The Glass House of the NFL

Victor Davis Hanson

"The league’s national significance is rapidly diminishing, due to hypocrisy and hyper-politicization in a once-loved American establishment."

"The National Football League is a glass house that was cracking well before Donald Trump’s criticism of players who refuse to stand during the national anthem. 

"The NFL earned an estimated $14 billion last year. But 500-channel television, Internet live streaming, video games, and all sorts of other televised sports have combined to threaten the league’s monopoly on weekend entertainment — even before recent controversies. 

"It has become a fad for many players not to stand for the anthem. But it is also becoming a trend for irate fans not to watch the NFL at all.

"Soros - a supporter of the anti-police Black Lives Matter movement and alt-left Antifa thugs-actually worked for the Nazi party during his youth. Let that sink in."
