Results, Recap, Review of WWE Backlash 2018
Tonight was the annual pay-per-view known as Backlash which tonight was kind of fitting considering it's taking place after Wrestlemania and Greatest Royal Rumble. I felt going into this show that it was very underwhelming and it was going to be lackluster. I felt that Superstar Shakeup should have taken place after Backlash because going into the show I had somewhat of an idea on…

The NFL National Anthem Policy Vote is starting to become more shady as details come out. Here are some of the highlights
-No one from the NFL Players Association was there to vote or voice their opinions on this matter.
-The NFL said that the vote was unanamious but we have found out that two teams abstained from the vote (two teams reportedly the New York Jets and The Oakland Raiders).
-They did not come up with a definition of what disrespectful is so it's up to the teams to meet the guidelines, but Roger Goodell can still decide the "appropriate punishment."
I understand that this is sensitive subject for owners, athletes and fans, but if you're going to discuss it than discuss it with some honesty and integrity. I understand that the NFL is a business, but should a business be able to trample on the basic rights we have as Americans? It's a fine line of what your values are! #NFL
Congratulations to the newest inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame! #NASCARMeet the 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame class!
I've always respected Chip Ganassi Racing and it's drivers Kyle Larson/NFB and Jamie McMurray, but Rob Kauffman who is the co-owner of CGR and chairman of Race Team Alliance made some remarks that I don't respect. He went out of his way to say that smaller teams devalue NASCAR and a team like NY Racing shouldn't be at the top level. Brian Keselowski was very vocal about Kauffman's stance on this particular topic. Tommy Joe Martins has spoke up on this issue and I have to say I agree with Brian and Tommy. What fun is any sport if you don't have underdogs in it? If someone is talented enough and has the resources or blessing from NASCAR they should be able to race! Before Kauffman runs his mouth further, lets remember that he couldn't save Michael Waltrip Racing after they got caught cheating and lost all their support. He had to jump to another team because he couldn't do it on his own! #NASCAR
Cup team’s debut stirs debate on value of smaller part-time teams

Xfinity Series driver responds to chairman of the Race Team Alliance after comment questioning new team’s entry.Now I am not trying to make this a political post, because I look at it from a business point of view. There are a lot of people who are extremely happy about this new policy and there are some who are not. What people have to understand is that the NFL is a business just like any other business out there. When you make decisions that negatively effect your business then you have to make changes. The kneeling during the National Anthem was hurting the business of the NFL in term of viewership, sponsorship, and attendance. I firmly believe that the NFL did the best they could to make everyone happy. #NFL
