I'd like nothing more than for sports stars and other celebrities of all political persuasions to keep their traps shut about politics. But since the ones on the left won't do that holding the few on the right to that standard would be retarded.
The left spent decades pushing politics into every single aspect of entertainment, they’re now pissy because it’s backfiring spectacularly in athletics.
It's not backfiring, this is an abberation. The NFL has become a super lefty organization. It's a league with all men, and the cancer they harp on is breast cancer.
The NFL went far left to get female viewers and play games in Europe to expand the market after alienating their male fanbase. They have not recovered ratings or viewership since 2015 which was the year before krapdick. Their actual viewership peak was 2006, which they almost replicated in 2015 but were still short about ~1.6 million viewers. They’ve been bleeding ratings trying to pander to a new audience and college football has been cleaning up sticking to the basics.

Could you help with a source for this? All I'm seeing from searching is articles saying 2015 was the top year. They may just be picking out the regular season ratings, though. https://archive.ph/60fEc
The NFL for the 2023 regular season had its best average viewership for games since 2015 -- and tied with 2010 for the second-best season on record. Regular-season games averaged 17.9 million viewers this season, up 7% from last year, and the best figure since the league averaged 18.1 million in 2015 (the all-time record).
Look at Chris Pratt. Dude literally only said he is Christian and loves his family and he got death threats and surprisingly enough relatively dropped off in the amount of projects he’s in. They didn’t even make the entertainment space liberal, they brainwashed the entirety of its followers to lunacy. The fact anyone currently with a career would support Trump is nigh unthinkable in today’s climate
I remember when Beto was running for Senate in TX Lebron came to a game against the Spurs with a Beto hat. This guy didn’t seem to mind. Also the “protesting police brutality” is such a dumb statement. The writer of this article most likely fuels the “police kill thousands of black men” narrative. I would’ve loved it if someone had asked Kaepernick about the numerous blacks killed by other blacks since he couldn’t shut up about dead black men.
They started injecting politics into sports. ESPN was once the perfect “guy channel” but they ruined that. Michael Jordan was right.
Clay Travis once said of the media covered shark attacks like they do police shootings (which are relatively rare), then nobody would go to the beach. Also during the summer of Floyd I showed someone cases of cops shooting white people. They were actually shocked but I guess if you watched msnbc all the time I could see how you would be oblivious to that
He is reported to have said “republicans buy sneakers too”. He has been criticized for “not speaking out” but that just means not expressing the correct trendy opinion. I’m pretty sure he is a democrat but from a business perspective it makes perfect sense to not alienate customers
Seven years ago, Colin Kaepernick was in the same space on the opposite end of the spectrum. He was asked about kneeling during the national anthem at NFL games. When he was asked about it, he didn't run from it. He stood on everything he believed in. He lost his job because of it. He wasn't afraid of the consequences. He didn't care what people thought. He just did what he thought was right.
At the very least, even if you didn't agree with how Kaepernick protested, you had to respect at least his message and what he was willing to sacrifice to ensure everyone received it.
So wearing a hat is the same as intentionally disrespecting the national anthem over something that statistically impacts white people more per capita? Krapernick lost his job because he was a horrendous QB who took zero risks to maintain a nonsensical QBR (which doesn’t account for things like intentionally throwing a safer short pass on third down, guaranteeing a completion AND a turnover) and subsequently torpedoed every opportunity the NFL tried giving him because being a pariah was more profitable.
"I support Trump" is apparently the same as "Fuck this shit hole racist country. I want a violent revolution and dead cops. I'm literally a slave. Now, give me a million fucking dollars you dirty ass honkeys"
Maybe he doesn’t want to speak to you retarded journalists because he’s well aware that anything he says can be spun into racist, bigoted, whatever rhetoric that could cost him his job. The fact he wore the hat at all shows more bravery than the faggot behind the computer screen that typed this shitty article.

Everything is political
NO NOT LIKE THAT

I’ll have to dig back through, I remember seeing it listed somewhere where 2006 had 19.6 million average viewers.
A LOT of football stars are fan of Trump. They just don't open their mouths because they don't want to get slapped.
A lot of football players commented positively on Trump after he survived the first assassination attempt.
Look at Chris Pratt. Dude literally only said he is Christian and loves his family and he got death threats and surprisingly enough relatively dropped off in the amount of projects he’s in. They didn’t even make the entertainment space liberal, they brainwashed the entirety of its followers to lunacy.

That and nobody would want to fuck with Nick Bosa. He's a beast of a man.
He walked back his statements. He started saying I'm not even that Christian.

I wish cops killing blacks was as big of a problem as the left thinks it is…

What did Michael Jordan say?
He is reported to have said “republicans buy sneakers too”. He has been criticized for “not speaking out” but that just means not expressing the correct trendy opinion. I’m pretty sure he is a democrat but from a business perspective it makes perfect sense to not alienate customers
It's a gamble to say what he thinks.
That is good to know.
Well he apologized for saying it in that special that came out recently. He also said his words were overstated, and he gave money to Democrats.
That has some scary reference to the state of our country.
Couldn’t believe he apologized. The statement is correct. You don’t attack potential or current customers
When I read articles like this or see people behaving like the author, all I can think is, "it didn't have to be this way."
Which will also be my mantra when they finally get what they want and it boils over.

Don't forget let's shit on the white family that raised me when my crack addict mother loved crack more than me.
He wasn't risk-averse, he was just bad. He threw back to back pick sixes in 2015 lmao
I’m talking about the year he got dropped. He made more short throws on third down than any other qb in the league that year to pad his qbr
