Even after the Bud Light debacle, the NFL knows that if condemns Butker, some football fans may grumble, and a few angry tweets may go out, but that will be about it. The league will face nothing like the possibly mortal crisis that it thinks it would have faced if it had criticized Kaepernick. Does the left really have this kind of cultural power? Yes. Not in terms of numbers and the support of the American people, but in terms of influence over corporations and the power to embarrass them and destroy their reputation if they start thinking about leaving the reservation.
Still, if Butker is released, the NFL should get the Bud Light treatment. NFL games should be as empty as home games of the Oakland Athletics. This is the only way to show the corporations that the rules are changing, and that the battle for America’s soul isn’t over yet.

I think the Bud Light example will make the NFL think twice.
