The NFL is in the entertainment industry, no different from the movie industry. You go to a movie and don’t like or agree with its message, so what? They got your money.

But the one HUGE difference between a single movie and the NFL? The NFL relies on their customers’ REPEAT business. Unhappy with unpatriotic NFL players?

Don’t buy a ticket to their games.

Anyone who thinks the way to show the NFL displeasure is to go to a game and boo a player taking a knee forgets 1 thing…buying a ticket got them what they want from you.

They don’t care if you boo – THEY GOT YOUR MONEY!

‘ThugFL’ has a grievance with an issue that doesn’t exist, according to EVERY statistic that’s been gathered on law enforcement activities over the last ten years. Kneeling to disrespect a country, its law enforcement, AND (now) its President is raw deceit…

…but…hey…once a thug, always a thug.

Now that a backlash from the NFL’s customer base is growing, trying to claim that ‘it’s not about the flag’ wants you to forget they do it during the anthem honoring the flag.

‘Not about the flag’? Yeah, right…then why not take a knee during a pre-game warmup?

BCP recommends you keep ticket money in your pocket, and take the kids to the zoo.

On the heels of what appears to be another failure of Republican Senators to fulfill their promise to repeal Obamacare, comes efforts to infringe on the Executive branch.

They’re trying to figure out how to stop THEIR OWN PARTY’S President from firing the special counsel who was improperly appointed to investigate where there is no crime.

Arguing the fine points on Mueller’s witch-hunt can wait. The irony of the Legislative branch FAILING TO DO THEIR JOB, then pivoting to try to stop President Trump from doing HIS job is just too bizarre for words, deserving of a scalding rebuke.

HELLOOO, Republicans…our Constitution is based on a Separation of Powers concept which means – for those too full of yourself to realize – you can’t infringe on the power of another branch of government absent constitutional authority, and then with 1 option.

Impeachment.

Good luck with that, fools.

Condemning a Nation based on a Lie is despicable. One would hope that a hatred for ‘anything Trump’ wouldn’t color that judgment, but NRO, sadly, seems to be in its grip.

Otherwise, how to explain when one of NRO’s senior correspondents watch millionaire athletes ‘take-a-knee’ to falsely condemn America’s police for excessive force against black Americans, and blatantly supports that false condemnation to blast the President?

That ‘take-a-knee’ Violence-Lie condemns all Americans, because the flag symbolizes ALL Americans, Mr. French. They’re taking a knee under false pretenses, and asking the rest of America to swallow their deceit. Calling them out for that deceit is justifiable.

As an American, President Trump has a right to be appalled, as do loyal NFL followers.

We’re appalled that you support Violence-Liars who justify disrespecting the flag, sir.

Don’t you read anyone else’s articles at National Review Online?

Your own words condemn your article, Mr. French. “We stand in respect because the flag represents a specific set of values and principles: that all men are created equal and that we are endowed with our Creator with certain unalienable rights.” 

A “specific set of values and principles”…two of which are honesty and integrity among us as Americans. Where’s the honesty and integrity of their take-a-knee deceit, sir?

Or do you just write this stuff…but not really believe it?

We admit we’re not ‘senior correspondents’ by National Review standards – we’re just everyday Americans, tired of the mendacity of every Race Hustler that wants to crank up the guilt a few notches, and doesn’t mind diminishing American values to do it.

Then along come you anti-Trump’ers, to aid and abet the process…and in the process, make us VERY THANKFUL we’re not of the ‘senior correspondent’ ilk.

In this new millennium, we’re deeper into the mire of ‘wrong-shaming’ – that new state of debate whereby it doesn’t matter if your standing is riddled with lies, as long as you’re…

…louder.

(And, of course, it doesn’t hurt to have FakeNews pushing your lies, non-stop.)

This is the culture of Progressives…and how to deal with the non-factual but emotionally charged messages they spew can be frustratingly elusive, given their propensity of mis-labeling their issues with the very adjectives that could be used to defuse their claims.

‘Divisive’ is one of their most common verbal parries. Disagree with their issue, factually and specifically, and they don’t care…they just point a finger and scream ‘divisive’, and FakeNews media has their back, claiming ‘honest grievances are being voiced’.

But they aren’t…honest, that is. Since ‘taking a knee’ to protest an out-of-control police violence against the black man is in vogue, we’ll use it as the example. As previously posted, it’s a matter of statistical fact that police violence against blacks is not truthful narrative, so disrespecting the flag by claiming a falsehood is the real divisiveness.

And statistical evidence proves the case on every point in the issue, but with the Left quickly claiming high ground they don’t deserve with a complicit media covering their back, it’s a matter of sound-bytes – bringing forth the facts takes too many of them.

(And of course, they make it tougher by playing the ‘racist’ card, to seal their lies.)

The divisive nature of the Left’s issues will be around for a long time, given the media’s willingness to give them a veneer of credibility. How to deal with it in a convincing yet factual matter is the difficulty we face, and the only effective adjective seems to be ‘Liar’.

So, let’s go through it, shall we?

On the Left, when it comes to making false claims on issues, there’s…

• Race-Liars – where they play the race-card to shut down rebuttal
• Violence-Liars – where they claim social injustice by today’s police
• Income-Liars – where they play class-warfare game using envy and jealousy
• Climate-Liars – where they call anyone questioning lousy climate models ‘deniers’
• Vote-Fraud-Liars – where they claim proven cases of vote fraud don’t exist
• Education-Liars – where they put union members needs above students
• Gun-Liars – where they continue to push the futility of gun-control laws
• Abortion-Liars – where they claim a fetus is not a life
• Tax-Liars – where they claim disproportionately higher taxed rich…aren’t

Next time you’re engaged with a Liberal on these issues, handle their deceit by calling it what it is…“wait a minute buddy, the FACTS prove you’re a Race-Liar, etc, etc, etc.”

