Last night the NFL played a football game that millions of sports fans watched. One team wore an all red uniform. The other an all green one. Clearly this was there “holiday season” promotion. Yet there was not one snowflake or Christmas tree on either uniform. Not one! Not even the cheerleaders dressed up as Santa’s elves! The horror! See for yourself.
And yet no one, not the announcers or the coaches or the players wished anyone a Merry Christmas! I am shocked that real American Christians are not in an uproar this morning. Where are the calls to boycott the NFL? All we hear is silence. Bill O’Reilly, America turns its lonely eyes to you. You’re our only hope to defeat the evil anti-Christmas National Football league gnomes in their fancy suits and glitzy high-rise office who operate this multi-billion dollar industry with no consideration for the fact that we are, and always have been, a Christian nation.
Perhaps everyone overlooked the red-green holiday thing because single-color football uniforms are totally high school.
Plus really really ugly. And LOUD! Geez, my eyes hurt.
neither one as bad as my favorite: can’t remember what college it was but they were wearing yellow head to toe. Hideous. Like a team of giant banana slugs. [and it was not UC Santa Cruz, whose mascot is the banana slug but does not play football.]
Where were the Clowns??
Does such a manufactured and lame outrage have any effect on anyone other than the perpetually angry Xtrian/RWNJs? That’s a small slice of the public and electorate and the red cup thing is more likely to lose than gain people in that category.
Well this is intended as snark, Marie. Of course no one will be upset with the NFL regarding their uniforms. It;s not like they are some godless bunch of hippy latte sippers, after all.
Was merely commenting on the inspiration for your snark and how lame the Christmas cup outrage is.
Ok, my bad. Yes, the whole war on Christmas is lame, but maintaining a sense of perpetual outrage withing the white Christian community in our society is how this whole right wingnut con game works.
There is, of course, a commercial opportunity here. Someone can and should design a sheet of decals which could be peeled off and used to “christianize” the cups. That way, Jesus and Mammon could unite in one sheet of decals. Works for me.
I LOVED watching the green elves play the red elves last night, and found it very holidayish.
But the NFL owners should not be confused with Gnomes, though some Gnomes (in Zurich) may handle some of their money and chocolate.
No, the NFL owners are cleary Orcs.
