What audience watches professional sports? It ain’t liberals. Why do these companies keep choosing to insult their customer base? It’s bizarre.

They think Twitter is real life. They don't understand that it's just hollywood, journalists, bots, and advertising.

Most corporations played it relatively safe and just made a generic statement against racism when this was all starting. Sports leagues, Ben & Jerry's, and a few others really ran with it. Now that public opinion polling is in and people are turning against BLM, you won't hear a peep about it from most companies.

Sports really dug themselves into a hole though. NFL ratings were already seriously hurt when this kneeling stuff started back in 2015. It's gonna be 10x worse now. I hope they're ready to cut ad rates.
