From my friend Phil.

Didja see in the news that fewer players knelt this week? The NFL is discovering that their fans don’t give a crap about “social justice”. They just want to watch football. People have turned off their TVs. The NFL can try to blame it on online streaming, hurricanes and other crap, but all polls show that it’s the kneegroes disrespecting the flag and the national anthem that has turned them off.

The NFL made a serious PR move by not fixing this last year with Krapperdick and then not addressing it during the exhibition season this year. Then they doubled down by having owners link hands with players and Jerry Jones kneeling with his players. They chose the players over the fans. They chose to give their fans the finger. Now their brand is tarnished. As I wrote earlier, they can always get new players. It’s harder to get new fans or to get existing fans back after they have lost them. Bad move Goodell. Bad move owners. Bad move coaches. Bad move players.

Continue to quit watching the games. Boycott Nike. Boycott Anheuser Busch.

True story. I grew up in the St. Louis area. I was weaned on Budweiser. I haven’t had a Bud in a long time and I was gonna buy a sixpack last week. Then when I heard A-B’s stupid response last week that they supported the flag but also the right of the players to protest disrespect it, I decided I would not buy any Budweiser after all. Take a stand A-B. Don’t weasel. Nike came out unconditionally for the players. They don’t deserve the business of normal Americans.
