I'm assuming you mean they couldn't care less. If that is the case I guess they just don't think through that their viewership is financially supporting BLM.

NFL to feature social justice messages on end zones in every stadium as Goodell says league will 'not relent'
by Emma Colton, Social Media Manager | September 02, 2020 09:54 AM

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell doubled down on the league's support for Black Lives Matter activism, including featuring social justice messages on end zones.

“The NFL stands with the black community, the players, clubs, and fans,” Goodell said Tuesday. “We will not relent in our work.”

“Confronting recent systemic racism with tangible and productive steps is absolutely essential ... We will redouble our efforts to be catalysts for the urgent and sustainable change that our society and communities so desperately need," he continued.



I wonder if Roger Goodell will address the systemic racism of black players that think Hews control the world

Not holding my breath on that one
Wake me up when 57% of starting cornerbacks are white, 20% are Hispanic, and 5% are Asian.

Black people's failures in so many things are due to biology, just like their success at positions like cornerback. The NFL can take their racist pro-Black campaign and shove it.

Then these people aren't true football fans It's all about the game with true fans. Nothing else really matters.

It takes time and energy to do everything. We all have a limited amount of both. Do I really need to explain this to you? We all choose where we spend our time and energy. I don't like wasting either on things that I have a negative reaction to.

Murderer Ray Lewis had no problem getting work for ESPN. But that just fine.

Nonsense. Most true fans have moral standards that are more important to them than a sport.

The OP is talking about things DURING The game.

Nope. They don't care. Have you seen the fans in the stadium. Have you even been in one. This is about sports, not morals. Stay home, it won't matter. Everyone just wants sports back.

But it's not. The NFL, NBA, MLB have all made that very clear. It's not about sports at all.


It's about shoving their sick, demonic agenda down all our throats.

Yes I have, many times in many cities. Most sports fans I know are intelligent and don't want their money going to terrorists.
