And since the 49ers (team colors) are in the cartoon, don’t forget THAT THE WHOLE TEAM is going to work against our Second Amendment rights.
I just reread the accounting of the now infamous NFL meeting in NYC where some of the owners met with some of the players (along with some other NFL staffers and union flacks) ostensibly to “fix” their self-induced problem. Yes, self-induced and self-propagating issue of “taking a knee” during the national anthem and what it is doing to their Public Relation reputation, their ticket sales, their TV ratings (yes, all in the toilet); the owners are now scared – they have to stop the hemorrhaging and start protecting their substantial investments. In reading the post, this stuck out – a message of surrender to the players (emphasis mine):
It was a very good session; the players were passionate and very impressive; we’ve got a lot of work to do to address their concerns and to use the NFL platform to address these difficult social, racial and justice issues.
So what IS their business model now – lecturing us while only throwing a football once in a while?
In order to be able to own such a team – one has to be rather successful in business to amass the fortune to buy one. That by itself means they have to be smart, right? Which means that they know how to please their customers because customer are NOT obligated to buy their products in a capitalistic system (unless customer ability to choose is overridden by the Government, as with insurance).
So why aren’t they seeing that their customers aren’t buying their product as much as they used to be – and realizing that customers are more important than the players? Players are merely high priced hired help. When I work for an employer, my function is to make more profit for the company – that is my proper place. As a daycare owner, the teachers were a means to an end – profit and to show an ROI. That’s fundamental in our system. I value the labor employees do and compensate them as best as I can for them. Profit is the other side of that.
One of the owners got it right and is taking a lot of heat for saying a common phrase that many of us would go “yeah, that about sums it up”. McNair, owner of the Texans said “We can’t have the inmates running the prison“. Well, with the above quote, it seems like that is EXACTLY what is going to happen.
This is what happens when the ideological Left takes over an institution and hijacks its primary mission to their own. It’s clear that the NFL is heading into full SJW mode – and many of us are just going to walk away.
Fewer customers means less revenues – and they’ll only have themselves to blame.
And the SJW set will just go to the next victim with no tears at all.
