A Super Bowl prediction

[Joe Cooper]

The "taking a knee" protest at the playing of our national anthem started
by Colin Kaepernick will reach its obscene climax at the Super Bowl in
February. It is likely that the protest will include players,
advertisers, and possibly the halftime show, too. This protest is a fire
that cannot be extinguished by sagging ratings and diminished fan
enthusiasm for the game. It will have to burn itself out.

Fuel will inevitably be added to the fire because "aking the knee" nicely
fits the narrative of the liberal media, the Democratic Party, Hollywood,
and the rest of the entertainment industry. And now that President Trump
has weighed in on the controversy, expect all the #NeverTrumps to support
the protest, too.

The high-visibility Super Bowl, which is probably the most watched event
on television, will be too tempting a target for the liberal coalition to
pass up. The left will see the Super Bowl not as a football game, but as
a way to get its message across to redneck country and all the
"deplorables" that America is a racist country, maybe not explicitly, but
surely under the surface.

The tactic I expect to be used by the glib-tongued liberal establishment
is to create talking points and a storyline to make this protest seem
wholesome and worthy of respect. To be against it will be taken as
implicit proof of racist tendencies. Such propaganda will of course be
lapped up by the media and spread thick, far, and wide by them. Most
susceptible to it will be the young, who have the disadvantage of being
embedded within the brainwashing factories of the universities and public
schools.

Up to and including the Super Bowl, the "take a knee" protest will
probably prevail. But after that, it's a different story. How much will
depend on the critical thinking ability and intestinal fortitude that
still exist among the American people. A marker to measure where we
stand as a country will be viewership and attendance in the NFL
throughout the 2017 season and the Super Bowl. The same goes for the NBA
if it goes down the "take a knee" path.
