I wonder the same about the NFL. Granted, have not kept up with the numbers but their caving to the woke kneelers cost them plenty at least early on. I 'get' that they were pandering to the younger audience, but have to wonder if the backlash has hurt them in the long run. We were big NFL fans, season tickets, merch, watched games every Sunday. Walked away after the Kapernick incident. But I am in a town (KC) that seems to have been willing to forgive and forget. Arrowhead packed every Sunday and half the church was wearing Chiefs garb this Sunday. SMDH. Way too many of my Conservative friends yakking it up about going/watching/supporting the team.

My son in law works MLS as a camera guy on the field, especially football, in New York. I think it’s just as big as always— he has to turn down work often. He was required to jab up and I’m sure he’s required to get that despicable mouse shot too. He has had afib episodes in his past as well—50 yo. I pray every day. He has to carry a 40 pound camera on his shoulder.

So sorry to hear that. Both of my kids and their spouses got the original 2, and won't say if they have gotten more. They clam up and change the subject, other than my son who has said he's not/not going to get the booster, and have just let it go. Job did not require it, but he wanted to go on a cruise and go to concerts, so he did it. Other than an appendicitis a week after jab 2 for my daughter in law, none have had any adverse effects. Yet. But I still pray; it's all I can do, they are grown adults who made the choice.

My son hasn’t and won’t ever take the vaccines. My daughter took the initial set of 2 because the physicians she knew assured her they’re safe. Since then she realizes it was a huge mistake and deeply regrets it. She has turned to holistic, non-traditional healthcare. Fortunately she’s very healthy and hasn’t had any adverse effects yet. I’m glad she woke up quickly but the ones who continue to get all the boosters are playing Russian Roulette.

I’m a lifelong GB Packers fan (and shareholder) and I lost interest when the Kapernick kneeling started. The loss of respect during the National Anthem, the effeminating of the NFL, and now the wokeness…I’m done! These overpaid millionaires/billionaires need to understand their base but the commissioner who lives in leftist land, NYC, apparently values the progressive leftist mentality more than the average fan who sacrifices a lot to attend these costly games. Sadly, the Packers are everything to GB.

The original is F (actual F word said) Joe Biden! 👏👏 👏👏👏

The lady newscaster said they were cheering on one of the NASCAR drivers, Brandon someone. Let's go Brandon!

What I have heard them cheer at football games on TV is F (say the actual word) Joe Biden! He doesn't deserve anything polite.

Thought it was let’s go Brandon?

That's what the newscaster tried to play it off as. It was ar a NASCAR race. The crowd was clearly yelling, "Fu(k Joe Biden!" There was a driver that won (I think) whose name was Brandon. She said they were cheering, "Let's go Brandon!"

Yeah. I remember that. It’s just less polite now. No problem for me however. I’m tired of polite.

It’s sounds a lot more like Let’s go Biden to me. Was that whole thing changed? I listened twice.

No, it's the original chant....F Joe Biden, vs the more polite version. At least that's what I heard.

Ok. Didn’t catch the first F word. Of course OK if it’s that at this point.

Yup. It seems hard for many people to make an about face on American life permanently. 😕

Yeah, what's up with that? Are all "conservatives" RINOs? Does that mean they root for the devil when it LOOKS like God might not win?
