In the pop culture war raging across America, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will be remembered as the modern-day Ambrose Burnside.

Union Major General Burnside is widely regarded as the most inept soldier of America’s Civil War. His behavior and tactics during the Battle of Antietam were so incompetent that a bridge at the battlefield – Burnside Bridge – was named in his honor.

Yesterday’s Super Bowl LVI was Goodell’s Antietam. Rebel forces bullied Goodell into turning television’s largest platform and sports’ greatest meritocracy into a showcase for the Left’s tokenism and quota system that is cleverly branded as diversity, inclusion, and equity.
