There was enough national discontent with the kneelfests to press for their discontinuance. Still, one might be sad. Why is sports supposed to be the supreme expression of national identity? Seems to me this is about crowing at a success in shooting fish in a barrel.
Anyone who thinks something was won in the NFL flap when they are still going forward with handing a hundred million to hard left activist groups is not paying attention.
Nothing changed, and I won’t be returning to NFL football. The damage is done.
Trump has shown conservatives the need to fight. He has accomplished so much in spite of overwhelming adversity. Fight on!
We can thank Donald Trump for a lot, but near the top is that he pulled a lot of masks off and showed what our so called allies really are, fellow travelers and gracious losers. The “Washington Generals” of the Harlem Globetrotter league.
No need to get all upset how they want one behavior (decency) from us, but refuse to give it. That’s the plan.
Let’s stop chattering like Rush Limbaugh’s interminable fake outrage at the media. It’s too known now that “the media” = leftist propaganda. Stop taking from it and giving it legitimacy, even with outrage. We need to mock, Polarize, and diminish it. Start right now.
Good article.
Agreed. Never again.
Spot on. Grateful that he showed me how wrong I was about the Stupid Party.
real conservatives are warming up the helicopters
Yes, the NFL is dead to me. Dead, dead, dead. It needs to be razed. I love football. The NFL is not the sport of football.
Football will survive but in a different form. It is too popular and too huge a revenue stream to disappear all together.
The barrier to starting a new league is extremely high. That is why we need to keep the pressure on to lower that barrier.
Watch while the NFL continues to sink and a new league starts up. You may see some owners jump ship out of a need to survive.
The $100 million to the SJWs must not be funded.
And this should be a lesson to all business owners that this could happen to them if they cave to the SJWs.
The NFL is dead, long live football. Next is the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL.
To those who say conservatives dont do boycotts, I say this is free market principles. This is freedom.
I refuse to fund the LEFT. I refuse to pay for the rope the LEFT wants to hang us with.
Fight like your freedom depends on it because it absolutely does.
>> Why is sports supposed to be the supreme expression of national identity?
Assuming you’re referring to the United States alone, the major leagues were never supreme to patriotism. But the leagues were infected no less than any other aspect of American life.
The once wholesome playing field is now poisoned by Leftism and every facilitating corporation.
Players = just jocks w/o their straps. The only place balls are found is on the field.
With no protection, their antics will be seen by no one.
The jig is up.
RIP NFL your day in the sun has been eclipsed.
Too little, too late.
The other day, I was cleaning out my closet and found my Green Bay Packers sweatshirt that I used to love.
I happily tossed it in the garbage. I’m through with the NFL.
It’s too known now that “the media” = leftist propaganda. Stop taking from it and giving it legitimacy, even with outrage.

Word
I am not a conservative. I am a nationalist. I am interested in the future of my children and grandchildren more than I am in “conservative principles”, and I will act to preserve the future of my kids, and my friends kids, by whatever means necessary.
Indeed, indeed, indeed.
Bush, McCain, Romney. Bah. Those asswipes and their ilk wasted my support.
Right on the mark. They have made some minor concessions to get back in our good graces. It's gonna take a lot more than that.
".... Here’s how we roll. When the enemy deploys its power against us, whether it’s some football jerk dissing us via Old Glory or some tech titan deciding to not allow us access to social media, we will fight back using whatever power we have. We’ll bankrupt the NFL before we just sit there watching them flip us off. And we’ll leverage our political power to regulate the Twittfacegrams into submission if they keep trying to exclude us from participation in our own culture. There is no conservative principle that requires you to not use your most effective weapon in your own self-defense. None..."
Very well written piece. Being conservative means you stand for something, and sometimes you have to do more than stand; you advance and fight for what you believe in. Always be prepared to fight because the opposition does every day.
