After President Trump finally spoke up for tens of millions of
voiceless Americans disgusted over spoiled NFL crybabies disrespecting
the American flag and anthem, the controversy finally erupted over the
weekend.
You would think that this firestorm would have resulted in record ratings for Sunday
Night Football, or at least a ratings boost. Unfortunately for
the anti-American NFL, the exact opposite proved true with an 8 percent drop in viewership, compared to last week. This is a new season low.
Compared to this time last year, the ratings decline was in the double-digits,
a full 10 percent.
This should come as no surprise. Fans are disgusted with the NFL, not
only for politicizing the game they love but that league policies
reveal a left-wing anti-American streak.
For years, fans have watched the NFL use the threat of fines and
suspensions to shut down every form of self-expression. Players were not
allowed to raise awareness for domestic violence or breast cancer; they
were threatened if they dared suggest honoring slain police officers or
even victims of the September 11 terror attacks.
However, the single exception the NFL offered was to allow these spoiled millionaires to go ahead and spit on the American flag and the anthem.
Even Americans who might not support Trump are baffled over the NFL’s
hostility towards America, and are sick and tired of the politicization
of absolutely everything.
The NFL used to be a place where all Americans could go, a shared
cultural experience. Now professional football is just another leftwing
institution, another place where bubbled rich people tell us how to
think, another Hollywood, another once-beloved institution hostile to us
normal people.
