunky sentence. I assure you virtue signaling is not part of my make up. I am half waiting for Ms. Knox, my 10th grade English teacher to appear and beat the crap out of me for that demonstrably poor writing sample.
Excellent.
That’s ok Bro, your first sentence was fine, but the second one seemed to me you doing what you were admonishing others of doing; no biggie.
Not caring about a game and caring about cultural rot are not the same. You had to pretend they were to make a lame point. Ha! Ha, ha!!
Ha!
I despise the NFL but still try to enjoy college football, and the same thing happens on their threads.
I agree with the majority of posters here in that the NFL can go to hell for all I care.
But I will NOT denigrate you personally for posting this article. I was once such a fan of the NFL that I would not answer my phone on Sunday afternoons.
I suspect that many of us are just further along on the withdrawal process than you are.

LOL.
It ain’t me, babe
Every time you post something about the NFL, you spit on The Flag and tarnish the memories of the brave men who died defending it.
Keep on supporting BLM and Marxists by watching NFL. This crap shouldn’t even be here.
Well said.
Shameful to see Freepers continue to support our enemies.
F the NFL and its enablers.
“Stand by for people showing how much they don’t care about the NFL by posting in a thread about the NFL.”
Some of us are aware that the NFL is anti-America, pro Marxist BLM and rapist supporting.
Some of us object to the mere existence of such an organization. It sure as hell shouldn’t be legitimized on a conservative website.
Do you support Marxism, BLM and Antifa or not? Because supporting NFL means you do.
I guess you support the Marxist, terrorist BLM.
Didn’t “ pretend” anything, the poster in question already stated his wording didn’t clearly relate the point he was trying to make, lame ass.
I will not recognize that there is a NFL until they get out of politics and stick to the game...would appreciate your keeping this site clear of any mention of this communist, racist, group of corporate traitors to our country.
“Stand by for people showing how much they don’t care about the NFL by posting in a thread about the NFL.”
Jam it.
Once, a long time ago, people enjoyed watching grown men play children’s games. They would adopt the teams as their own, and cheer for them as if it meant something important. It was wonderful entertainment, because people of all backgrounds could come together and cheer and laugh and argue about things that didn’t really mean anything (and they knew it). But the wonderful thing was that this cheering for sports let people who might never associate with each other become friends. They often discovered that many of their differences in the rest of their lives didn’t really mean anything either.
Then one day, one player (who wasn’t very talented but wanted attention so badly) who didn’t understand the magic of what he was part of, decided he was bigger than the game and decided to insert his politics into it. He made it impossible from that point on for people who had been friends to set aside their politics. Other players joined in, and everything about the sports became about politics. They shunned players who would not make the political statements. So everyone began to hate everyone, and eventually they lost interest in the sports. Sports had lost their magic.
Slowly the fans dwindled. It was no longer profitable to show sports on television, and giant stadiums fell silent and empty forever. People became tense and angry, because there was no escape from politics any longer, and the people who made the games political worked to divide the people who watched. They blamed the former fans for their own failures. But the fans understood while the players and the “sports news media” couldn’t.
They couldn’t understand because they thought sports were important, and that made it necessary for them to “speak out”, when in fact sports weren’t important at all, but that is precisely where their magic was. But once the magic was killed, it could never be brought back.
The End.
You conflated dishonestly.
