No, I think the NFL plays the NA solely out of it's sense of patriotism. No way they'd ever take a particular stance out of self-interest.
Nebraska Democrat: Scalise being shot was funny

Why would you mention WVU and Bridgeport (two public institutions) in the same sentence with the NFL (a private business)?
They all play football and play the anthem. WVU and Bridgeport charge money to attend. They sell things during the game to make money. They may be public institutions, but they want to make money wherever possible. The public/private difference in relation to the anthem is non-existent.
What is your evidence as to how they all make money off the anthem. Stay with the NFL. How do they make money off the anthem?
It's stunning to me our friends on the Left somehow think this chick was justified in her "humorous" take on these events?
I'm damn near speechless not to mention pretty pissed off too.
I have to remind myself these are Mountaineers, but I'm not proud of them right now being on our team.
For the dozenth time, THE HEADLINE DOES NOT REFLECT WHAT'S IN THE ARTICLE. Thus, your question is based on a false premise.
If I was an editor I'd write a headline THAT REFLECTED WHAT WAS IN THE ARTICLE INSTEAD OF A HEADLINE REFLECTING WHAT IS NOT IN THE ARTICLE.
You should vote to keep the democratic party out of the hands of people with mental diseases.
OK cool Op2!
So put on your "editor's" hat and write that headline to read what you think it should say to match what's in that article.
Never mind how asinine it is.(content of article) Just write the headline so it's accurate and you're happy with what it accurately describes that's in the piece.
Have at it.
How about "Nebraska Democratic Party official won't resign after calling reactions to shooting at GOP baseball practice 'so funny.' Know how I came up with that? It's the headline on the article now. They've changed it.
Atl....let me take a stab at it for our friend.....let me know what you think:
Congressman Deserved to get Shot Because he Supports Gun Rights
I think he can live with that. In fact I think most Leftists actually do think that!
Well done bornaneer. :clap:
Now we get to read all the Leftist posts denying what you just captured is the real Truth in that story and what they actually believe!
Never heard of him....who is he? Is he a Republican Party official?Yeah, wonder why we haven't seen anything about this tweet from a Republican.......
Summary of what what you are saying--She is such an idiot and lacks the ability to craft a reasonable thought in the English languish that does not have within it so many ambiguities and confusing aspects that foils the ability of reasonable and intellectual folks to conclude what it is she might have intended to say. She should be replaced because she is incapable of performing the tasks associated with the role to which she is attached. What a dunce!
Yeah, wonder why we haven't seen anything about this tweet from a Republican.......
It's because most sane Republicans I would say think what he says here is disgusting and wrong.
I'll sure say it!
I'll also say it is disgusting to shut down free speech, or refuse to let folks express themselves even if you disagree with what they're saying.
A pox on both houses!
I just find it funny how many disgustful and tasteless responses that a few posters on here find that are Democrats, but they are pretty silent when it's on the other foot.
I'll call it out whenever I see it, whoever does it. What you posted that guy said is disgusting, and I find it hard to believe he'd actually be OK with doing what he suggests? (shooting people who try to block free speech)
Just because the Left attacks people over thoughts or words, doesn't mean we on the Right should join them.
I don't think they need any of our help being imbeciles.
Good grief.
"They"......you referring to just STUPID people saying STUPID things..........or Democrats?

Stupidity is not defined to any "party" my friend.
Nor any one person.
Stupid is as stupid does and stupid does what stupid is.
"Black Nebraska Democrat calls reactions to attempted Congressional assassinations "funny"... outraged colleagues call for her resignation"
I'll Call him out right now. If he is a member of the party, he should be released immediately. Unlike Libs on the board, I won't defend the indefensible.
Why am I not shocked you said that? Because you are a special kind of stupid.
The headline is appropriate now because they've changed it. The initial headline was like the title of this thread, namely it said the Nebraska official though Scalise being shot was funny, even though the article didn't say that.
Yeah, watching the Congressmen describe Scalise as he tried to drag himself from the infield to the outfield to avoid more shots is extremely funny. Even the Dems realized it was a huge mistake and insensitive in the extreme and toxic to the Dems, which is why they asked for her resignation.
“Watching the congressman crying on live tv abt the trauma they experienced. Y is this so funny tho?
You either knew the headline didn't reflect the article when you linked to it or else you posted an article that you hadn't read. Either way, you got caught and now are trying to change the subject. You're so anxious to post any damn thing that in any damn way can be used to promote a particular political view that you don't bother to closely examine the content.
I haven't provided tacit approval for anything in this thread other than accurate reporting. WVPATX didn't read the article he linked to (at best) or read the article but lied about it in his thread title (at worst) and all I did was point that out. And we've gone 100+ posts back and forth since then because he and others simply refuse to acknowledge that obvious fact. I haven't commented at all on the appropriateness of the response (the actual response, not what the thread title says she did) of the Nebraska Democratic lawmaker.
But here's the thing to remember for people that are so upset about the response of the Nebraska Democratic lawmaker. Why are you upset? Because you think it's wrong. Okay, so you don't like wrong things. Is it wrong to link to an article where your thread title completely misrepresents the content of the article? Yes. So if people are so concerned about wrong things why do they twist and turn so much to avoid addressing the wrong thing that started this thread?
And the answer of course as with so many people all across the political spectrum is that they don't actually care about right and wrong and instead care only about promoting their political POV.
