Scan the sports headlines, and it's not hard to see that the NFL and college football are increasingly in the crosshairs of the radical left's bid to take down America through COVID. And if recent history is any indication, Roger Goodell will soon fall all over himself to show that the NFL and he should be patted on the back by Dr. Fauci and the rest of the ruling class elites, in step with the leftist trends they all (wrongly) believe to be sweeping America.
Football has always been reviled by the left.

Goodell is woke. He won't do a thing. The NFL gets what they deserve until the owners grow a spine and kick Goodell's butt to the curb. As for College football, the Universities are ran by libs. Once the $$$ dries up and they can no longer afford those insane salaries, THEN and only Then will they want a reversal. The libs do things that support themselves, everyone else, be damned.

When covid was all the rage last summer most of the NCAA conferences were all too quick to fold. Then, it supposedly got better and even the Pac 12 started playing football games (for whatever that's worth). But now that the "second wave" is here and it's supposedly worse this time around there isn't a mention of canceling the rest of the season. The CFP rankings are out and there WILL be play-offs and a championship game. Interesting.

The NFL stopped being an American sport when it allowed its players to kneel during the National Anthem and then embraced the BLM movement. I hope the Left does the kill the NFL. It deserves to die.

To paraphrase the snake Carville "it's the media, stupid!". They called the election and they continue to promote fauxi as the pandemic oracle through all of his mask/unmask vacillations. Fool me once, shame on you...The covid infection curves are vey similar for states with mask and lock down requirements and those without them. as Annie said " you can look it up"

You can't destroy football, baseball or any other sport. The games are there to be played. Check out a high school Friday night in Texas or a double A baseball game.
What needs to go are the megamillionaire spoiled brats that charge 300 bucks and 8 bucks a beer to watch them. And when they kneel down for the anthem they should just STAY down.

I've listened to Rush Limbaugh nearly as long as he's been on national airwaves. He told us that that former all-American sport of football is in the crosshairs of those that would end the game. He told us this more than 10 years ago. The man is a prophet!

The demise of pro football is on the owners as well as Goodell. They allow him to destroy their investment, that is on them, and they probably all think that a Biden administration would bail them out too. That is one line taxpayers do not want to cross.
Rush has been predicting the demise of the NFL by the Left for a couple of decades now with all the rules change they forced. They are going to hate admitting Rush was right yet again.

The NFL has more problems that just Covid-19.
Covid will just be the nail that gets the coffin lid slammed shut.
Personally, I don't care. This is my 4th year of NO NFL in my house.

Does it really matter? When I found out that Patriots owner Robert Kraft is a majority owner of the gambling syndicate Draft Kings, I realized Professional Football has devolved into just an entertainment venue, like Pro Wrestling. The Refs are used to manipulate the scoring. There was a game this past weekend where a player from each team went for a ball in the end zone, and BOTH were called for pass interference. As an entertainment sport the NFL is trying to woo every special interest group, while disenfranchising their core fans. Would you pay $ 300.00 to attend a pro wrestling match? Me neither.

The dead NFL will be missed by very few. Those who play the game have no other options in life where, with minimal intelligence, they can drive a Lamborghini and wear enough gold on their necks and limbs to set off airport metal detectors. If they present a sincere apology and return to the days of $20 tickets and $3 parking they might have a chance to recover. Other than that, they are gone.

The NFL is more dead than they know. A few seasons ahead and those million dollar contracts just could beome 12K contracts just so the social justice warriors can continue playing.

In a way we can all justifiably cheer that the NFL is getting what it deserves as it inevitably slides into obscurity.
However, this is also a sad loss for all of us. The NFL was truly and uniquely an American sport, enjoyed by a very wide swath of the population. But, like so many other things, the liberals ruined it....perhaps *because* it was a uniquely American sport.

@#6- I too, have been listening to Rush since the first day he went national. Early on , he started with his politically correct football predictions ( on Fridays) . So we're talking about his ability to see ahead at least a quarter century. I'm surprised that the left doesn't blame the NFL's demise on him.

I believe it was in Dallas a few years ago when a black radical nutcase shot and killed 5 Dallas police officers.
And when the Dallas Cowboys sought permission from Goodell to wear helmets with a small numeral 5 on them to honor the dead officers, Goodell said no.
Now, Goodell has allowed teams to drench hatred on their playing fields and uniforms.
Go to hell, Goodell.

I read the sports headlines and not how many white quarterbacks have been severely injured this short season.
As they get attacked by their black opponents their own black players, supposed to guard them, step aside.
I hope football becomes all black.
Are there enough pimps, drug dealers and gangsters in the underground economy to keep the NFL aloat?
Bet not.

No need for COVID to destroy it, BLM already took care of it, which is further proof they don't care about black people given the make-up of the NFL.

Ten years ago it was brain injuries that was used as an effort to eliminate football. Now it's covid.
