How to Save the NFL in Three Easy Steps
American Thinker ^ | Bonnie Ramthun

Posted on 10/17/2020 3:41:24 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Viewership started to trend lower as thugs started to become visible in the NFL. Then came Colin Kaepernick, kneeling to show his disrespect for our country, and the NFL didn’t fine him or tell him to stop or he’d lose his job. Instead, they allowed players to kneel and disrespect our anthem and our flag, all across the NFL.

*snip*

However, they can save themselves. Here is how, in three easy steps.

The NFL will return to a celebration of America and our military and police forces. They’ll put on pre-game and halftime shows that rival the musical sequences in Captain America. Troops will be honored. The colors will be marched into the stadium with a full military honor guard. The National Anthem will be sung with dignity and pride, and every player on the field will stand with their right hand over their heart. If they don’t, they will be at the curb with their duffle bag within minutes. Do you want to save yourselves, owners? Then kick any ungrateful athlete right out of your beloved sport.

The NFL will require each paid athlete to take courses in ethics, history, and finance. Perhaps they were raised in a well-educated home with plenty of books and excellent teachers at school. Most likely they were not. The courses are going to be non-negotiable and if the athlete is illiterate, tutors will be hired by the NFL to teach him to read. Many of these young, brilliant athletes have been shamefully shuffled through the school system without ever learning the tools they need to be good public citizens. In return for their dedication to their sport, the NFL is going to teach them. If they refuse to take these classes, then to the curb with their duffle bag they will go.

The author must be borrowing Hunter’s crack pipe if she thinks her proposals have a snowball’s chance in hell.

2 Steps is easier:

1. Disband the NFL
2. Restart the AFL and ban any social justice BS

I wouldn’t go back if they paid me to watch the games. The league, owners and players need to pay a steep price for their disrespect of America and her citizens.

1) Every player signs a declaration that their customer is not an incorrigible jerk and monster.
2) Everybody associated with the league signs a declaration that every football fan is not immediately assumed to be an incorrigible jerk and monster.

I liked the league that folded after 4 or 5 games last year.

Much easier way. Let the NFL collapse, then have a new startup league. Bring in old NFL players. Let the NFL, MLB, NHL, NASCAR and NBA go to hell

Two easy steps:

1. Reestablish insane asylums.

2. Put everyone involved in the NFL and all of their fans in the asylums.

[Although group homes for the mentally retarded might be a better fit for many of the fans.]

Start a rugby league to avoid the whole unsolvable problem of the NFL.

Too late! The horse is long gone and only his, formerly steaming, pile of shit is in the barn.

Goodell will be remembered as the Commissioner that killed the Golden Goose.
I am grateful for the time I now save by not watching NFL games. I didn’t watch all games, of course, but Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays are now free!
Thanks again Roger, you putz!

The NBA plays for the Chinese market and it will survive. I don’t think the CCP invest in the NFL heavily.
