The NFL and Socialism
Hey football lovers. It’s just about that time again. Pull the beer from the frig and gather the troops for a Sunday afternoon of your favorite sport! Perhaps a little popcorn would make it even better. Too bad you aren’t allowed in the stands, rooting for your favorite team! Oh, well. Perhaps it is all for the best. Considering the men who now make millions from the very country they deem isn’t worthy of their respect or honoring the national anthem and flag.
On Sept. 10th the NFL season kicked off with a marquee matchup. Despite having a captive audience viewing the game in their homes, I read where the Nielsen ratings were down 16 percent. Sunday night was even worse………28 percent. Rightly so.
Most football fans resent the players disrespect of the national anthem and the politics that invade the sports arenas. However, there is much more here than just disrespect. The fans frustration is only the tip of the iceberg when they analyze the real ideology that lies behind this so called “taking the knee!”
Many professional athletes feel they have a responsibility to speak out about injustice, as they perceive it. The BLM movement, which they support, is much more than just about so called police brutality. The leadership of the Black Lives Matter uses the vague desire to make this country a better place for the black community but in reality is a cover up for the classic Marxist strategy to create a utopian one party state. The radical socialist strategy is to polarize society. Socialism has never worked and never will. This along with the Green New Deal will bring our country to a standstill!!
The end of the road is dictatorship headed by a strong central government who is in control of the economy which in turn controls the lives of its citizens. With the promise of social justice and socialized medicine, many well intentioned BLM supporters and entertainers are devouring the hand that feeds them.
Although the stadiums are empty with the threat of the COVID virus, there is more danger here than even the virus can inflict. It is the polarizing tactics of the BLM supporters and the football players themselves, and the disregard for the very freedoms that have made our country the greatest on earth.
NFL’s fans………..change that channel!
