Denial, denial, denial. Spin spin spin. To the bitter end.
I wonder how this will translate to player’s salaries?
From the article...
“Pundits, meanwhile, continue to opine on the reason for the fall, with some trying mightily to dismiss a J.D. Power survey in July that put most of the blame on players who protest the National Anthem, the most prominent of them being Colin Kaepernick, who does not currently play for an NFL team.
That survey indicated 30 percent of the viewers who watched less football in 2016 than they did the season prior said they did so because they were offended by players protesting the anthem.”
Never mentioned is how committed other players would be supporting these “hey look at me tantrums” if money came out of their pockets.
