And, if this theory is right, calling it the "MAGA Football League" will be absolutely NO understatement!
Someone, I believe on Twitter, made a very good point today about the ESPN article regarding the J.D. Power poll of over 9,000 sports fans.
They made the point that the fact that the National Anthem protests being the #1 reason that the about 1,000 fans who lowered football viewing over last season did so, though correct, only won by two percentage points over both game delays/penalties in games, as well as the off the field issues the NFL is confronting.
And that criticism is correct and valid.
But consider how much WORSE it is if the following statement is true:
Since we all know the NFL is all but the fifth branch of the United States military, and that the only real demographic in which football is increasing in interest is White and middle-class, could it be that ESPN, on marching orders from Goodell, is aiding in moving the league further to the Right?
I don't think I need to go into, at this time, some of the ramifications. Let your mind roam on those.
EDIT TO ADD: Jerry Jones will expel from the Dallas Cowboys anyone refusing to stand for the Anthem.
So, Jerry, how long before you go all Yankee Stadium about it?
