I’m a little embarrassed to admit how much time I spend watching NFL performances: about two hours per year. I’m sure the Super Bowl actually lasts longer than that; but life is short and I’ve only got so much time to give. So I’ll donate approximately half my annual allotment to comment on the current foot-ball foofaraw. The conflict owes its genesis to former ball-tossing mediocrity, Colin Kaepernick. Reportedly, Mr. Kaepernick was the fruit of a fleeting union between a 19 year-old white girl and her black boyfriend, who customarily disavowed the relationship upon learning of her pregnancy. The girl subsequently put the child up for adoption, where it was claimed off waivers by a white family who apparently provided a loving and stable household. So to summarize: the black father of a mulatto boy abandoned him in utero, while an unrelated white family stepped in to raise him with care and attentiveness. So predictably his allegiance is exclusively to blacks. At any rate, his disdain for the ineffectually racist society that had elevated him into a lifestyle of wealth and fame inconceivable to 99% of its members, became a weight he could no longer bear in private. So he cultivated a roof-height afro to establish his aesthetic bonafides, and began kneeling in protest at the national anthem. Unfortunately for Kaepernick, his talent proved insufficient to buoy his convictions, and he soon enough found himself not worth the hassle. Though in his absence, equally oppressed millionaire imitators began to take up the protest. Eventually (and inevitably) this drew the wandering eye of Trump, whose subsequent criticism has impelled even more well-paid expressions of black contempt for the trappings of traditional American society. If there is any surprise here, it is only in that it has taken so long to occur. Blacks broadly do not like whites, and care even less for their history and its symbols. From their perspective, the American flag and anthem are representative of them not us. This intractable tribal division is a state of affairs the dissident right has been patiently trying to explain for decades. Though apparently it requires low IQ black prima donnas to articulate the concept effectively. Unfortunately mainstream bouncy-ball fandom is little inclined to absorb the lesson, and so finds itself perpetually disappointed by black expressions of separation and hostility. It is as if by supine fan-worship whites can extinguish the hatred their heroes hold for them. It’s an unlikely hypothesis, and one historical evidence continues to accumulate against. Of course stadium monkeys hold no monopoly on Sunday afternoon stupidity. The players themselves are even dumber. It simply does not occur how tenuous their own position is in this culture conflict. Their lavish livelihoods are premised entirely on the public’s continuing appetite for the same choreographed routines. It’s remarkable when you consider the huge industry that has blossomed around watching a skirmish line of armored mutants repeatedly crashing into each other for hours every Sunday. If we weren’t so inured it would seem surreal. Though these same commercial skirmishers indicate no awareness at all of how little those modestly compensated accountants, electricians, and plumbers in the stands actually require their services. Or, additionally, what salaries foot-ball players in less racist countries command–Cameroon, for instance. Thus players this afternoon will offer pious expressions of solidarity against the very people upon whose patronage they are utterly reliant. What they won’t offer are protests against their million-dollar paychecks. I guess there’s just some aspects of racist society a man learns to live with. But why should racist society live with them? That’s the question most minds don’t spend sufficient time contemplating. Despite what some think, fans don’t actually cheer for specific mercenaries. They cheer for a colored jersey. Whoever occupies it is their team. The next season it will be someone else. I once remarked to a friend that if all the players in blue exchanged colors at halftime with the players in red, he would spend the next hour screaming for the same performers he had just been cursing. He disgustedly told me I’d just ruined the game for him. I told you I was his friend. The point is that sports fan loyalty is extraordinarily elastic. And thus the cheers would rain just as hard for players wearing “Baltimore Ravens” jerseys if they were Mexican migrants being paid $7.50/hour on game days. This being an income level to which Colin Kapaernick may soon find himself adjusting. Now obviously the NFL syndicate has its own perspective on the matter. Like practically all big business, it has gone all-in for the left in America’s culture wars. As a result, you see no public criticism of its anti-American employees. Certainly not to the extent you would if they did something truly intolerable: like a touchdown dance, for instance. But the league is in as precarious a position as its players. Owners feel equal antipathy for the NFL’s conservative white consumers, while very much still coveting their money. So they must extract revenues from a customer base they would prefer didn’t exist. From climate-controlled box seats, to the sideline, to the offices at ESPN, there’s a uniform philosophy of Just pay me and go away. I personally don’t care for either condition of that deal. Hopefully NFL fans will eventually feel the same. None of whom actually need the mental novocain of professional sportsball. What they do need is an order of crispy fries. And whether Colin Kaepernick cooks those while kneeling is something we can look forward to taking up with the store manager.

