Trump will hammer the NFL day after day, constructing his own reality in which NFL ratings are down because of the anthem and because he willed them to be, and not because of the game’s much more obvious shortcomings. This will be ALL YOU FUCKING HEAR ABOUT

So, basically, it will be like everything else since the day DJT was elected?

If I have learned anything from 20+ years on internet forums, it is "DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS". SIGH

The Eagles, who just won the Super Bowl, are far from the only team left scratching their heads at the rule.

The Eagles are concerned about racism during every practice drill. You can see it in their eyes as they work toward their performance goals.

Lol, yep Philly is the sensitive city of the future, all their sports teams are completely accustomed to fans using their proper pronouns as the chuck beer bottles at them.

Can't these so-called journalists of today even write a simple analysis of football without trashing Trump?

Unfortunately Trump decided to make an issue out of football

This was not spontaneous outrage. He planned it.

There were websites complete with a swag shop that launched the day he first brought up the issue, all for the benefit of his campaign.

hmmmmmm spontaneous? I think not

I could set up a website complete with swag in about 2 hours, and I'm not exactly quick. With a cheap estore builder I'm sure there are people who can do it in 10 minutes.

The issue with the NFL is this:

It's fucking boring 90% of the time. Why watch 3 back to back games for 12 hours to get 15 minutes of legit play (unless you have a lot of money on these games) when you can catch the last 10 minutes and watch highlights later?

The political shit took it from boring to annoying, people watch the game to relax and get away from all of that shit so when you jam it down their throats they opt for other forms of entertainment.

Couple that with the dramatic decline of the going to game experience (tickets for many teams are insanely expensive, so are the concessions, and every year the venues have new rules to reduce fun and separate you from your hard earned money).
