#1 One commenter writes:

One way for Trump as Commander in Chief to take action against the N.F.L. (No Fans Left) is through executive order. He could pass an E.O. saying No active members of the military will participate in fly overs, Honor Guards or advertisement with the National Football League. If he took this tact I'm sure the police departments would also follow suit.

#2 Someone else also suggested prohibiting sale of NFL merchandise or products with the NFL logo on military exchanges and commissaries.

#3 ...Both of those are awesome ideas, and I'd love to see the Hall of Fame induction week ceremonies come off with no military support at all. I had a lot of fun the three years I marched in it (hard not to smile while standing behind a car carrying Roger Staubach, Tom Landry, and Don Meredith while they're good naturedly and slightly profanely arguing over who the better player was) but were I in the same place today, I'd at least register a protest myself about having to march in my country's uniform to honor people who don't give a rat's backside about what I'm supposed to be defending.

#4 Trump should work with congress on the NFLs stock loopholes.

#5 Tax loopholes, not stock loopholes. The NFL is considered a non-profit or some nonsense like that.

#7 The NFL owners are mostly billionaire virtue signalers. They can afford to take a financial hit indefinitely. The real fun will begin when the player's share of the hit starts to really bite.

End of the NFL

Some things take a bit longer.

#9 Look, they won't even initiate a Grand Jury thingy for Hillary the Harridan, so do we think we will ever see this NFL gravy train come to an end?

And why, then, is the NFL any different from any other outfit that gets either special tax breaks or subsidies? Get rid of them all. Let's start with the lunacy that is ethanol and the price of corn.

#10 Let's start with the lunacy that is ethanol and the price of corn.

1922 - Your gasoline will cost a bit more. Tetraethyl lead will be added to gas to make your automobile run better, more efficiently.

1973 - Your gasoline will cost a bit more. Tetraethyl lead removed from our gasoline to make your automobile engie burn cleaner and more efficiently.

1975 - Your gasoline will cost a bit more, but Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards will improve the average fuel economy of your automobile.

2006 - Your gasoline will cost a bit more, but we're adding ethanol due to the energy crisis. It will help your automobile run more efficiently and cleaner.

#11 Everything that the Dems get control of goes bankrupt. Stay home, barbcue or make popcorn and pop in a great movie in the DVR for Sunday afternoon or watch an old silly B-rated SciFi movie with friends and family.

That is the End of the NFL in your own world.
