First Sponsor Pulls Ad Dollars From The NFL
 

It begins. We suspect NFL owners, and their media lapdogs, may be about to start paying attention to what President Trump (and the fans of the game) are saying (and doing).

First, Bloomberg reported overnight that fans who agree with Trump shared lists of advertisers on social media networks while calling for boycotts along with hashtags like #PunchThemInTheWallet.

Richard Levick, a crisis communications expert, says the NFL deftly navigated the weekend’s challenges but expects no shortage of hazards ahead.

But now, following President Trump's warning yesterday that...

At least one major company has pulled his company's advertising and sponsorship money. As The Times Free Press reports, two years ago, Cleveland businessman Allan Jones was proudly showing off his newly acquired Hardwick Clothing-brand suits by providing the wardrobe for NBC's on-air talent during the network's broadcasts of NFL football games.

But after NFL players and coaches challenged President Donald Trump and many took a knee during the national anthem played before their games over the weekend, Jones said he is through sponsoring the wardrobes or advertising on stations that air the National Football League.

As a reminder, the league and its 32 teams made $1.25 billion from corporate partners and advertisers last year, according to ESP Properties. For decades, big companies paid vast amounts of money to bask in the associative glow of the NFL’s perceived dynamism, passion and vigor. Now they’re paying vast amounts of money to bask in the fiery hell-broth of the culture wars.

I'm not even going to read it because it's fucking stupid.
ESPN is not going to cancel football and nobody is going to cancel cable TV.

Get the fuck outta here with this dumb shit.

Companies that stop ads with the NFL will make themselves broke; not the other way around.

"Let's all go broke because some Black guy took a knee".
Now that's just stupid.

:2 cents:


This is going to be another MOAR (Mother Of All Rallies)

Not caring. I could care less who stands and who kneels. I'm still watching football.

It's just that simple.

If there's one thing Trump is an expert on, it's businesses going to hell.

I'm actually all for everybody losing money over this.

It's perfectly fine with me that people who failed to support the cause of stopping police
brutality go broke.

The NFL could have made a statement a long time ago about police killing Blacks and
nobody would have needed to protest.

Fuck the "fans" who don't care about the lives of 70% of the people who perform for their entertainment.

Trump supports these type of illegal, helmet to helmet, hits :

Change happens, and not every institution is equally worthy of respect.

The MSM and the NFL don't compare with the Marine Corps.

I know quite a few people who think all this PC bullshit is harming and not helping the nfl. These are hard legs who watch it all the time and are starting to get pissed.

Say what you will.. That is something.

yup, America has sucked your nasty cock since you were born and all you do is cry about it :2 cents:

As if anyone really gives a flying fuck about what the NFL's opinion on anything other than football is. Especially it's "educated" players opinions. Knowing damn well those fuckers have never opened a book other than a play book. Play football or get the fuck off the field. I already pointed out in another thread there have been 5 active player murders total. All were black and all were killed by other blacks. 3 outside of nightclubs and 2 by their own goddamn wives (who probably spent too much time at the clubs). Your 70% (actually 100% here) is getting killed by it's own. Work and preach on that and get back with me. Otherwise GFY.

Watching football with man players is stupid anyway
Fuck everyone

^^^^^ What this man said.

So some dip shit who provides suits isn't going to? No way a major sponsor. That's like saying the local car dealer who buys a local ad during a football game on tv is some how a major sponsor of the NFL

As Chump has showed us, greed takes precedent over everything else. Some pissant stops buying ads, there are 4 others waiting to buy those spots

Pretty much the opposite of what I'd expect a Marine to say?

Surprise; he's not a brainwashed zombie.

:2 cents:

it seems these fantasy football companies own the NFL now

"Our companies will not condone unpatriotic behavior!" said Jones

Respect.

Now being patriotic is being brainwashed?

In a way you could say so, but it is the good kind of "brainwashing".

Keep sports out of politics
Keep politics out of sports

It's that simple.. People want to be entertainend and not being confrontend with a protest that has nothing to do with the game. :2 cents:

Sport is one of the only things on this planet that can make people really feel united. Fuck all this bullshit. :321GFY

Well said. Unfortunately various libsters, PC, SJW and other specimen does not think so.

NBA with "won't host all star in Carolina", NFL with knee shit etc etc. All leftard policies pushed by sports.
