NFL commits suicide by Trump with politically correct protests

USA Today reports:

Remember when you could enjoy pro football without getting lectured on politics? Not any more.

The NFL is on a politically-correct suicide course, alienating fans and wrecking ratings. It can thank former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who last year started the fad of refusing to stand for the pre-game national anthem because he did not want to “stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." This year the flag protests are a mass phenomenon, with over 200 players taking a knee last week. Members of the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars appearing at London’s Wembley Stadium even chose to dishonor the U.S. flag on foreign soil. But they stood for “God Save the Queen,” the anthem that was playing when most of Africa was placed under British colonial rule. These jocks probably were not history majors.
