NIL is now in politics

Only a leftist scumbag would try and blackmail kids to get people to vote for them. This is wrong and needs to go away ASAP

Most expensive Senate election in US history per vote. That’s ok, that seat, and the Senate along with it, are going to flip red.
Proud deplorable Ultra MAGA fascist NAZI trash clinging to my guns and religion (and whatever else I’ve been labeled by Obama/Clinton/Biden/Harris).

Tester is no leftist lol. Check out his campaign funding…AIPAC, Goldman Sachs, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone.

And why can’t athletes under current rules get paid NiL $’s for promo ads? Are you anti-free speech?

Thye can do whatever they want to do, Im all for free speech. If players on the Bison did this for a political candidate i didn't support or a candidate I did support, my dollars would do my speaking when I don't get tickets for anymore games. Keep politics out of sports or I will walk. Same with music lots of people I wont see because they inject politics into their shows. Peral Jam, Ted Nugent, Springstein, Rage Against the Machine won't ever get a dime from me. Same with Bud Light, Levis and Nike. Havent bought their products in decades.

This makes me sad. You’re missing out. BTW…PJ, Rage, and to a more subtle extent, the Boss have been political or at least have provided social commentary all along.

Music has a long history in this regard. It’s a part of the show.

It was their choice not mine. No need to be sad. Its just really stupid for business entities to cut half their fan base by being political. Take everyones money and nothing changes, you still have your political beliefs
