The National Football League (NFL) has, thus far, remained silent about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last week, and that has made Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio big-time mad.
The National Football League has, thus far, remained silent about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturnOn Monday, Florio. In the article, Florio talks of the NFL’s attempt to recruit female fans to the sports and contrasts that with their “strange” silence on the decision to overturn.
Such as the league deciding to wait to see if they receive pressure to weigh in. Or whether the league’s silence is an attempt to avoid aggravating the two easily aggravated sides of the contentious issue. But then Florio seems to offer his own explanation for why the league has kept quiet, and this is where things get weird. Florio believes the league has restrained itself from comment because the NFL’s “Shield has become intertwined with notions of God and Country.”First, why should the NFL be expected to weigh in on an issue that has absolutely nothing to do with its business? And let’s be clear, Florio isn’t seeking the NFL’s endorsement of the Supreme Court.
Second, the notion that the NFL is viewed as “intertwined with notions of God and Country” – at least by conservatives and Republicans – is laughable. Sorry, but years of allowing thousands of players and coaches to use the NFL’s national stage to protest the anthem has consequences. So do the many other anti-American activities the league allowed their players to engage in off the field, such as when they allowed Tennessee Titans QB Ryan Tannehill to say, in 2020, that America was a nation “founded upon racist ideas.”I am so sick of the America bashing by people who have never lived and would never live anywhere else.
