Sponsorship is the only thing that can move the needle on this and the nfl responds to.

Her, not the woman who says kavanaugh exposed himself to her, not any woman. The real victim, it would seem to the president , is the man, and by extension all men. I say that its a very scary time for young men in america when you can be guilty of something that you may not be guilty of. This is a very, very this is a very difficult time. Whats happening here has much more to do than even the appointment of a Supreme Court justice. It really does. You could be somebody that was perfect your entire life and somebody could accuse you of something. It doesnt necessarily have to be a woman, as everybody says. But somebody could accuse you of something, and youre automatically guilty. But in this realm, you are truly guilty until proven innocent. Thats one of the very, very bad things thats taking place right now. Look, we know where the president stands on this.
