Here is where someone more in the loop with the facts of multimedia should weigh in. I don't know whether Trump affected the 10% drop off of viewership of the NFL more than people starting to stream over buying cable. But I think that there is some effect of that drop off coming from Trumpers boycotting, and that affected the owner's decision.
#1 - Of course it's about a bottom line.
Yep. This could have easily been taken care of a long time ago and wouldn't been as much as a blip on the radar screen. But they (the NFL/Goodell) stood idle and let the media and the general public take to the "interwebs" and whipped this into a frenzy.
trolled by the president of our country who is doing his damndest to run us deeper into the gutter and who's trolling is like the pied piper for a bunch of dupes. i'm going to keep pushing back on crap like this from him and his followers, because without push back, this nonsense starts being seen as normal.
i don't know that it is that simple. this is in effect an employer requiring a show of adequate deference and "respect" to the government (and in this case, this specific administration) via acting in a certain way during the presentation of symbology. i'm sure the option of staying in the locker room helps get around any potential legal issues, but i don't think employers should be allowed to do this.
Sadly, the Trumpies agree with him. Look at the stories on Facebook about this and you’ll see people behind him on this.
He was close enough to question some inmates...I live in Lincoln, but spent 20 years in Omaha. A guy I worked with @ Mutual of Omaha told me that he grew up in Bellevue, and joined the air force so he could see the world. Where did they station him? Offutt.
Here in Huntsville, at every Huntsville Symphony Orchestra concert, the conductor starts the orchestra and then turns and leads the audience in the anthem...
At first I thought maybe it was the tradition of not having a President cause issues for private businesses repeatedly by opening his garbage hole or actively trying to attack them for political reasons... Or the tradition of not having a President fairly openly accepting bribes... Or the tradition of not having a President obstruct justice and attack the Justice Department on a daily basis... but then I realized it couldn't possibly be any of those traditions that they'd be worried about.
the good thing is the tradition of folks thinking they are entitled to, without any pushback, tell black folks to be quiet and know their place is alive and well.
