Was at a bar watching NFL with the bros when they kept showing his fucking face.
We tried to ignore it at first but they just kept showing it.
We started loudly booing. At one point I shouted “WHY AM I BEING FORCED TO STARE AT A FELON RAPIST JUST TO WATCH FOOTBALL?”
This bar is in California, but I guarantee some conservatives were there. Too bad. They’re filth and are putting felons and rapists on television during football games. I don’t give a fuck if it hurts their feeling for me to say this shit in a public space. Decorum goes out the window when you’re forcing sports fans to sit and listen to a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and insurrectionist.
The NFL is getting pretty fucking gross. Just in the last few weeks they’ve put a felon rapist on the air, one of their ex-quarterbacks stabbed an old man, and a new player ran from the cops and then blew his brains out.
I feel like the problems you listed with the NFL have always been there, you may have just glazed over them since it only involved the organization and players\coaches and not a president.
My two-cents on the matter: The NFL’s relationship with problematic decisions and/or optics, have been a thing for a long time now.
Military flyovers1
Strictly IMO: player “draft” process resembles an auction
Predominantly black player base with white team ownership
“Redskins” as a team name for far longer than the public felt it acceptable
Entire league suffering from concussions2, life-altering injuries after retirement
History of team owners doing all kinds of problematic stuff, but keeping their jobs regardless
My problem here is that we’re talking commercial sports, an institution one could feasibly use as a refuge from politics. But we add rah-rah military back in, opening the door for nationalism, because screw all that.
There are lawsuits out regarding a possible cover-up (going back a long time) by the league in this area, as highlighted in recent news.

The fuck is going on with that organization?
You can destroy my country, subjugate it’s people, but don’t you dare mess with my football!
This is why we shouldn’t have any monopolies on any sport. NFL is only big thing for Football, etc

One could stop supporting an already problematic organization.
