However, I don't really give a shit. Football blows.

I absolutely agree that football blows but I have to give a shit because these fucking professional sports teams are all raking in BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars to fund their fucking businesses.

This is a major government subsidy that I want prohibited. Too many cities are going broke paying for stadiums and arenas where millionaires run around making money for billionaires and the taxpayers get fuck all from the deal.

That too.

While we're at it, scrap the scam that is the NCAA.

...but has problems denouncing white supremacists.

So, Nike feeling particularly suicidal today.
No idea why.

Just buy the dip.

And the memes go on...

Pretty sure we'll see more kneeling this year.

[N_Fiddledog]

And NFL TV ratings continue to slide.

And now look at all the free advertising they are getting too.

What's actually happening is that broadcast networks lost 16% of their viewers in 2017; cable networks lost 11%... using Nielsen’s “C3" ratings formula, which counts DVR viewings.

The NFL only lost 9%, so less than TV as a whole.

NFL ratings are down... yes, but only if you don’t compensate for the overall decline in TV viewers due to streaming services. If you do compensate for the decline, NFL ratings are up.

Don't cloud them with facts. It's too much to handle.

There's lots of people he hasn't denounced. So fucking what?

The man is not a puppet and he's not going to dance for the media when they 'DEMAND!' that he do or not do what they want.

Morons. Nike already has their money.

Won't get any more.

Nike’s biggest market is going black males. They’ll be fine.

Were any of them smart enough to take the shoes off first before they soaked them in kerosene and lit the matches?

These are the same people who complain that the other side is easily offended.

Oh what do you expect?
They're ranting about First Man, that movie about Niel Armstrong because it doesn't show them planting the US flag on the moon.
They're so dangerously nationalistic down there you just have to say "flag" or "patriot" and their brains turn to mush.

Yes, because the USA had so little to do with the moon landing.

You know that was fake, right?

Bart needs to run that one past his new pal Chuckles. Bet there's a whale of a tale about the entire space program to be had from all the "tuned in" red-pill folks.
