 [Townhall] The National Football League’s colossal failure to properly handle a public relations disaster stemming from league wide National Anthem protests as a way to draw attention to police brutality has led to dismal ratings throughout the season. Thousands, if not millions of fans, have tuned out the NFL this fall, with #BoycottNFL a popular Twitter feature on any given Sunday.
But, so far there has not been quite exactly any legendary sports figure to jump aboard and disavow the NFL for allowing players to kneel during the anthem. That changed last night when Vin Scully, one of the most popular sports announcers for the better half of the past century, pledged to never watch an NFL game again.
Speaking to a crowd in California, Scully expressed his dismay and grievance towards players who kneel during the anthem as a sign of disrespect towards the military. |
