The NFL season is starting again, and millions of Americans are getting ready for another year of disappointment. What used to be our national pastime has turned into a weekly lecture from millionaire athletes who hate the country that made them rich. The league that once brought families together now drives them apart with its endless woke messaging.

Remember when football was just football? Players showed up, played hard, and went home without telling us how to think about politics. Those days are long gone, replaced by rainbow jerseys, social justice slogans, and players who kneel during our national anthem. The NFL has chosen sides, and it is not with regular Americans.

Every Sunday, we get bombarded with messages about climate change, racial justice, and other liberal talking points. The game breaks are filled with commercials pushing progressive agendas instead of just selling us beer and trucks. Even the announcers cannot help themselves from making political comments between plays.

The worst part is how the NFL pretends to support our military while pushing anti-American messages. They wave flags and honor veterans for a few minutes, then spend the rest of the game promoting ideas that tear down everything our soldiers fought for. This fake patriotism insults every real American who loves this country.

Ticket prices keep going up while the product gets worse and more political. Working families cannot afford to take their kids to games anymore, but the NFL does not care about its real fans. They would rather chase approval from Hollywood celebrities and liberal media than serve the people who built their sport.

The players make more money in one season than most Americans make in a lifetime, yet they constantly complain about oppression. They live in mansions and drive fancy cars while telling us how terrible America is. Their disconnect from reality is stunning and offensive to hardworking people everywhere.

Many patriotic Americans have already walked away from the NFL for good. They found better ways to spend their Sundays than watching overpaid athletes disrespect their country. These smart folks are watching college football, spending time with family, or supporting local high school teams instead.

The NFL had a choice between staying neutral and picking a side in America’s culture war. They chose to embrace woke politics and turn their backs on the fans who made them billions of dollars. Now they can live with the consequences as more Americans tune out every single week.
