NFL
From iGeek
NFL used to be about American Football, but they became woke, and have suffered the consequences.

Ratings[edit source]
Main article: NFL/Ratings
Since #KneelToo and various efforts to appeals woke players (and irk rational fans), ratings have suffered. But it's hard to prove that's causal. It could be coming down for other reasons. But if Wokeness hurt many other companies, and this sport crashed after going woke, it's not hard to presume cause.
When Kaepernick started his #KneelToo movement (and Trump responded to it), the NFL could have chosen:

👥 People
- Colin Kaepernick - Mediocre QB gets woke girlfriend, starts #KneelToo movement, and ruins his employment opportunities, and an entire sport.Colin was a pretty good QB until the opposition learned his tricks and shut him down. With a failing career, an SJW Girlfriend convinced him to go woke for attention/cause, and he started kneeling in tribute to Marxist anti-Americanism. He lost sponsors, and wasn't a good brand for a new team. But Nike liked it. As others started copying his failure, he brought ruination down on the NFL.
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
There are people with integrity in leftist/woke companies. But they are often forced out, if they want to stand up for America/Freedom/Tolerance. When you're based in San Francisco it's not long before your mission is taking down America, and replacing it with the USSA.
