The NFL and its players have no clue as to how out of touch with reality they are

This is a photo taken in Maine on Saturday. Maine is not known for its conservative base mind you(see Susan Collins). Yet these roofers stopped working to stand, while the anthem was being played at a high school football game in the neighborhood

If Trump hangs onto this issue, the coming landslide in '16 and '20 will bring much joy

I bet you sit in your living room munching chips and drinking beer during the national anthem...right?

NFL's cratering ratings may be starting to hit Fox's bottom line
quote:

Credit Suisse lowers its price target and earnings per share forecasts for Twenty-First Century Fox, citing Fox's poor Sunday NFL ratings.

"NFL ratings [are] weak so far. ... This was negatively impacted during the first 2 weeks by hurricane disruption, but is disappointing given the soft comps – if ratings do not improve materially, we see a potential headwind to domestic advertising revenues in Q2/Q3 '18," the firm's analyst writes.

If this issue, NFL players kneeling for the Anthem, decides the presidential election in 3 years, then we are either doing so well as a nation it won't matter who wins because there is nothing else to fix, or we have absolutely jumped the shark as a country.

We need to go after the NFL's tax-exempt status. I mean, WTH?! Multi-millionaire, for-profit (BIG PROFIT) organizations... no spiritual, charity, or community outreach as a core of what they do... how in the world did these people ever get tax exempt status?!

To so many “ Normals” it’s just a statement of fundamental decency and national cohesion. Progs reject both concepts and gift wrapped this one for Trump. They can’t help themselves.

One more redeeming aspect of this is watching and listening to Payton again attempting to "thread the needle" to protect his coddled ingrates.

Why do people act like this stance is personally hurting them?
There are 2 questions I typically ask myself before I let something offend me.
1. Is it hurting my family?
2. Is it stopping me from paying my bills?

People need to lose the fake outrage. People making a stand really has no impact on your life. Lose the groupie mentality and be a man
