I guess look at it this way. If pro-Trump stuff was in the media all the time and it was a reminder to you of negative things, that would get really old fast and probably some of those sections of the population as well would tune out...and I personally feel if it's just the NFL, it's not that big of a deal... but everywhere we turn, there's reminders of politics somewhere, on either end of the spectrum. Sports is normally our only escape.

The NFL was always considered to be the sacred lamb, the only place we could go escape as a nation and relax... NFL particularly has always been considered a patriotic sport, but in a more unifying way in that it's always been an apolitical sport (though obviously pro-American)... despite natural disasters, war, despite all the things happening around the world, we always had the NFL... for example, during the Superbowl and the MLB championship in Houston, people were literally in their homes that were tore down the studs to watch the game on a TV set with very little furniture... that little escape is all some people really have to keep them going. Same with the inmates in jail... if there is a game on, it's super quiet, everyone is well-behaved, people who normally hate each other get together and cheer... it means so much to people.
