NFL Films and the Passing of Steve Sabol There's a good argument that the NFL is the most culturally ascendant product in America today. At a time of economic weakness the league will make $9.5 billion this year, and probably $10 billion next. On the short list of the people who deserve credit for this is former commissioner Pete Rozell, some of the original owners who structured the league with foresight, and filmmaker and mythmaker Steve Sabol . Former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski, now a football analyst for ESPN, has this remembrance.

But the President failed to provide what 27 other Alliance members have been waiting for: a re-commitment by America’s new leader to Article 5. Instead, they got a scolding.

What happens when America retreats from the world? Is President Trump taking his "America First" agenda to extremes, withdrawing the country from the international stage on trade and climate change, distancing America from its traditional allies across the Atlantic and even threatening to physically isolate the country through the building of a wall along its southern border?
