We're a quarter of the way through the 2017 NFL season, and one thing is certain: the NFL is scared! A few weeks ago, Colin Kaepernick's anthem protest was virtually dead. Then President Trump threw gas on the fire. Was it stupid? Sure. Unproductive? Absolutely. But make no mistake about it. It was a big win for the President, and a loss for the league. As it turns out, not crapping all over America, is a pretty popular position with Americans. With their popularity sagging and their TV ratings in a nosedive, the NFL is desperately trying to save face by distancing themselves from the controversy. There's just one problem: An agenda-driven sports media, clinging to a debunked narrative. Pete Solari discusses all of this in episode 19 of For Pete's Sake, from MESN Radio.
