I love being downvoted for blowing up someone's gotcha moment.

Yeah the PGA tour has communists on it. Why would you support a sport that openly allows communists. You buying clubs and balls and greens fees goes to supporting communism.

They actually have a PGA tour china too.

By default you support communism.

Is the PGA letting the communist players use the tour and tournaments push the Communist agenda?

If not, your point is pretty damn horrific

A lot of virtue signalers in here complaining about people boycotting the NFL need to relax. Millions of less people watching football does not impact y’all. Don’t worry about it, calm down. Nobody is banning football, it’s just people no longer watching it.


No one is complaining. This is just a reaction to everyone who felt the need to let the board know they are no longer watching the NFL and/or other sports.

The only people who need to calm down are those overreacting about what teams do during the national anthem as if people ever paid attention to what others do during the national anthem until the media told them that they had to be outraged.

Ummm yeah they have an entire tour dedicated to China.

30 seconds of someone kneeling doing something American like freedom of speech gets your butt in a bind. Fact is you never cared about the NFL in the first place. There aren't communists earning money in the NFL. Sounds like you are all for communists taking Americans money back to their homeland. Kinda sad.

Just more virtue signalling.

Comparing service member to a group of rioters is just pathetic even for you.


Y'all made the comparison not me. I listed another political message displayed by the NFL in the past.

And what NFL team rioted yesterday?

Does the military and DoD only protect republicans?

I am seriously wondering how respecting and honoring troops is political to you

As a left leaner, are you saying you naturally hate soldiers?

Do you think "political" only means "american political parties" or something? The word has a broader meaning.

quote:

relating to the government or the public affairs of a country.


The DoD paying to send a certain message is political. The NFL didn't do this out if the goodness of their heart. They did it for some $$$. Just like painting end racism on end zones.

Yeah that's exactly what I said.

Military protects our constitutional rights like those to peacefully protest. You can like it or not, but it is truth.

Freedoms of speech is the first amendment for a reason.

Military recruitment has existed as a bipartisan/nonpartisan function of colonial, confederation, or federal government in America since 1775. Yes, it can be argued that that any government action is innately political, but that is about as pedantic of a take as it gets, when juxtaposed against the backdrop of fricking BLM.
