Rush’s point that this is a win-win either way for the Left is accurate.
Watch NFL and BLM has a tractable audience.
Don’t watch NFL and football loses status as a national icon.
I disagree with Rush to the extent that I don't think that is a win for the Left. You're basically telling non-edgy crackers that want to root for, let's say, the Seahawks (a lot of crackers in those Seahawk seats) to get f*cked.
You get a Bernie bro slash Seahawk fan pushed out of his comfort zone, and you have a non-vote (or ever better, a Trump vote) if the opposition [Cankles] is anything less strident than Bernie.
Additionally, these coders are not capable of compartmentalizing their benign disgust, or their privilege, or their soft racism! "I had seven shirts no starch and you've ruined all of them" LOFL
Rush, like many, is addicted to football.
We have plenty of other national icons. When something like football commits suicide, that’s sad. But the world (and the country) goes on without it.
Football has sucked up too many tax dollars (stadiums) for the benefit of the few (owners, networks, politicians). The amount of corruption involved in football is staggering. Rush is willing to look the other way because it’s corruption that supports something he likes. I won’t miss it.
But once we destroy what they are trying to contort the NFL into, it will be remade in the image that we want it to be(and what it always should have been). The league won’t go bust. But we will knock it down so many pegs that the owners will be forced to do exactly what we want them to do.
