NFL Flameout - The Hay Is In The Barn

When the plane is hurtling to the ground without power at 400 mph, you can either pop the chute and pray you survive, or you can go down with the plane. If you're really stupid, you set fire to the interior because you're mad about the situation.

The NFL is doing the latter.

A survey just conducted shows that the vast majority of Americans think that athletes should stand during the anthem.

Q7: Last week, Donald Trump said NFL players should stand and be respectful during the national anthem. Do you think NFL players should stand and be respectful during the national anthem?

• Yes: 64%
• No: 25%
• Unsure: 11%

Q8: On Sunday, a number of NFL players knelt during the national anthem in protest of Donald Trump’s statements, including players from your favorite team. Does this make you more likely or less likely to watch your favorite team’s games in the future?

• More likely: 30%
• Less likely: 50%
• No difference: 20%

These results are devastating for the NFL and show that NFL owners and management are reacting in exactly the wrong way. At this rate, in five years the NFL will be playing on public soccer fields with only iPhone livestream coverage.

Unable to stop themselves from criticizing President Trump, and in the face of overwhelming public sentiment against them, wrong-thinking RINOs weighed in against the President.This is a serious mistake, akin to setting the cockpit on fire and going down with the plane, instead of popping the emergency door and parachuting down.

The grassroots base already doesn't like the GOP establishment, equating it with the "swamp". Today, the base absolutely humiliated the GOP establishment in Alabama. Also, swamp monster Bob Corker surrendered, with a primary challenger already in the race against him at home. These are harbingers of the upcoming 2018 storm of grassroots upsetting establishment candidates. While the tone-deaf GOP establishment virtue-signals "solidarity" with America-hating professional athletes, the base is moving ahead throwing them out so the Trump agenda can move forward.

As former Auburn University coach Pat Dye used to say, "The hay is in the barn. Now it is time to play the game."

Judge Roy Moore faces off next against the Democrat in the general election.
