Not long ago, while rummaging through old boxes, I discovered a 1980 Pittsburgh Steelers calendar complete with team schedule. Final scores of each Steelers game appeared in the handwriting of a 6-year-old boy. In other words, like many Americans, I consider myself essentially a lifelong fan of the National Football League.
At some point, however, the NFL will leave millions of fans no choice but to walk away from it for good. After all, prolonged exposure to relentless lying corrodes the soul, and we should want no part of it.
At his annual pre-Super Bowl news conference on Monday, woke NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell showcased the shameless lies, unconscious ironies, and profound moral abominations at the core of the league’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies when he pledged to continue those policies despite President Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory in the 2024 election and subsequent efforts to dismantle DEI nationwide, prompting one user on the social media platform X to characterize the commissioner as “tone-deaf.
After all of the virtue signing, and social justice mess, I stopped watching. I want to be entertained by sports, not lectured to by some garbage DEI junk.
