American Football will be dethroned by the NBA for one simple reason.....the flag protests. No team, no business, no religion can possibly survive when you actively spit in the face of half your audience. Plain and simple. This will be the only reason why Football will first be dethroned, then eventually wither and die. And it all lies at the feet of Roger Goodell.

Look at the NBA. The Commissioner put his foot down and stated emphatically that "You will stand during the National Anthem" No ifs ands or buts. He knows that it's a divisive issue, and that it's best left off the court and in the real world. Sports events are supposed to be an escape from reality, not a political event.

Kudos to the NBA, the future #1 sport in America!
