What is the nation’s immediate need right now? Find out what the National Football League believes about Dobbs’ decision. So says Mike Florio, the embittered voice of NBC’s Pro Football Talk. The silence of the NFL on matters that do not have to do with them really bothers him.
Florio says, “… the lines between God and Country continue to blur, as our democracy teeters toward theocracy. As our democratic utopia veering farther into authoritarian dystopia.”
The Constitution recognized abortion as a “fundamental privacy right for American citizens,” and with the stroke of a pen that was improperly taken away, Florio moaned in his post, “NFL stays silent on elimination of 50-year Constitutional right.”
Yes, he needs a sedative.
The wokesters of the NBA and WNBA issued obligatory statements about “reproductive health care” and women making their own decisions. Florio pressed the NFL to make a similar statement but got no reply. Florio has become furious at its inaction.:
“The NFL, which has spent considerable time and money in recent years attracting, developing, and expanding its female fan base, has been strangely silent on the issue. It has been in all aspects. It has not been stated. Tweets not sent. No expression of support for the employees of teams in the 22 states in which the NFL does business, if those individuals must travel to other states in order to implement an intensely personal and inherently difficult healthcare decision.”
Florio theorized that the NFL might “err on the side of mollifying the portion of the fan base that would react more negatively to the NFL speaking out than the portion of the fan base that will react negatively to the NFL remaining silent.”
“The NFL likely prefers to exercise its right to remain silent on this issue because The Shield has become intertwined with notions of God and Country,” Florio continued.
Religious people (with their “raw profit motives”) don’t have to resort to abortion, and non-religious people should have the choice, football writer Florio says while straying way out of his lane.
He ranted there’s a real and present danger that paranoia and the push for theocracy will expand, what with support from Justice Clarence Thomas, who, by the way, had his seat on the high court derailed more than 30 years by Anita Hill’s sexual harassment claims against him.
Florio also blisters the “stick to sports crowd” because the NFL has been uncharacteristically silent since “a half century of settled law was crumpled into a ball and tossed aside …”
Breitbart blogger Dylan Gwinn says Florio is off his rocker on several accounts:
-
Why should the NFL address an issue that has “absolutely nothing” to do with its business? He’s engaging purely as a “political operative” seeking condemnation of SCOTUS.
-
Saying the NFL is “intertwined with notions of God and Country” is laughable.
-
The NFL engages in many anti-American activities, including declaring that the country was founded on racism. The league’s support for radical social justice would not have been possible if it was inextricably linked with God or the country.
-
Florio linked to a video posted by the far Left Young Turks denouncing the Bible as a “mythical book” followed by people who impose their views on others. Florio insists that religious people shouldn’t be allowed to vote for their beliefs.
Gwinn noted that Roe was not overturned by the Supreme Court because it is religious. “It overturned Roe because it’s not in the Constitution.” He’s right. This constitutional argument was invented by seven Supreme Court justices, who stamped the rubber stamp on that myth in 1973. Florio openly displays his animus against Christians.
