#1 It's associated with maleness and "the patriarchy," so it must he expunged...

#2 Not sure how the Left can hate the National Felons League and all of its PC-ness and minority-heavy make-up. And the Rooney Rule.

#3 Newsflash, football killed itself by lethal injection of leftist politics.

Same way pro-BLM signs in the window didn't prevent businesses from being looted, vandalized and burned.

#6 BLM'ers knew those signs were b.s. The National Felons League are more "sincere".

Imagine, women in the front office now, on the pitch as referees, even as coaches on the sidelines.

I guess its a time-old tradition: the Left (and others) hate success.

Pro sports is less and less and less a part of my life. Even the NHL joined the PC fray.

#7 Newsflash, football killed itself by lethal injection of leftist politics.

Yep - it happened entirely on Roger Goodell's watch. I've never seen a CEO type get rolled so easily by the left.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen Goodell and MA Gov. Charlie Baker in the same room at the same time? It would explain a lot.

At least until they flood the sport with trans like they are doing with track and field, swimming, etc...

Rugby anyone? From a bumper sticker: "Rugby players have balls of steel."

#10 I recall nearly 30 years ago, Rush Limbaugh said the left wants to destroy football.

#11 The NFL has been in a rush to destroy itself for about a decade now.

#12 Look around, football? yes. But anything of tradition that involves and encourages participatory social cohesion. Well, along with destroying small business and any semblance of social order. Why would anybody do such a thing?

#13 Its not about the left folks. Its about the middle class. There is an effort to remove the middle class, and its working. COVID has closed most small businesses, projections are that over a third will not return. This causes a rift in the middle class, you either have a good paying job with a large company or you slide out of the middle class. Everything that the middle class enjoys, brew pubs, eating out with friends, football, basketball, all the local sports like softball are all gone. Once the middle class is destroyed we as a republic are through. There will be the upper class, and the sheep. But keep wearing your mask, stay at home, give all your rights away for security, and sit idle while the key to our republic - fair elections- is stolen. So again its not the left, its the global elites, in both parties that are driving this.

#16 I remember an article a few years back (10? summavabich)

About someone who used to go to Patriots games back in the day. All grown up, he went to a game, and cheered.

Said he got the stink eye from the regulars who viewed it as more an event, like cheering during a movie and getting shushed.

#17 National Felons League can go under for all I care. From what I understand, Super Bowl viewership has been declining (include me in that). And over-exposure can't help. Now three scheduled games on Thanksgiving...a game on Thursday...Sunday night. But go ahead and play games every night. I don't care.
