The NFL picked a side in the culture wars - the side that despises the average American.  

I hope it goes the way of Time magazine, the New York Times,  the Episcopal church, the UMC, and every other organization that thinks catering to the far left is a "growth strategy" only to "roll left and crash."

Per Professor Jacobson:

//The NFL is as political an organization as there is, now. It picked sides in the culture war, and the side it picked is decidedly left. The NFL refused to allow the Dallas Cowboys to display a decal honoring the Dallas police killed by a Black Lives Matter supporter, yet it is completely supporting the “right” of players to kneel on the sideline while the National Anthem is played, as both a sign of support for the Black Lives Matter movement and an anti-Trump protest.

The right to protest is selectively applied by the NFL. Some protests are more equal in the NFL than other protests:

Numerous teams have backed up the NFL position, including the New England Patriots. The statements issued talk about defending the players’ right to express their views. But would the NFL support the rights of all players to express all views on the field during a game? I think not.

Nor would the media permit all forms of expression. Tim Tebow was viciously attacked and mocked by the professional media when he took a knee for prayer, yet NFL players are lionized in that same media for taking a knee while the National Anthem is played.

We have the image of NFL players taking a knee during the American National Anthem in London. That should be a Dixie Chicks moment for the NFL. Whether it will be remains to be seen.

The NFL and its teams have a “right” as private organizations, to pick sides. And it’s my right and everyone’s right to protest those protests, and to turn off the TV and not to attend games.//

Can't support cops, but it is OK to piss on Americans.

And, by the way, our troops did NOT fight for the right for people to spit on the American flag/national anthem. If out troops had not beaten the Nazis and the Communists, these people would have had that right.

Our troops fought so that the rest of us could honor our country, our past and our democratic values.

The rest of us are just tolerating these assholes because of those values.
I have been a fan of the Steelers since Franco Harris.

That ended today.

I will root for Alejandro Villenueva, who shoed that he was the last brave man in the NFL and it's only class act.

WTF happened?

Why do these wealthy assholes want to insult normal people?
