Very nice.... especially since I predicted this scenario almost exactly on another thread earlier today. I bet there are meetings going on right now with a few other marketing departments where the general thinking is “we got get out of this mess and so we may as well do it and try to make hay while we are doing it.”

Open Letter To The NFL Commissioner

The following letter was copied from Allen B. West’s Site.

https://www.allenbwest.com/2016/09/17/marine-owns-nfl-brutal-letter-commissioner/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Commissioner,

I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and Giants Stadium.

I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American

Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants were going to the

Super Bowl. He never got to see it.

Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over

their coffins.

Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They

are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside playing with a ball

and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were!

You are complicit in this!

You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to

this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner. What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or

the refs publicly?

I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our

National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?

Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines

to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game! You condone

it all by your refusal to act.
You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off

the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.

Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles.

They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with

lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have

ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.

Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On

9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.

I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own

minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!

Time to change the channel.

Message sent a short time ago to a major NFL endorsee . . .


Is it wise to have the NFL name affiliated with both Papa John’s and a bunch of thugs who denigrate the very country that allows us all to conduct business lawfully, freely, and honorably? Think about it. We love Papa Johns. These days the NFL has a smell about it, however, and it is not the smell of fresh pizza.

Whites people will eventually be blamed and told they are racist for not watching and supporting the NFL and all endeavors nonwhite people do. Don’t like rap music - because one is a racist. Don’t like Black humor - because one is racist.
On a Christian talk show on AFR on my drive home today a black 59 Christian man very well spoken basically said white people will never understand and that until all people in authority positions in the USA are non white or black America won’t know justice and be free of racism and oppression. The Christian theologian and host did nothing but agree with him for 20 minutes spouting off how oppressive whites are. People need to grow some stones and be able to vocally disagree. Christians should not embrace untruths ever as we will all be judged.
Part of the problem is in today’s relativistic world no one is unpatriotic or a traitor. Been that way for decades. If one person sees and envisions the USA as a communist tyranny of social justice then that is just as valid if not more so than some racist hateful oppressive Constitutional republic version. Been like this since the 90’s but no one clarifies the competing world views that are incompatible until now as it is in everyone’s faces nonstop.

Anybody had any experience with Hardwick’s product?

https://hardwick.com/collections/suits

Looks like a new startup reviving an old brand. The suits look pretty nice to the extent you can tell from a suit posed on a tailor’s dummy. Made in Cleveland, Tennessee using mostly Italian fabrics. They emphasize the Made In USA angle...breaking with the NFL now was a pretty alert marketing move.

To: BlackFemaleArmyCaptain; All

Please feel free to re-post this on any other nfl threads...

It was once explained to me that the most effective way to get somebody in a corporate executive position’s attention is to send snail mail. Send your message right to the top - President, CEO, etc. E-mails just get mass deleted. Phone calls may tie up the phone lines but typically get ignored. Posts on social media sites may do some good as it’s hard to ignore a 12,000 post thread on a site like nfl Facebook that may ordinarily get a few dozen responses but an actual letter gets noticed because the recipient has to take certain actions.

Let’s look at the physical analogy to those 12,000 Facebook posts if they were letters. The mail-room would be swamped with envelopes that can’t just be thrown away. All have to be opened and read by humans or else items relevant to the business might get thrown, things like checks and legal papers, etc. It is possible that it will be an executive secretary reading the mail addressed to the corporate Big Kahunas. All this takes time and resources. Likewise, if one were to send their opinions on something that, on first glance looks like a check or a letterhead of a business that doesn’t exist the company’s operations get further bollixed.

Also, may I suggest that the big data providers are probably watching you. If you use a cable box to watch the nfl or stream to a device it will be noted. It will also be noted if big data sees you streaming Youtube videos during game hours. I would also suggest gathering in public during gametime where it will be noticed that one is not sitting in front of their screen. How about a mass sing-in of the National Anthem on your local public square or even better, in front of the local tv station that is airing the nfl game.

NFL owners can’t get together with their banking insurance buddies, and scheme a plan for the Dishonorable members of Congress to mandate all to be forced to watch their games.

That’s the problem.
