Can we make the subsidies contingent upon showing respect for the flag?
Can we pull the money?
No more taxpayer funded stadiums.
They don’t want to be the football league of this nation.
Let them find another.
I'm writing my congressperson, Karen Handle, Republicant, (who I haven't heard a peep from since her special election) and asking that the NFL's anti-trust waivers be thoroughly reviewed.
Anti-trust waivers and taxpayer subsidies.
WE THE PEOPLE pay for the NFL. Boycott watching, merchandise, advertisers, and turn off the spigot of taxpayer money flowing to the League and they’d implement a behavior code during the national anthem.
Notice they stood for “God Save the Queen” yesterday. They wouldn’t dare insult fans in England. American fans it’s fine to insult.
Remember when the Pats played the “maybe we won’t stay in MA” charade in order to get that funding?
Naming rights to the stadiums are sold to banks and other companies who plaster their corporate name/logo on the edifice and use it for PR reasons. After subsidizing the construction of these stadiums, why aren’t the taxpayers getting a cut of this income stream?
I think it is the states and municipalities giving these sweetheart deals.
It is OUT money. We the taxpayers.
We pay for the stadium means these clowns work for us.
Add this to the state law books:
“Any publicly funded stadium or sports venue must perform the National Anthem (live or by tape) prior to the holding of a sporting event. Any participant in that event must stand with respect for the Anthem or they are barred from participation.”
They work for us!
Show respect or the hell off of OUR field!
I’m writing my congressperson, Karen Handle, Republicant

You’ll get a form letter back that thanks you for expressing your concerns, saying that you can “rest assured” that the congresswoman will take your views into consideration. The usual BS from the Swamp that is uses to pacify constituents.
Now, if you were a well heeled political group or an established company they will actually listen to you. Money talks on Capitol Hill.
Change their name to the New England Pussyhats
“Can we pull the money? “
Too late. They already have it.
Cut the funding. Stop supporting these anti-American commie thieves.
Politics and sports have nothing to do with each other. None of them should be invited to the white house.
Never was crazy about Jimmy Johnson but he won me over when after winning the first Superbowl and Clinton invited the team to the white house, jimmy said “No, thanks, Mr President. I’m going fishing.”
Of course Jerry Jones sucked up and said “We’ll be there , Mr President. Even though he hated Clinton when he ran for governor and always supported Clinton’s opponents.
Agreed. This needs to stop. Especially since they thumb their noses at most of the taxpayers are against what they’re doing on the field now.
One lawmaker already suggesting the taxpayer money STOP:
We don’t have evacuation centers for citizens living in hurricane zones but we have billions of dollars to prop up white liberal elites so they can spend hundreds of dollars for ‘ a night out’?
Gimme a break.
Let the damn white liberal elites pay for their own damn ‘entertainment’... and NOT get it off the backs of working Americans...
End this NOW!
You’re right. NOW is the time...
