NFL HELL: Owners/TV networks face mounting losses as Trump called boycotts spread

Holy crap! WTF is this?:confused:

Just more daily affirmations of how utterly stupid and dumbed down the bread and circuses of professional sports has become. And tangentially supportive of some of the theories presented in this thread that the NFL has become just plain boring and frivolous. And that this may help explain the empty stadiums. The traveling video above underscores my utter disinterest in the NBA. As an example.

I believe there is a parallel between sports fans accepting NBA rule bending and accepting U.S. administration rule bending.

Definitely. The players are too stupid to even play the game they claim they play, the referees are useless/corrupt and the owners of the league/teams are making tons of money because the public is convinced they couldn't be fucked with as much as they are. Kabuki theater.
 
Apparently anthem kneeling protests are spreading to cheerleaders too:

Cheerleaders' protests reportedly shut down by Georgia sheriff, lawmaker

Rep. Earl Ehrhart and sheriff Neil Warren were reportedly 'furious' about kneeling at Kennesaw State

On football's biggest stage, meetings between the NFL and its players have much of the league talking up cooperative social activism in the wake of pregame protests across professional sports.This is a contrast to the dozens of public statements by President Donald Trump, who has publicly ignored the NFL's stance on protesting players' pursuit of discussion on social equality and criminal justice reform, instead alleging that those who kneel during the national anthem are doing it to "disrespect" America.
But Trump isn't necessarily alone in applauding the "great anger" that he says stems from those peacefully protesting on the field.
Investigations by NBC's WXIA-TV (11Alive), which were relayed with additional reporting by Yahoo Sports, suggest that a "furious" state representative and local sheriff attempted -- and essentially succeeded -- in thwarting protests at the collegiate level.


When the Kennesaw State University administration started keeping its football team's cheerleaders off the field for the anthem, the reports indicate, it wasn't just a response to five of those cheerleaders kneeling during a Sept. 30 playing of the national anthem. It was also, as implied through text messages obtained by 11Alive, the result of pressure from Rep. Earl Ehrhart and sheriff Neil Warren.
The messages, accessed thanks to Georgia's Open Records Act, revealed that Ehrhart and Warren told each other how "furious" they were upon seeing the cheerleaders kneel in protest of police misconduct and racial inequality. They also showed Ehrhart accusing school president Sam Olens of "coddling" the cheerleaders, to which Warren was revealed to have said the following: "Let me know what I can do to help you stop this BS on taxpayer-funded college campuses."
Further text messages, as reported by 11Alive, showed Warren eventually assuring Ehrhart that he had spoken with Olens and stood up to "the unpatriotic cheerleaders" and "these liberal that hate the USA."

Houston Texans owner on national anthem protests: 'We can't have the inmates running the prison'

Houston Texans owner Bob McNair "stunned" other NFL franchise owners last week by saying they need to oppose players' efforts to kneel during the national anthem, and saying that owners can't have "inmates running the prison."

McNair’s remark, reported by ESPN, came after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones discussed the business issues facing the league, as well as his call for a mandate requiring players to stand during the national anthem.

It was "old news" before Trump brought it to the front again. People were not tuning in or not tuning in because a couple guys knelt during the Anthem. They care more about the game (or don't care about the game).

Seriously?

Now you're just being ridiculous.
 
You know what was so idiotic about this?

I had to read five stories before I found out what the "racist gesture" was.

This whole country has turned into a bunch of fucking pansies.


Astros’ Yuli Gurriel Escapes World Series Ban, but Will Miss 5 Games in 2018

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/28/sports/baseball/yuli-gurriel-apologizes-racist-yu-darvish.html

During Game 3 of the Series on Friday, Gurriel, who defected from Cuba in 2016, hit a home run off Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish in the bottom of the second inning. After Gurriel returned to the dugout, he was captured on camera smiling and then raising his hands as if to stretch the sides of his eyes. It seemed to be a clear, and pointedly insensitive, reference to Darvish, who is from Japan.

It seems progressives have psychic abilities to know the thoughts and motivations of others.
 

Time to ban Dr. Seuss books?

If you were trying to make argument that political correctness regarding symbolisms of racial stereotypes has made exponential progress in recent decades, then it seems to be supported by current facts on the surface.
But in various state-sponsored policies and deep stage operations, racial supremacist dogmas continue to be worshiped, injustices continue to be delivered when the price is just right.
All got to see a tiny glimpse of massive media sponsored ironies prevalent in our pop political culture when recently DGP bundler Harvey Weinstein was also exposed as "women rights" champion.

Texas city drops Israel boycott ban for individuals but says businesses must still reject BDS to get hurricane aid

US Politics Jesse Rubin on October 26, 2017
Following media uproar, Dickinson, Texas, decided today it will no longer require private citizens affected by Hurricane Harvey to sign a pledge guaranteeing they will not boycott Israel as a condition to receiving help. But businesses seeking aid must reject Israel boycott.







But this is digression. Getting back to standing up for human rights while kneeling down for media neocons cherished stunts, another eventful Sunday is unfolding:

Texans plan pregame protest of Bob McNair's comments

9:59 AM ET
ESPN.com

players are planning to protest as a unit before Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks in the wake of team owner Bob McNair's controversial "inmates running the prison" comment, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Texans held a players meeting Saturday in Seattle to decide how to handle Sunday after McNair's comments surfaced, the source said.
Texans left tackle Duane Brown told ESPN's Josina Anderson on Sunday morning that he anticipates "up to 65 to 70 percent" of the team's players could kneel. He said the players would not remove the team's decals from their helmets as had been discussed.
McNair's comment was made during the owners meetings in New York earlier this month. Referring to ongoing player demonstrations during the anthem, he said, "We can't have the inmates running the prison."
