The owners are rich; the players are rich. The gambling palaces are rich. The media that covers football is rich. So why are millions of non-rich taxpayers forced to help support these clowns? From Samantha M at Sports and Nonsense via zerohedge.com:
“END RACISM.” The NFL has had these ridiculous two words displayed in giant font across every end zone in every stadium and at every game throughout the season since 2020. It has since decided to stop doing it after the 2024 season concluded. Remind me, what happened in 2020-2024 that stopped happening in 2025?
In case you forgot, Donald Trump won the election in landslide fashion and the NFL made a business decision to once again go with the tide. “Biden bad. Trump good.” This is presumably how the NFL front office decide things based on how quickly they seem to change their entire ethos. They didn’t really change though. If a player openly supports President Trump, it is kind of quietly frowned upon instead of being outright cancelled as it would have been in 2020-2024.
My question is if the NFL blanket agrees with and is seemingly subservient to a political party instead of what would be best for their fans and investors, then why are we the U.S. taxpayer having our money given to them? Why are we allowing them to maintain antitrust protections? Why is there no increase in oversight or contractual revenue sharing? Why are we not more selective in allowing them to choose who their sponsors are? Why are we not getting more for our money aside from unreliable economic models? Why are they not mandated to stay politically neutral? All of these are fair questions that you, the NFL investor, should have answered.
Let’s look first at how ridiculously easy it was for the left to infiltrate the NFL, which is a multibillion-dollar organization by the way. “END RACISM.” Does anyone else find it absurd that the NFL is painting “end racism” in ten-foot-tall letters at stadiums filled with tens of thousands of white fans who paid an average ticket price of $216 each to watch teams that are 70% black play on one of the two days they have off from work? Does the NFL think these people are mostly racist and paid $216 dollars to show up and celebrate their racist ways with one another?
