Elitism had entrenched itself in Hollywood, Congress and professional sports.  It is further distancing itself from everyday people. In regards to the NFL, the practice of using their job as a venue for broadcasting political opinion has further annoyed me to the point stop watching NFL games.  Aside from the display of athletic skills the game lacks substance.  The only exception was watching the leadership, athletic skills, maturity and professional management skills displayed by Payton Manning during his career. Since Manning's retirement I've not watched a single game.  If this is what the new NFL is allowing to happen then I'll opt out.  Just saying...
