Brace yourself for two big surprises: 1) A majority of Californians oppose national anthem kneeling protests and 2) a prominent columnist for the Los Angeles Times rejects GQ magazine's selection of Colin Kaepernick as its "citizen of the year." LA Times columnist George Skelton says good citizens vote in elections and since Kaepernick admitted he doesn't vote, he's hardly qualified for…

Ninety percent of Native Americans are not bothered by the nickname of the NFL's Washington franchise. Thus it's understandable that Indian high schools across the country sport nicknames like "Chiefs" and "Redskins." Those in the minority on that issue, including one of the foremost leftist rags among the media -- The Nation -- are deeply disturbed that the NFL would have the gall to schedule a…

Though the NFL and team owners did zilch to stop pregame protests during the national anthem this season, The Undefeated blog's senior writer Lonnae O'Neal insists politicians, business leaders and NFL leadership have reached "peak freak-out about players tackling racism and police brutality during the national anthem."

Conservative former ESPN reporter Britt McHenry has dared to criticize Colin Kaepernick, a sacred cow and darling icon of the Far Left, bringing down the wrath of "media Khan" upon herself. After she ripped GQ magazine for selecting the unwanted football free agent as "citizen of the year," left-stream media lost it and began hurling outrageous insults her way.

In his blog "The Mike McCarthy and Bill O'Brien Colin Kaepernick Depositions Should Be Amazing," The Big Lead's Stephen Douglas proves he is clueless about what constitutes collusion and he is an out and out cheerleader for Kaepernick.

GQ is, I guess, a men’s magazine. Or, it’s a magazine for men who like $1,600 leather tote bags and $200 velvet pants. Anyway, GQ clearly digs jerks. Why else would it give Keith Olbermann a web show? And why else would it put Colin Kaepernick on the cover as “Citizen of the Year?”

NFL broadcasting advertisers are getting nervous about the protests and putting the networks on notice about their discontent. NBC Universal, the parent company of NBC, reports advertisers don't like what's going on with the anthem protests and are threatening to pull the plug on pro football advertising.

Disgraced former CBS News anchor Dan Rather has been making his media rounds to promote his new book, entitled What Unites Us. Tuesday morning he appeared on Morning Joe, to discuss the NFL protests, the lack of “civility” in our country, and what patriotism means to him, to an enraptured MSNBC panel.

Many in the media are so far to the left of professional objectivity in their support of the NFL player protests that they cannot accept any deviation from their standard narrative. So when retired L.A. Dodgers' broadcasting legend Vin Scully said he's protesting the protesters, they rushed to the attack, belittling him for opposing their precious social justice warriors.

The unease among advertisers over falling National Football League TV ratings is starting to boil over. One of the league's major sponsors is considering pulling the plug on its NFL advertising next year, and, according to Business Insider's Mike Shields, other "brands are threatening to pull ads from NFL coverage if NBC keeps covering players' national-anthem protests." If those ad dollars go…

At first glance, it seems amazing that USA Today, a hardcore advocate for Colin Kaepernick and NFL protesters, gave space to anyone opposing disrespectful behavior. However, the story recognizing a retired military officer who declined an award at this weekend's New Orleans Saints' game in deference to NFL protests was actually written by a news reporter from another media outlet. USA Today more…

Few media have campaigned for the return of former Colin Kaepernick to the NFL as hard as USA Today sports writers Christine Brennan and Nancy Armour. They are heralding the Cuba-loving/cop-hating pariah as the NFL's top problem solver and its "most valuable voice."

In the frenzied mania to cleanse America of its supposed "racist past," one progressive sports writer is demonizing the man who brought Jackie Robinson into major league baseball. Not even the long-dead Branch Rickey is spared from this maddening purge. In a story by Washington Post columnist Kevin Blackistone that grinds gears with believability, the legendary general manager of the Brooklyn…

USA Today's liberal video commentator Trysta Krick, who fashions her shtick as something of a Jim Rome wannabe, is calling for the NFL to severely punish the Houston Texans over an unwise remark by the team's owner at a recent league meeting. She suggested a fine or the loss of a draft pick.
