Internet patriots! Are you as tired as I am of the very shameful display of disloyalty that the NFL has become? This has nothing to do with race or anything else. The issue of NFL kneeling has nothing to do with race. It has to do with respect for our country, our anthem, and our flag. Major League Baseball has a better moral character, a deeper concern for mankind, and a spirit of charity. It's alternative sports, without all the Black Identity Extremists, the BIE. And for the first time ever, the World Series is coming to the Internet, on YouTube TV. Tune in to Fox or YouTube TV on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 at 8:09 p.m. Eastern for game 1, the Houston Astros going up against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers used to play in my home town, in New York City. I was the best baseball player in New York when I was young. Said to be the best baseball player in the state of New York. Ask coach Ted Dobias. He said I'm the best he ever coached. I always knew I was good. I was always good at it. I was always the best athlete. Always the best player. Not only baseball, but every other sport too. Everybody wanted me to be a baseball player. But I also knew that it was very limited, because in those days you couldn't even make a lot of money playing baseball. But I was good at other things too. I was good at wrestling. I was really good at football. I was always good at sports. I was always the best at sports. So I know what I'm talking about when I tell you, it's going to be great. Tune in to the World Series. And tune out the NFL. Switch to baseball, and our country will win. We’re going to win. We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go "Please, please, we can’t win any more." You’ve heard this one. You’ll say "Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win any more. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else." And I’m going to say "I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning." Let's Make America Great Again! 🇺🇸

So much like the real thing, I'm starting to have doubts.

People nowadays, other than the diehard fans, lack the attention spans required to watch Baseball -- It's why the tickets are so goddamn cheap. And going to games is sad as fuck because everybody always leaves at the seventh inning unless some super-anomaly occurs.
On the sports radio station I listen to the (admittedly older) guys are always bashing millennials and their attention-spans. The NFL is making a huge mistake pandering to millenials and they are paying the price.

1. Have the NFL really done that much pandering to millennials? If it's about the anthem controversy, I think they would rather have that disappear quietly like a fad.
2. What happens when millennials age up and boomers die off? NFL investment in anti-aging technology? That would actually be a good move since they could probably cure "banged in the head too much" disease at the same time.
