And here's what the one Evangelical preacher who has any actual sense in his mind has to say about all of this:

I'd also link an article where the NFL admits that the reason for their decision was, indeed, caving into pressure from Trump's "Administration," but I see it comes from a supposed left-wing outlet, so I guess I probably shouldn't.
The left wants to do the same.
Not really. It's what the right says when the left refuses to conform to their regressive, backward-thinking views. Yeah, yeah, I know the left isn't perfect either, but they're not about conformity or fascism (again, Antifa, even though they're a bit of a poor example), they're about preserving rights, freedoms, liberties, and basic human decency for everybody . . . that may seem like fascism and conformity to those who are
against all of that, but then again, this is another area at which much of the right excels at: pinning the blame and accusations on everyone else for what they're guilty of themselves. It's like I pointed out before:
RIGHTWINGER: Black people need to go back to Africa.
LEFTWINGER: That's racist.
RIGHTWINGER: No, you're racist for thinking what I said is racist.
RIGHTWINGER: Women belong in the kitchen and the bedroom.
LEFTWINGER: That's sexist.
RIGHTWINGER: No, you're sexist for thinking what I said is sexist.
RIGHTWINGER: Gay people are destroying the fabric of our society with their mere existence.
LEFTWINGER: That's homophobic.
RIGHTWINGER: It's in the Bible.
LEFTWINGER: So is loving your neighbor as yourself, and doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
RIGHTWINGER: Stop cherry-picking the Bible you godless ****** and go to H377.
RIGHTWINGER: My rights are being infringed! This isn't about race, this isn't about guns, this isn't about any of that stuff! They're trying to take our freedoms away from us!
LEFTWINGER: You're the ones making it about race, guns, and all that other stuff.
RIGHTWINGER: No we're not, you are, because you always have to push your political agendas!
RIGHTWINGER: The left wants to take away our guns!
LEFTWINGER: We never said that, you're making that up as a scare-tactic.
RIGHTWINGER: No we're not, you're the ones using scare-tactics!
RIGHTWINGER: You have to respect
my president, worship
my God, speak
my language, and live
my life, or you don't belong here!
LEFTWINGER: People are free to do as they wish.
RIGHTWINGER: Quick shoving your lifestyles down our throats all the time!
RIGHTWINGER: Obama's not my President, he's a black Muslim trying to destroy America from within and turn us all into a Muslim nation and making us a laughing stock in the world.
LEFTWINGER: Whatever. Trump's not my President, he's got no policital experience and isn't qualified for Office.
RIGHTWINGER: OHMIGOD!!! HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! HE'S DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU CAN GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY FOR ALL YOU CARE!
