THE NFL HATES AMERICA: Anti-gun NFL’s pretend patriotism turned anti-Americanism shows the power of douches

Ah, witness the National Football League.

They have been anti-gun for decades, denigrating guns and gun rights, not only for the handful of NFL players who aren’t prohibited persons because of their criminal past, but also for everyday people like you and me.

The National Football League’s hypocrisy and selective decency standards reek like a post-game locker room. On the one hand, the organization refuses to run a firearms manufacturer’s self-defense Super Bowl ad under the guise of neutrality and taste. Yet, the professional football conglomerate routinely revels in raunchiness, gratuitous physical violence and anti-gun screeds.

Welcome to the National Frauds’ League.

Guns and Ammo magazine first broke news last week of the sports empire’s rejection of a commercial created by gun-maker Daniel Defense. The polished paid spot emphasized home security protection and self-defense without even showing or mentioning any of its actual products. But a quick flash of the company’s logo at the end of the ad, which includes a DDM4 rifle, apparently violated the NFL’s high-minded advertising regulations.

The fantasy-land football ad policy document will launch even the casual Super Bowl viewer into a fit of gigglesnorts. It outlines copious content restrictions covering alcohol, “nude or semi-nude performers,” firearms, gambling, and “movies, video games and other media that contain or promote objectionable material or subject matter (e.g., overtly sexual or excessively violent material).”

The NFL is free to accept or reject any advertiser it wants to, of course. But its “prohibited content” list seems a far more accurate description of your average Super Bowl half-time performance and ad rundown. Between Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunctions and Beyonce’s leather-clad dry-humping, the football execs have embraced lucrative vulgar ads over the years that have featured:

—An upside-down clown who appears to pour Bud Light beer up his rear end.

—A bizarre sex-change operation analogy to tout Holiday Inn’s hotel upgrades.

—A barefoot Kenyan runner violently dragged to the ground by white hunters and forced to wear a pair of Just For Feet running shoes.

—A flatulent Budweiser horse whose emissions cause a candle to torch a woman’s hair.

—Ad characters getting electrocuted, run over by buses, kicked, punched, tackled, thrown out of high-rise buildings, and attacked by crotch-biting dogs.

Skeezy Super Bowl spots have degraded women with everything from soapy car washes and jiggling bikini tops to squirty burgers and suntan lotion sessions to group stripper pole dances. The NFL regularly airs trailers for violent Hollywood movies and video games. In the aftermath of the Newtown massacre last year, for example, a commercial promoting the shoot-em-up flick “Gangster Squad” aired during a Colts-Texans game, and a spot promoting the M-rated video game “Hitman: Absolution” aired during a post-game show.

The NFL’s laughable ad policy also restricts “social cause/advocacy advertising,” presumably in the interest of neutrality. But the league itself has discouraged players from using weapons at home for legal self-defense and has opposed legal Wisconsin concealed-carry weapons holders from bringing their weapons into Lambeau Field.

Meanwhile, notorious motormouth Bob Costas was free to hijack Sunday Night Football last year to attack America’s “gun culture.” The wannabe MSNBC host exploited the murder-suicide of NFL player Jovan Belcher, claiming that “handguns do not enhance our safety” and ignoring the millions of successful defensive uses of handguns.

 

Then last year, we learned that the Department of Defense had to PAY $53 million for patriotic displays at sporting events, including paying the National Felon, er, Football League $10.4 million for patriotic displays at NFL games.

And here everyone thought these were genuine, heart-warming displays of patriotism on the part of the National F&*&up League.

And now, this year, we learn that the NFL denied the Dallas Cowboys’ proposal to honor the five fallen Dallas police officers – assassinated by a black radical – with a decal on their helmets.

The fact that the NFL hates our gun rights and works against them, and that the NFL has to be PAID to allow patriotic displays, and also refuses to allow tributes in support of slain law enforcement officers should make everyday Americans sick.

But now we have a growing passel of over-paid special snowflake social justice warriors openly disrespecting our nation and the NFL remains conspicuously quiet.

The question is, will Americans sit quietly by to these complete douche bags disrespecting our nation?  And to the NFL for sitting quietly by as they insult our nation and our cops?  Will we stop buying tickets and NFL merchandise?  Will viewership begin to decline for televised games?

The only way to force the NFL to take action is to hit them in the pocketbook.

Other pressure point:  Contact your Congressman and state Senator and ask them to sponsor legislation to remove the NFL’s tax exempt status.  It’s time to let them pay taxes just like everyone else.
