Liberals are mad that Donald Trump is actually winning the cultural war against the NFL. From football’s declining ratings to the suspension of left-wing activist-sportscaster Jemele Hill at ESPN, Americans are showing how they really feel about NFL players who disrespect the flag.
But rather than accept the lesson that people want less–not more–politics in their sports, high-profile celebrities are (predictably) doubling down.
Just look at rapper Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ latest “dream.”
I did have a dream to own a NFL team but now my dream is to own our own league!
— Diddy (@Diddy) October 11, 2017
Apparently, the man formerly known a “Puff Daddy” changes dreams as often as he does stage names.
The popular recording artist is likely incensed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell calling on players to “honor our flag,” as reported by Fox News and heralded by President Trump.

But in all fairness, given the huge backlash to the politicization of the NFL, Combs might actually have a better shot at succeeding with an NFL replacement than previous rival league attempts if he made it politics-free.
Except that’s not what he wants to do.
A league where you can be yourself. Have a retirement plan.

Have freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonized for your beliefs as a KING!! NEW DREAM ALERT!!!!
— Sean Diddy Combs (@diddy) October 11, 2017
Wait, you mean NFL stars–most of whom are black–don’t already lead amazing lives with cushy retirements (when they don’t squander all their money)?
Thank goodness NFL players may finally earn a living wage! We little people out here are so relieved! Poor multi-millionaires!

I thought making 30 to 40 million dollars would be enough to make your own retirement plan

Don’t need a retirement plan, they’re multi-millionaires as it is, seem to have it pretty good. Stand for America??

What Combs is hinting at when he talks about “our” own league is making a football organization focused on blacks. The rapper’s imaginary personal football “dream” sounds very different from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream.
NBC passed on explosive Weinstein rape story Woody Allen’s son just broke in the New Yorker; WHY?
So we’re going back to segregation? Sounds fantastic to me!

Of course, “Diddy” has his fan cheering him on.
Do it! You can! You’ve got the Power, the ideas, the energy! You can do it and it will be the greatest league. ?

Do it..guarantee a ton of players move over! They’re ratings are down as it is, time to make a move
— Mohamed Ali (@therealmo79) October 11, 2017
But most sane people realize Combs is going nowhere. As the rapper’s enthusiastic fan notes above, NFL ratings are indeed down. However, they’re down because mainstream America is tired of the disrespect to our flag.
Combs really thinks making an entire league dedicated to Kaepernick-inspired protests is going to win those viewers over? Keep dreaming, Diddy!
Says the oppressed near billionaire!

Taking a knee is lazy and gets nothing done. Everyone doing this is racist and doesn’t realize what it’s like to protect and serve.

Who do you consider UR PEOPLE? Obviously not Americans.Mayb us White Folk should start teams with just”our ppl”.Sick of black racism.
— johnnie marie powell (@johnniemariepow) October 11, 2017
So a white player could kneel in protest of removing monuments? Or is “your people” in reference to just blacks.
— ken seal (@kseal) October 11, 2017
So you want an anti American League. That’s so Democrat of you.
