So much for "free speech", huh?

This is a good time for me to let you guys know that those members who continue to support the NFL are welcome to continue have discussions about the game without any interference from members who oppose the NFL.

If you have any questions about this, please ask now. We're not going to eat our own over this. We will agree to disagree and all will be well.

The NFL, like my country, has changed so radically I don't recognize it anymore. My love for the game is now relegated to long-ago childhood memories.

Interest in other celebrity-oriented entertainment is also escaping me. The idea of watching a movie in which the lead actor calls for the death of everyone who voted for Mr.Trump repulses me. They literally wish me dead. Or watching a program where the lead calls for Trump's assassination, or wants to punch him in the face, or claims Trump-won states deserve the death and destruction visited upon them by recent hurricanes (BTW, Houston is overwhelmingly liberal & voted bigly for HC, but many of these Hollywoodenheads are completely ignorant about the very country that enriched them).

Comedians who I once thought funny, are now anything but. Entertainers I once admired, I now find disgusting. They piss & moan like spoiled children who didn't get their way. They live secluded from ordinary people, forgetting that they are actually businesspeople, needing to appeal to All Americans to buy tickets for their movies, purchase their CD's, and go to their concerts and stadiums.

Whether they like it or not they are businesspeople, they just don't know how to behave like businesspeople. If they took the time to think, perhaps look at the red-soaked 2016 electoral college map, they might realize how many of their customers they insult everytime somebody sticks a mic near their mouth.

63 million people voted Trump. Out of 3,142 US counties. 489 went to HC. 2,623 to MrT. That's TWO THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED, AND THIRTY FOUR MORE THAN HC. I know, I know, H had more total votes (2.9 mil), & that might even be a more compelling argument if she had actually won that many more votes, but the fact is, voter fraud was rampant, with illegals openly admitting to voting.

Officials have uncovered many other forms of voter fraud as well. Even at that, H won the uber-left People's Republic of California (the greatest illegal voting, BTW) by 4.2 million -a state that has slid so far left, it has run into Hawaii. They can't get any lefter, nor can they get any further from the politics of the rest of the country.

There is a reign of terror going on now from media-empowered lefties seeking to impose upon us their most intrusive policies. So many live in fear, concealing their conservatism, lest they lose their jobs or suffer the wrath of lefty. This explains the wildly inaccurate presidential polling last year - people were uncomfortable telling pollsters their intentions for fear of the intolerant & often times violent Soros-funded thugs, right up to the moment they pulled the curtain and cast their votes in private.

The issue with the NFL has nothing to do with freedom of speech, because that is between the Government & the Governed, not between employers/employees, nor between citizens. Private industries CAN regulate speech spoken on Company time, by those wearing Company uniforms, on Company property (re NFL, I should say OUR property since it's tax dollars that fund the arenas in which these millionaires play).

-Starbucks’ CEO repeatedly shoveled his politics on customers over and over again. After Trump’s travel ban, he announced the hiring of immigrants only. Americans voted with their wallets, & Starbucks has lost 24% of its brand value, & that CEO was put on waivers.

-Target squandered 30% of its stockholders’ wealth, or $15 Billion, adopting far-left, pro-transgender policies. Now, they're begging for people to come back.

-Twitter went full-on SJW, and immediately lost tens of millions in ad revenue. -YouTube, fond of censoring conservatives, now has advertisers pulling out, and losing millions in ad revenue.

-Liberals are so out of it, it's unimagineable that others don't agree with them or -they don't care.

Can you imagine Sears, GM, or IBM disrespecting the National Anthem? Saying "screw you" to half the nation, but still expecting everybody to continue buying their products? When MLB went on strike in 1994, it took all the way until 9-11, 2001 for fans to come back in numbers not seen since the early 90's - and that was just a strike.

The NFL is dissing the POTUS, everyone who voted for him, all the veterans who've ever shed blood, lost limbs, or died for this country, all soldiers still overseas on far-away battlefields, ALL people in law enforcement, all firemen, and many others who put their lives in jeopardy, so that these players, averaging $2 million a year, can commit career suicide, depriving Americans of a brief moment of escapism every week from stressing out over Rocket-Man, or all the nuclear-tipped ICBM's currently pointed at every major city in America.

Do you see what they are doing? Trying to build a case of Trump being a racist that they say he is. Trouble is, he didn't "attack black athletes" he said PLAYERS.

And no one is correcting this which isn't unexpected...

They're building a narrative for themselves. That's it. It's an insular world surrounded by a one-way mirror and all they see is each other. For example, they (in their bubble) talked up Trump's craziness and bigoted views until the election, convincing one another that the idea of President Trump was a fantasy that no one believed in. Well no one they knew anyway.

Go back and watch the election night videos and you see authentic, real dumbfounded people. How can this be, they asked. This is impossible! No one I know would even dream of voting for Trump.

They're going to be surprised at the shocking revelation of sliding ratings and eroding viewership. "No one I know thinks these players are doing anything wrong!"

It's the same thing as "No woman I know would ever dream of voting for that pig!" Except they did. In droves.

Silently we go about our business and get shit done. Eventually they will wake up one day and realize that Madonna and Ashley Judd don't reflect the people of this country outside of a dozen major cities.

. . .whoever posted about the NFL denying the Cowboys permission to put a small decal on the back of their helmets honoring the Dallas police officers killed at the BLM march has a great point I hadn’t previously considered. When taking that into account the NFL is taking sides, and the wrong one at that. The NFL in essence isn’t promoting open discourse but rather promoting one side over another. I can deal with protesting but not if the NFL is going to allow it while at the same time ruling against honoring police/military/firefighters etc. I’ve got some serious re-evaluation to do.
