Why This Woke NFL Team Can't Even Sell $1 Tickets

Go woke, go broke has done it again. Not even $1 football tickets can entice fans to watch this NFL team. 

In the past few years, American sports teams have been ruined by politics and liberal stances, such as Lebron James refusing to stand for the National Anthem. Wokeness may have contributed to the Carolina Panther's weak attempt to get people to the stadium this month by selling tickets for as low as 45 cents. 

The Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina, offered tickets anywhere from $5 to less than 50 cents, depending on the seats. While some blamed the weather and a horrible 2-13 season, others contributed low attendance numbers to the NFL's anti-American stance. 

This may be the result of the Carolina Panthers being the first NFL team to introduce a transgender cheerleader on the squad. 

Last year, Justine Lindsay joined the team, calling him the "face of the possible." Lindsay is the first openly transgender cheerleader in the NFL, while the Panthers supported Transgender Awareness Week.

The Left's sole target of a radical, twisted ideology narrative that plagues society and culture is now being forced into the public eye through sports-- one of the country's most viewable platforms.

The Panthers were among many teams to see a decline in ticket sales. Baltimore Ravens, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Green Bay Packers were among those who were hit the hardest.

In 2017, former President Trump criticized the NFL, saying, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He's fired. He's fired!'" 

"You know, some owner is going to do that. He's going to say, 'That guy that disrespects our flag, he's fired.' And that owner, they don't know it [but] they'll be the most popular person in this country," Trump continued.
