They need to stop this - they turn this into a social justice
Platform - they will lose viewers and attendance
In the first place, strange to think that objecting to injustice is political. Shouldn't we all be objecting to injustice? How is this a R or D thing? Are the Rs in favor of injustice and the Ds against it? Vice versa? What?
Second, the constant threats of boycotting football is just silly. How many fans are going to skip the Super Bowl because Tom Brady calls Trump out for being an ***? Get real.
