Putting liberals in the awkward position of defending those that disparage the anthem/flag. It was a net win for the right. I honestly hope this controversy is still going when re-election rolls around.

I don't get the point of this thread/NFL coverage in the first place. I know culture warring and outrage have been a staple of right-wing daily life, but what is the point of all of this?
As you say favorability ratings for the NFL decline, so what? Do you get a sense of pride like you won a battle against the uppity millionaire athletes? The billionaire team owners who donated to Trump and Trump himself have prevailed in the Battle of Kneeling Black? Do you return home to clean your weapons to prepare for the War on Christmas?
A lot of you need to evaluate what's important in life and ask yourself if this issue has any bearing on your life.Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.
The GOP is a criminal organization who despises the middle class and working poor. Name one policy they have pushed for that increased worker pay, union strength, or worker influence in a corporation.

Just to highlight how insane the left is, and how ****ing stupid it is to pander to them (the extreme left, excuse me, sorry to slander normal reasonable liberals), but the SJW crowd is now also boycotting the ESPN, and probably the NFL, because they suspended a racist commentator broad. After all that pandering, all it took was one (reasonable) action to lose them entirely - and now they have neither side.
They have shut down outright stupidity and kept that level of depravity from being normalized, so **** yeah - it's a victory. Sounds like you just have a sour face over it because the lunatics got shut down for once instead of ignored or unsuccessfully pushed back.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

NFL was such a boorish sport anyway.

Don't forget that this started with a few throwaway lines from an hour long Trump speech. It's been vigorously covered by media outlets ever since. Which conservative group(s) are responsible for setting this "culture war" (as you call it)? I'm asking because I want to know who really pulls the strings.

It's amazing how aloof the opposition is in this thread.
NFL is finished. Maybe not this year, maybe not next, but it's done. You don't strike at your fanbase and then expect them to come back once it all blows over. There is no coming back from this. People are waking up and realizing how inane and dull football is after not watching it for weeks on end. Nothing is going to "blue pill" them into coming back. Combine this with CTE and rules that are ever changing, this league is headed for the crapper. I have spoken with non-political people who are NFL enthusiasts who are being red-pilled by all of the NFL's hypocritical nonsense, who have stopped watching. They are missing nothing.
Ratings will continue to plummet, sponsor's will start "making deals" to lower their payments due to that (or leave altogether) and they will go into panic mode trying to get their core base back. God of POF Crew

The real thing that transpired is people stopped watching MSM ran news in droves, so they shifted their memos and focus to ESPN/Sports Leagues to carry their SJW/Globalist message to try and still get that blue pill out.
Completely backfired. And now they are under attack by the real Patriots. Who are even bigger winners than the New England ones. God of POF Crew

I mean this with utmost sincerity, I don't give a **** what happens either way. You want to stand? Great! You want to kneel? Great! I'm liberal and I'm more socially libertarian than most "libertarians" on this forum.
Who gives a phuck? Does this help improve the economy? Does this protect net neutrality? Does this end gerrymandering?
I see more threads on this kind of stupid chit instead of actual substantive debate about issues and policy. I made a thread on gerrymandering the other day hoping to spark a debate and raise awareness which garnered about 9 replies. A thread that says "someone in the opposition did something stupid so all people of that group are that way" get 10 pages of drivel.
If we want tribalism and partisan politics to end we need to stop chasing shiny objects and instead focus on the issues.Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.

Trump is playing 6D chess brother.
American football is a disgusting sport that damages children's brains. Trump knew he couldn't take it head on, so he played an elaborate game to bait them in, and then make the NFL deeply unpopular. This will reduce the number of kids playing football, thereby improving our national brain health in 20 years time.
That is what we call thinking ahead. All hail the God Emperor!When all that says 'it is good' has been debunked, what says 'I want' remains.

What did he say that was wrong?
There are tons of boomers (most cucked generation alive) burning $100s-1000s of dollars worth of gear online.
Most people are taking the protest as being anti America, anti Trump (NFL viewers are right leaning), anti police and anti military.
The NFL was a dying sport to begin with due to the severity of brain trauma, but it's going to get even worse with the interjection of SJW anti white politics into a largely white/conservative fan base.

Q1: What is your opinion of Donald Trump?
Favorable: 46%
Unfavorable: 47%
No opinion: 7%
Q6: Do you think NFL players should stand and be respectful during the national anthem?
Yes: 64%
No: 24%
Unsure: 12%
Basically, this shows us that the majority of NFL fans (not leftists who would never consume the product to begin with) agree with Trump.
The NFL will crash and burn as they will be able to do nothing about this sort of thing which will continue unless they put extremely severe penalties on the players (due to revenue loss) who may at that point delude themselves into thinking they're MLK and keep going as fueled by the Tariq Nasheeds, Cenks and Shaun Kings of the world.

Culture warring and outrage? Have you even heard of identity politics, SJWs or the PC culture the left is pushing? Rights push keeping statues and standing for the national anthem to respect the men/women defending the flag. (i dont even care, it doesnt bother me what a bunch of guys that are good at playing a game think)
^That is probably the more comical things you have said and don't even realize how ironic it is.
All leftists like you do are post daily meltdown threads over tweets and stupid chit that is forgotten about. Waking up crying and clenching your teeth over Trump.
You need to re-evaluate your own issues. You live in constant misery over the POTUS.
You can't make this chit up. Says the most rational thing of his entire life but has been why his own ideology has pushed people to the right, lmao... Truly doesn't know what direction he is facing.USMC 0311

he's definitely the master persuader with his base. the literal pied piper of trumpville.
he was able to get his base to turn their back on the most white, blue collar of all the big 4 pro sports.
but no surprise there - republicans have been cucking their base against their base's own best interest for a few decades now - trump is just a con man at a whole different level. lol.It's hard to win an argument with a smart person.

honestly, i think you are wrong here.
i got pushed to the right over all the SJW bullchit and grey-area'ing the left has done with the law using morality as the judge instead of the law. Then the constant outrage from the dumbest chit- constantly using race baiting and calling people white supremacists just because they voted for Trump.
That rhetoric alone is not the thought process of rational people. Whether or not I agree with Trump I will never agree with people that can't keep themselves rational.USMC 0311
