RE: Trump Spikes The Football 🏈 on Roger Goodell's Face
The President (I capitalized the P when speaking about the POTUS) and Congress give them tax exempt status. If a company does not want government scrutiny, then don't accept tax exempt status. But they do so the President alluded to taking away that status. President Trump's comment caused Mr Goodell to finally get a backbone because he knew the NFL would fold.
Your definition of unAmerican is what's scary and you probably vote. Your last statement doesn't even make enough sense so I can disect it.
President Trump bringing attention to this issue will fix the problem. Mr Goodell knows he's not dealing with a red line in the sand President. The kneelers in the NFL will either get in line or get out. That's what the viewers want. We don't want politics in sports. Next, we need to get the commentators to keep their political views to themselves. Just comment on the game.
Having the government give special favors to certain companies is unconstitutional. It allows the government to gain control of that company and dictate it's policies. This is Fascist. The NFL is in on this scam, I don't disagree with that. It's their fault for taking special favors from the government. They now need to do what the government says.
The Pentagon absolutely paid teams for patriotic events to boost military recruitment. That is not disputed. The players were NEVER on the field for the Anthem previously: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/11/04/millions-paid-pro-teams-patriotic-events-sens-flake-mccain-say/75141688/
"We don't want politics in sports". Then don't make a deal with the government for tax breaks and $$$.
