NFL Partners with Leftist Groups to Get out the Vote

The NFL is working to register voters, but it is doing so with the help of organizations with ties to prominent leftists.
From The Federalist. Are you ready for some football?! How about some leftist-led get-out-the-vote (GOTV) games?

Give today.
Well, you get both with the NFL Votes campaign.
The all-powerful National Football League says the “League-wide, nonpartisan initiative supports and encourages civic engagement among NFL players, and legends, club and league personnel, and fans.” Launched in 2020 as a joint effort between the NFL and NFL Players Association, NFL Votes “focuses on three key components of the electoral process: voter education, voter registration, and voter activation,” according to the league’s website. …
But if you’re scoring along at home, the NFL’s teammates include some of the most left-wing activist organizations on the election field today. Starting on the campaign’s roster is Rock the Vote, Voto Latino, and I am a voter.
Rock the Leftists
Rock the Vote has been around since 1990, when music executives partnered with MTV and celebrities on the “Censorship is Un-American” campaign after foul-mouthed rap acts such as N.W.A and 2 Live Crew brought out an indignant wave of speech silencers. …
Thrilled by its accomplishment of activating “millions of young people” to turn out to the polls, the leftist nonprofit has parlayed its GOTV successes into a multitude of leftist causes over its 30-plus years in operation — even as targeting the young adult vote remained central to its efforts.
“The group claims to be nonpartisan, but has produced videos throughout the years using celebrities who largely endorse a left-of-center agenda, including abortion rights, liberalizing criminal justice policy, and marijuana legalization,” non-profit tracker InfluenceWatch reports.
In 2009, Rock the Vote used its multimedia muscle to promote President Barack Obama and Democrats’ healthcare agenda, including what would become the government-driven Obamacare.
The progressive network is led by a laundry list of former Democrat Party and leftist operatives. …
Send in the Leftist Celebrities
Voto Latino, also known as the Voto Latino Action Fund, is a leftist-funded and staffed voter mobilization organization that, according to InfluenceWatch, pioneered texting-based voter registration. The “nonpartisan” group in 2013 put its weight behind a campaign for liberal immigration policy reforms, partnering with, among others, Rock the Vote. The Squad queen, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., appeared in a 2019 video for Voto Latino after receiving a birthday card from the group signed by 10,000 well-wishers, InfluenceWatch reports. …
Like Rock the Vote and Voto Latino, I am a voter is populated and supported by a gaggle of leftist celebrities. The “ostensibly nonpartisan” get-out-the-vote organization was co-founded by fashionista and liberal activist Mandana Dayani and actress Debra Messing, among other Hollywood glitterati. …
Another NFL Votes partner is RISE to Vote, which encourages professional athletes and their fans to vote. Who started the RISE to Vote initiative? Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, arguably the most partisan Democrat state election official in the country. …
A ‘Shady Way’
Rock the Vote also partners with Vote411, a leftist project of the League of Women Voters Education Fund. Organizers bill the project as a “nonpartisan” election resource, a “one-stop-shop” for “election related information,” my Federalist colleague Logan Washburn reported last month.
“It offers ‘general and state-specific information’ on things like voter registration and ID requirements. But it also collects user data for the leftist groups League of Women Voters and Rock the Vote,” he wrote in the piece headlined, “Vote411 Feeds Voter Info To Leftist Data Harvesting Machine While Masquerading As ‘Nonpartisan.’”
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has warned voters about what he called Vote411’s “misleading public service announcement.”
“I’m exposing this data-mining collection effort masquerading as Vote411. It’s a sham,” Allen said in a press release. “This is simply a shady way to collect the IP addresses and personal data of Alabama citizens.” …
‘Democracy is not a Spectator Sport’
NFL media relations officials did not return The Federalist’s request seeking comment about NFL Votes and its activist partners. According to the league’s webpage, “All 32 clubs and players throughout the league support this initiative and will engage in efforts to highlight the importance of voting and encourage fans to become informed and active voters.”
“Democracy is not a spectator sport. We urge everyone who is eligible to cast a ballot in our elections and have a say in our country’s direction and future,” the NFL insists.

Don’t you want people to vote. A very strange article.
Lord, Send you Holy Spirit to call all your people to vote according to Biblical Values. Show each of us how we can join you in that and overcome evil with good!
Sure there are athletes who are believers of God, but few will stand up against the leftist message which is opposite of God’s. We all know that most democrats, most entertainers, most of media and many others with wealth use their influence against God’s way. We who Trust in God must continue to pray for God’s guidance and help in defeating the evil one’s plan. Trust in God. Amen.
🙏😇🙏
I will no longer support NFL anything. Traitors, Cowards, child mutilators. Idiots chasing a little ball around d and pretending it means something. DONKEYS IN A HOLE
Honestly, how is IFA able to maintain the 501-C3 standing. Federal law clearly states that it is illegal. IS IFA claiming to be above the law? Jesus did say the law of the land should be obeyed.
Ifa is tripping.
This report is very, very negative and a majority of NFL players are believers and leaders. Yes, hollywood elites, as well as rap artist are left voters, but there are many Godly believers all over. As the scrpiture says there are more for us than aginst us!
As a website for believers and speaking truth, we don’t need reports to bring us down, but to build up. We have enough negative news to bring discouragement
Yes, by D. Trump.
The leadership of the player’s union and the NFL management maybe woke and leftist. However, there are some if not many players that are Christian. I read that up to 35% are Evangelicals and some others are Catholic.
Christian Rock Stars need to be leaders too!! Get out there and influence like never before!!!!!
Remove all hardness of heart and selfish ambition. Bring your truth to the forefront and expose the lies, Send the fear of the Lord into these organizations and remove the veil of deception. May God arise and His enemies be scattered.
.
Now I remember why it is that I no longer watch the NFL. They support liberal causes that have no place being supported. May this evil practice come to an end! Thank you, Jesus.
I know we need to stop all of these liberal causes such as healthcare, school lunches for poor and disadvantaged children, fair housing, and worst of all… the freedom of religion. Things were better when the government was a theocracy like Spain was from 1478 to 1834, those were glorious years.
Exactly or when Hitler ruled too.
That is why I do not watch football games anymore, the Majority of the NFL from top to bottom are evil. They do not care about “One Nation Under God with Liberty and Justice for All”! We have become a Nation of Disgrace!
