Donald Trump tried to cancel NFL because of black athletes kneeling for social justice and a significant percentage followed through.

  Last time I checked, the NFL still exists and kneeling for social justice still happens.

    NFL revenue dropped by a quarter in 2020, however that seems to have been mostly due to the pandemic rather than politics. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/11/nfl-revenue-drops-from-16-billion-to-12-billion-in-2020/ https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/11/nfl-revenue...

    Right, but then the argument isn't that people only get canceled for conservative opinions, it's just that the left is better at it.

      In one case the “canceled” actually happens routinely. In the other, it’s just a loud man ranting but no one was canceled.

        Sure if you don't count Colin Kaepernick as a person. Regardless I fail to see how this refutes the claim that the right also attempts to engage in "canceling" of those they disagree with but is less effective at it. For specific examples see the backlash to Gilettes 2019 commercial, or the attempted boycott of nike following their release of ads featuring Kaepernick.