Yet another writer who doesn't actually watch the NFL. The conservative types don't bother to pretend, the Lefties actually try to pretend they do watch NFL. I see this all over Twitter when I look. This is mostly a proxy war between the SJWs and cultural conservatives. What we don't hear that much from are the actual hardcore NFL fans themselves, the people who buy the tickets, buy the merchandise, buy the season pass via cable/Directv/internet. It's all just skirmishing between political types that seems to hardly involve any actual fans. That said, I did enjoy this delightfully meanspirited essay overall. Even if the writer barely watches a single Superbowl every year.
I'm sure the Joe Six-Packs out there are too busy preparing for the next Big Game by purchasing beer and nacho chips and getting their fantasy teams ready for Sunday. Despite what some think, fans don’t actually cheer for specific mercenaries. They cheer for a colored jersey. Whoever occupies it is their team. The next season it will be someone else. I once remarked to a friend that if all the players in blue exchanged colors at halftime with the players in red, he would spend the next hour screaming for the same performers he had just been cursing. He disgustedly told me I’d just ruined the game for him. I told you I was his friend. That pretty much describes the "average" fan.

I think the whole thing is generally destructive to the NFL as a cultural icon. It takes one of the last neutral topics for people to talk about and turns it toxic and political. It tears at the social fabric. The article doesn't mention it but Kaepernick only got interested in all this protesting because his girlfriend was SJW and Muslim and has some radio show. DailyCaller: Kaepernick’s Communist-Sympathizing Muslim Girlfriend Believed To Be Behind Protest, 8/29/16 What's she doing nowadays? CBS Baltimore: Kaepernick’s GF Appears To Compare Bisciotti, Lewis To Slave Owner, Slave, 8/3/17 Nessa Diab is a New York City radio DJ and regular on MTV’s Girl Code. The picture she tweeted shows Lewis with his arms around Bisciotti, along with a picture of Samuel L. Jackson with his arms around Leonardo Dicaprio from the movie “Django Unchained,” in which Dicaprio was a slave owner and Jackson was his house slave. . . . This comes after an ESPN report that Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Ozzie Newsome support signing Kaepernick, but Bisciotti was against the signing. Lewis also posted a video on Twitter suggesting Kaepernick should keep his activism private. . . . The Ravens had consulted Lewis on whether they should sign Kaepernick. So she's calling Lewis an Uncle Tom when he's trying to get the team owner to sign up Kaep to play. And comparing Lewis to a house n__. And people wonder why someone like Kaep who isn't all that good a QB and has a troublemaker commie SJW Muslim girlfriend isn't being flooded with contract offers from NFL owners? He's trouble with a capital-T and she is even more so. And after she kills his career, she'll dump him. She's all about herself and no one else. And Lewis? He joined the team on the field (though retired) to #TakeAKnee. Now there's a petition with 16K signatures demanding that the team tear down his statue at the stadium. Won't happen but still... But, yeah, it's all about the cops shooting a few kids that may or may not have had it coming. The whole thing has turned into a circus. No one even knows exactly what they're supposed to be protesting any more.

Replies to Comment # 5. BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Colin Kaepernick’s reported girlfriend tweeted out pictures Wednesday that appear to compare Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and Ray Lewis to a slave owner and slave.
