Yesterday morning, Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s First Take went off on a tirade against Colin Kaepernick who either made a conscientious abstention from voting through non-participation- basically taking another knee over standing up; or he was simply lazy and disinterested. Either way, he undermines his own credibility to the political cause he came to… Read more »

NFL considering pulling the plug on Thursday Night Football?

Awful Announcing

Matt Yoder2 hrs ago

 

Nobody likes Thursday Night Football. The players and teams don’t like it because if the extremely short week and the toll that it takes on everybody involved. The fans don’t like it because the quality of play takes a noticeable dip from games that are played on Sundays because of the short week. And shoot, the networks probably don’t like it either because they have to pay an extra couple hundred million dollars for games that they could have the rights to air on Sundays.

 

But in Roger Goodell’s quest for world domination and putting the NFL on your televisions seven nights a week, Thursday Night Football has expanded into a full season’s worth of games. A few years ago, it was initially expanded to a half season as a ploy to put exclusive games on NFL Network and boost the league channel’s distribution and carriage fees.

 

Alas, with ratings taking a tumble this season and the complaints about Thursday Night Football getting louder, the NFL could finally be coming to the realization that less is more.

Understanding Colin Kaepernick

(Snip)

Nonsense. Not voting for Hillary Clinton is exactly what one would expect from a serious far leftist. From Kaepernick’s perspective, to vote for Clinton over Donald Trump would be, in the words of a communist acquaintance of mine during the late 1960s, to “play good imperialist, bad imperialist.”

If you truly believe that American democracy is a hoax and that there is no real difference between Democrats and Republicans, you are either the ultimate cynic or the captive of an extreme anti-American ideology.

Colin Kaepernick is not a cynic.
