I love football. High school is my favorite, but I like all levels. But I am watching no NFL games this year. Especially the Eagles. But this boycott has nothing to do with outrage of phony patriots incensed that black men refuse to stand for a national anthem that endorses slavery. My boycott is for other reasons.
First, I watch no television. So I can only see a game if I am there in person. I can afford a few high school games, but not the pros.
Second, I'm a jinx. I love listening to Merrill Reese do the play-by-play.But it finally hit me last hear that when I listen in, the Eagles lose. So I have stopped and the Eagles are winning.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Phoney Patriots is a perfect description. Lets not forget Timothy McVeigh, Dylan Roof, and Eric Frein where also self-anointed patriots who express their views by oppressing others.

ReplyDeleteFYI, if you come to an Emmaus game, you get in free after halftime.
Somewhat silly blog but you are right about slavery. The lefty loony rich democrats have marginalized blacks for years with their social programs that emasculate the men and the family structure and the pushing of infanticide with abortions offered to poor blacks under the guise of helping women. The school systems that exist to keep the unions going and meanwhile the kids in inner cities are cheated of an opportunity to prosper. You have finally seen the light, Bernie.
ReplyDeleteThe NFL made its bed, let them put themselves to rest. We don't need the NFL to redefine for us the American people, the reason we honor the flag or the reason we sing the national anthem.
ReplyDeleteToo, the American people are not divided as the Democrats wish we are. Less than 1/1000 of one percent of the population does not constitute a division among 330 million citizens. The only division the NFL is concerned about is the division between the revenue generated by the fans and the NFL's pockets.
Yes, the whiners get 99.9% of the press, but we've got what the NFL counts, we've got the votes with our feet and the votes with our dollars.
NFL... You're Fired!!!
How very stupid of the NFL to poke a finger in the eye of your formerly adoring fans, that have bestowed so much wealth upon it.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see the Clown President on TV I take a knee and pray for our salvation.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see President Trump on TV I thank God we didn't elect Hillary Clinton
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see Trump on TV I curse Clinton and wonder if there is a God.
ReplyDeletetrump, what a snowflake.
ReplyDeleteThe sunshine patriots have brought this on themselves. When they decided to make every sporting event a military patriotism show with giant flags and military personnel everywhere, eventually in a free country some people would use it to make a statement. Why the hell are sporting events now like a 1930's Germany nationalistic show? They are freeking sport games, keep the other stuff out of it. This is just another ploy to make America happy with 1% of the population fighting our never ending wars. Enough!!!
ReplyDeleteThe NFL is fixed as is all professional sports .... *proof* Jets vs Patriots just today
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see trump on TV, I wonder how does he ever find time to be president between his many golf rounds?
ReplyDeleteBelieve me.
Same exact way Obama found time between HIS many, many rounds of golf, 5:42 AM ...
ReplyDeleteNFL = No Fans League.
