Entire Broncos Team Just Woke To WORST News Of The Season After They Didn't Listen – Too
Late Now.
They say if you want to know why something is happening, all you have to do is follow
the money.
Unfortunately for the NFL, they grossly miscalculated what would be the results of their stance
on the National Anthem protest started by Colin Kaepernick and all of those supporting
the Black Lives Matter movement.
The plan was obviously to bring awareness to an issue that they considered to be problematic,
however, all they seem to have drawn awareness to is the rampant nature of the entitled racist
mindset held by many players that most of the NFL fans wanted to overlook.
In the case of the Denver Broncos, their plight is worse than most.
Not only do they have to deal with the league itself tanking as the ratings and ticket sales
go down the drain, their local sponsors are pulling away from them in droves.
Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall was at one time a college teammate of Kaepernick
and an early convert to the cause.
This caused Marshall to lose some of his personal endorsements, but even bigger than that is
the mass exodus from the team itself.
Westword reports that local radio stations are starting to lose advertisers for the slots
taken up during the broadcasts of the Broncos games.
"At least two advertisers have asked that their commercials no longer run during KOA's
radio broadcasts of Denver Broncos games because they're upset by national anthem-related
demonstrations prior to the kickoff of NFL games.
'Yeah, there's been a couple' that have pulled out, confirms Tim Hager, market manager
for iHeartMedia's Denver stations, including KOA, 'and that's the rationale.'"
No matter what the entitled millionaires think, the small business in the heartland just aren't
going to want to be associated with a group that is against everything we stand for.
"Controversy bubbled up again last month when teams throughout the league took part
in various protests before and during the playing of the anthem — and this time around,
there was fallout for Von Miller, the Broncos' biggest star.
Miller's decision to take a knee, along with dozens of teammates, was followed by
reports that Phil Long Dealerships had dropped him as an endorser.
Miller's reps subsequently insisted that his deal with the company had lapsed months
earlier and negotiations were ongoing — but a statement from the firm strongly suggested
that he shouldn't hold his breath waiting for a new pact to be signed.
It read in part: 'When we bring in celebrities to represent us, we run the risk of being
misinterpreted.'"
Basically what Phil Long Dealerships is saying is that when they entrust their name to a
celebrity, their reputations are entwined at that time.
In other words, if that celeb acts badly, it reflects badly on the business that they're
endorsing.
We've seen this in the past with other businesses who got mud on their face because someone
that they entrusted with their brand acted badly.
"Hager characterizes [their reasons for pulling their ads] as general displeasure
with the NFL over the controversy.
In response, he says, 'we immediately found ways for the advertisers to get their message
out and support what they wanted to support.
And we've also been airing the national anthem in our game broadcasts, which we didn't
do before this year.
So we've found ways to strengthen what we're doing.'"
Americans are still working on wearing down the NFL on a national level, but at least
for now the local stations are beginning to see just how importation patriotism is to
the American people.
It was one thing when an individual player wasn't willing to respect the flag, but
with signs of disrespect across virtually every team in the league, it's a problem
too large to ignore.
"Television ratings for NFL contests are reportedly down by 7.5 percent compared to
this time last year, and many pundits think the protests are one of the main reasons.
However, Hager says KOA's broadcasts, starring new booth-mates Dave Logan and Rick Lewis,
haven't suffered the same fate.
[Hager] acknowledges that 'there was a groundswell immediately after [the September protest]
happened, but that's calmed down.
Right now, I'm not seeing anything that has me overly concerned.'
Good thing, because iHeartMedia recently launched Orange and Blue Radio, a station at 760 AM
that boasts of being all Broncos, all the time.
And more kneeling by Denver players could be very bad for business."
There's going to come a time very soon when the Broncos and all the other teams who insist
on being disrespectful will have to choose between their principles and staying in business.
This isn't an issue that Americans are ready to let go, probably because it's chipping
away at the very foundation of our country's ability to stay free.
The sooner this protest is put to rest, the more likely we will be able to show the rest
of the world that those of us with integrity are still indivisible.
