The backlash against the NFL allowing players to kneel during the National Anthem is now hitting the league in the pocketbook, as payday lender “Check Into Cash” CEO and owner of Hardwick Clothing Allan Jones has decided to yank all advertising from the NFL – tweeting”Our companies will not condone unpatriotic behavior!”
In a followup statement, Jones said “For the 29 states we operate in, this isn’t much to them, but it’s a lot to us. The Tombras Group is our ad agency in Knoxville and our national media buyer for both TV and radio (for Check Into Cash) and don’t look for Hardwick on the NFL either,”
Noting to see here!
In order to shield TV audiences from in-stadium backlash, NFL camera operators have been instructed to avoid crowd shots during last weekend’s games to avoid capturing images of fans counterprotesting the protests – according to Sporting News.
By covering one of the most significant days in NFL history with rose-colored glasses, the networks cheated viewers. We got an incomplete picture of what really happened in stadiums on Sunday and Monday.
Yes, the main television focus should have been on the players, coaches and owners sitting, kneeling or linking arms. But fans hold the ultimate power over the networks and the league, and they were missing in action during coverage.
CBS denied that they instructed the camera operators to look away, however viewers have taken notice of networks using up-close, ground-up shots of players, coaches and owners – conspicuously avoiding images of fans during the national anthem.
Not to worry, I’ve got your booing right here:

Consequences for stupid behaviour and actions. Fans want to be entertained. Not politicized by mostly dumb jocks chasing a piece of rubber in a rectangle.
Nothing could be worse for payday lenders than real equality and an equal footing for all.
I suspect that life getting better for minorities mean less checks into cash for those loan shark dick bags
I can live without the NFL.. particularly since the Giants suck. Been watching Premier League soccer.. watching Messi is so much more entertaining than Beckham.
That said, Trump is simply a douche. So are all the whiny faux flag wavers who don’t have a clue what it stands for. Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln would be taking a knee too.
WOO-HOO. ra-tat-tat, ah-ra-tat-tat I’m the biger biggest patriot. i love the red the white the blue. i got 4 no 5 defer – ments, cause my foot wouldn’t fit in my shoeeee! please enjoy the Big Tax Cuts i proposed them all just for youuu. If the military needs money we can all sing “Yankee Doodle” dooooooo.
Bigly*
Nice rhyme
Trump still bitter the NFL didn’t want him as an owner

When the national anthem becomes the most exciting part of football. Strange times we live in.
