NFL Flips on Anthem (Again)

ESPN's social justice movement is killing their network

Its sad to see it happening all over the sports tv world despite the obvious harmful effects it is causing

Millennials in the workforce.
Snowflake generation still hasn’t learned that no one gives an eff what they think. They still believe their personal opinions are of paramount interest to everyone around them.

Man I'm not at all looking forward to the UFC moving from their FOX broadcasts to ESPN with that new contract they just signed. Not that FOX Sports was flawless or anything but the ESPN brand is toxic as far as I'm concerned

ESPN and the UFC have agreed to a five-year deal that will bring the mixed martial arts league's entire rights package to ESPN in 2019.

"ESPN's unparalleled multimedia platform is the perfect home for the UFC and will deliver tremendous value to both parties," ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro said. "UFC fans are passionate and loyal and we plan to bring the full power of ESPN's live coverage, powerful storytelling and unmatched distribution to serve them in an unprecedented fashion."

It could be cringe, it also could be monumental destruction of the SJWs. Could you imagine Joe Rogan vs Stephen A Smith over Fallon Fox? Epic.

The American national flag and anthem are the equivalent of Nazi salutes.

Libertarianism, everybody. Not even once.

If you think the national anthem and flag represent something Nazi, then why are you here? The planes fly out of your local airport at least five days per week. You can pretty much go anywhere you want.

I have no idea where Fife is going with all that. A second ago he was all on board with employers setting rules for employees. Now it’s Nazism?

Apparently happy hour starts early in Tennessee.

That's what people outside of Tennessee call lunch.

Lighten up, Francis.

I don't feel obligated to state my personal opinion about saluting the flag; which is a separate issue from whether I am coerced to salute by the state. Whether it is a condition of my voluntary employment is yet another issue. It should be pretty obvious to anyone who knows me.

I do find it joyful to make fun of the un-wisdom of mixing up politics and sports; especially by assholes and media gimps with no skin in the game, which is what that meme post is getting at.

Don't be willfully obtuse with me, bub. No points for that.

Lol made me look.

Yeah, you’re right tho. None of what I posted is real. Nobody’s watching you.

I can’t replicate it now, but that is a legit quote tag I pulled from the Seattle thread. It jumped out at me because it didn’t quote properly, making the post look like shit. When I re-quoted the same post it worked and the tel: entry was gone.
/shrug

Plus, never said no one was watching. Said. No one would bother bearing the costs of investigation if some random handle on some obscure site completely unaffiliated with the business said non-PC things.

I dunno. No tel: tag anywhere, but it’s not impossible.

And yes, this is a plainly marketed product now. Not like a background check, it’s simply a quick data pull from our “public” phone records.

As for motivation, look no further than Googles cleansing of wrong-think. It doesn’t need to be justified as ‘harmful to business’, it just needs to convince some middle manager that it’s “icky”.