We reiterate: “…black men are three times as likely to commit violent crimes as white men. To the extent that cops are more likely to use force against people who commit violent crimes, which they surely are, this could easily explain the disparities we have observed in the rates at which the police use force.”

Don’t like violent force against black men by police?

Tell black men to stop disproportionately committing violent crimes.

As explained in his op-ed, Stephen Moore lays out the cogent argument that the latest GOP healthcare plan puts the responsibility where it belongs…on individual states.

Hopefully, certain GOP senators will wake up to reality.

This whole ‘disrespect America, take-a-knee’ controversy will not end well for owners. The key to fan-based sport events is the “FAN”…and they aren’t happy with any of this, especially when the entire justification for their disrespect is based on a LIE.

The NFL is in the entertainment business, and a look at the empty stadium seats should tell any owner that TV ratings are similarly going empty…which means profits plunge. This isn’t rocket science. Basing disrespect of your country on a LIE is never a winner.

These are tragic days for long-time NFL fans, but many will not stand for disrespect.

HUGE respect, however for Alejandro Villanueva…the only Steeler to take the field and salute his flag yesterday, as his team huddled in the locker-room, in Lie-solidarity.

Thank you sir – you are a true Patriot among weak-kneelers. Your jersey’s on order.

Memo to owners – sure, your high-paid employees can disrespect America…

…and Americans can disavow the NFL.

‘Divider-in-Chief‘? Please! Liberals, ease up on the dishonesty, okay?

Claiming police are indiscriminately killing unarmed blacks, when nothing is farther from the truth, isn’t divisive? But holding liars and demagogues accountable is?

Facts can be inconvenient things (especially for FakeNews con-artists).

As noted in previous blogs, it’s a FACT only 16 unarmed blacks were killed by police in 2016, but 600 blacks were killed in Chicago last year…so when high-paid athletes want to ‘take-a-knee’ disrespecting America to protest against police instead of thuggery that is running rampant throughout our large cities, we’re suggesting THAT’S being divisive.

(How is it a President who demands respect for our Nation can be labelled divisive?)

The tragedy is a FakeNews outlet like USA Today doesn’t see the difference…or care.

For highly-paid professional athletes to justify ‘taking-a-knee’ to protest against this Nation is as despicable as their lies to justify such actions, and the organizations’ management that allows such behavior with mealy-mouthed platitudes is disgusting.

Whether it’s because slavery once existed in America, or some idiot thinks police will kill blacks indiscriminately on American streets, larger truths are being ignored deliberately.

First, just 75 years after America’s birth and our Constitution was ratified, we fought a war that cost over 600,000 lives, that ended slavery. America PAID her price for this issue 150+ years ago; minorities in this Nation are better off than anywhere else.

Second, police are NOT indiscriminately killing unarmed blacks on our streets. Last year 16…we repeat…SIXTEEN unarmed blacks were killed by police nationwide, and some/most of those incidents occurred during scuffles with them during/after crimes.

We repeat, during these disgusting acts of dishonesty, larger truths are being ignored, in order to push an anti-America, anti-Trump, anti-police agenda…behind racism charges.

How many of these pampered millionaires know slavery was a Democrat institution?

How many of them know the Republican Party began with an anti-slavery agenda as it’s primary purpose? How many know the first REPUBLICAN president ended slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation? How many know that document was a Republican president’s executive order?  We’re betting very few of them know, or care.

How many of these pampered athletes know that, to their eternal disgrace, Democrats fought over 100 years AFTER the Civil War to continue segregation and discrimination by passing Jim Crow laws, lynching, and using Bull Connor tactics to suppress blacks?

Again…we’re betting ZIP, ZERO, NADA…none know, or just don’t care.

And when you compare 16 unarmed blacks killed by police last year to the hundreds of unarmed blacks killed every year just in Chicago, ask yourself why, in the face of that kind of indiscriminate killing, groups focus their anger on…America’s police force.

The answer’s simple.

The Left wants to tear this country down, shred a Constitution that limits government, and remake America in their own vision…and are channeling the efforts of Useful Idiots in order to accomplish that very purpose, with a Constitution that limits its citizens.

So, before judging harsh, brutal comments of President Trump, give some consideration to the truths being ignored, and you may just come to the same conclusion he has…

…this is a game of Life…where the Left – should they win…gets to control YOURS.

Those who condone taking-a-knee against America…could end up on their knees.

BlueCollar will ‘take a knee’…against any sport venue deceitfully attacking America and our law enforcement…by turning them off, and not supporting them.

(UPDATED: we added links for reference. Ed. Note – violent crime deaths in Chicago totaled 762 last year, roughly 80% of that number were black Americans, many caught in the crossfire.)

Talk about ironic…how is this not seen as the height of hypocrisy?

How do millionaire black athletes disrespect a Nation that, through its individual liberties gave rise to their aspirations, yet ignore the devastation abortion has levied upon them?

How do they spew profanities at police officers, yet ignore Chicago’s violence legacy?

What gives them the right to condemn the use of violent force against black criminals, yet ignore the fact that black crime is 3 times more likely to be of a violent nature?

How can they get a pass for ignoring these REAL injustices…

…but be praised for posturing against BOGUS injustices?

FakeNews media and Democrats give them license…that’s how.
