I caught two Browns games this season and that's six hours I'm never getting back.

They are politicizing their workplace. The government is doing nothing to stop them. Why do you create logically challenged arguments?

The government isn't the "anti-politics in the work place" SWAT team you can use to silence the people you don't agree with.

This year isn't final yet so I'll wait until it's over before I make the comparison

So far overall ratings TV/Streams is down at least 10-15% from this time last year. I did not do the exact math but they are in that ball park and maybe even down a bit closer to 20%

Going into week 3 I know I read that tv revenue was down $200 million and week 3 numbers look similar to the 1st 2 weeks so it's not unreasonable to probably add another $100 million to that total going into this week.

There's is a total of about 21 weeks of football including post season play. So that extrapolate to them losing 2.1 billion in tv revenues if the numbers continue to trend like they are. That's not an insignificant number.

The nfl is desperate to find an out that allows them to save face and neither the players or the fans are budging. The league is being starved into an unconditional surrender.

The people who are boycotting are not football fans. They are Trump fans.
 
Maybe the boycotters will take some exercise instead, and lose some fat from their heads.
 

Colin Kaepernick on police brutality, the flag and the military - Chicago Tribune

This isn't difficult. There's plenty out there, you just haven't bothered to look. And please, let's not pretend Colin is the only person with this message. He's not a "founder" of anything. This is a very old problem, my friend.

The NFL has a lot more problems to address besides this issue. If the NFL and its players want to address the equal treatment of minorities by the police I applaud them. But kneeling during the national anthem is not the answer. Use your power and money to provide lawyers for the people who you believe this is happening to. Expose and attack the problem at its source legally. Most police are decent people trying to do their best. Find the bad apples and make an example of them. That is the solution.
 


I have not watched a professional football game in years in protest over the massive amount of money involved in professional sports. However if I did still watch I would not appreciate athletes making political stances while on the job. I do not purchase tickets for sports entertainment to watch someone make a political point. I have zero against what they want to do legally off the field in protest but on the field and on the job is not the place for it.

If NFL fans are such delicate snowflakes that a few players choosing to exercise a little freedom before the game triggers them this hard, they're not real football fans anyway.

Would you say that if they waved Confederate flags at the games?

They were protesting injustice, which is the greatest possible tribute to our flag.

Fascism 101: Conflate the government with "OUR TROOPS," conflate protest of injustice with disrespect for OUR TROOPS

It's fascist to show respect to the troops we lost?

The government isn't interfering with the players at all, why are you inferring things that aren't there?

You could not be more wrong they love our country and they don't like seeing players take a knee during the national anthem.
The NFL made a major mistake by allowing what happened. Many feel they are disrespecting our flag!!
