Don't be fooled by the NFL's sudden burst of red, white, and blue patriotism, Patriots. The league that spent years allowing players to kneel during our National Anthem and pushing woke politics down fans' throats is now desperately trying to cash in on America's 250th anniversary celebration - but it's all a cynical charade.
As America prepares to commemorate 250 years of independence, the NFL has conveniently partnered with the America 250 Commission, plastering "America250" logos on sidelines and game balls across playoff games. Social media users are already falling for the act, with one Twitter user @Just_Elle noting these are "redeeming qualities for the NFL who've been almost anti-🇺🇸 for a bit."
Almost anti-American? Try completely anti-American. This is the same league that turned a blind eye when Colin Kaepernick and others disrespected our flag and military. The same organization that embraced Black Lives Matter messaging while ignoring the sacrifices of our veterans and law enforcement officers.

Make no mistake - this isn't a genuine change of heart. It's a calculated business decision. The NFL sees dollar signs in patriotism as President Trump's America First agenda has restored national pride. They're betting that slapping some flag imagery on their product will bring back the millions of conservative fans who walked away during their woke years.
Pennsylvania sports fans are already getting excited, with @Owens_abc27 celebrating the playoff games featuring Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, @Matthew78954477 is thanking the NFL for their "America 250" messaging. But here's the harsh reality: once the 250th anniversary passes and the marketing opportunity ends, the NFL will go right back to its America-hating ways.
Under Trump's second term, real patriotism is making a comeback across America. But corporate America - including the NFL - is just following the money, not leading with genuine love of country. They'll wave the flag when it's profitable and trash it when the woke mob demands it.
Smart Americans won't forget how quickly the NFL abandoned our values when it was convenient. Will you fall for their temporary patriotism, or remember who they really are when the cameras aren't rolling?
