Any disruptions or civil disobedience will be handled quickly and will not be given any coverage.

That is an excellent point. Notice how the camera always breaks away when players get into an altercation. The producers can always turn off the stadium sound

Empty seats cannot be hidden

11% of the population sure does a lot of whining and threatening.

Imagine what it will be like when Muslims reach 11% of our population?

That is why it is so important to boycott the television "programming".

Extra credit--contact the advertisers and let them know _why_ you boycotted the game and _why_ you refuse to buy their product.

Double extra credit--contact each member of the Board of Directors of the advertisers and deliver the same message.

Triple extra credit--think of your own creative way to "deliver the message".

From an ex die hard NFL fan here.

Sports is not everything (though I once thought it was LOL).

There’s a big world out there. Lots of things to do and see. Now that I do not spend every Sunday parked in front of the TV or at games, I have a much better and interesting life....and I get a lot more done.

Thanks for the thread!

I hope any fans who do go show up in red, white, and blue, wearing MAGA hats, carrying American flags, too. What a stage that would set for a flash mob rendition of the National Anthem.

That is a great idea! I love it! And tailgate with flags flying from their vehicles. And those folks should post pics on social media because I really doubt the networks will show any fan protests.

TVs tuned into non-nfl broadcasts speak the most loudly.

The nfl advertisers will not only hear it, but they will the pain, too.

The loudest, not the most loudly. Excuse my kung-fu-movie engrish. :)

Holy ****. They knelt on foreign soil, stood for a foreign anthem.

I hope that info, with pics, gets all over social media. And I hope someone tweeks it to the POTUS.

Don’t know how to send a pic from my phone, but I can report from ground zero here in orchard park, NY. Traffic into the Stadium area is noticably lighter than normal for this time of the morning.

My call is a blitz, out to the stadium in mass!

I do hope patriots find a way to peacefully but persistently disrupt things. The left violently disrupts things all the time. We need to find ways to non-violently but disruptively undermine institutions that have been taken over by the left.

“....and then stand up and belt out the national anthem themselves. Chances are hundreds of those in attendance would join them. Then they would exit the stadium.”

A better idea would be for fans to rush out onto the field and occupy it while singing the national anthem. FORCE THE CANCELLATION OF THE GAME.

Benefits:

1) That would mess up the team’s schedule.
2) It would piss off the players and owners and show them who is boss in a way they can’t do a damn thing about.
3) It ruins TV revenue making system for the game because sponsors’ adds will not be seen since the game is cancelled.

*4) This would only have to be done once! The NFL can play on indefinitely if season ticket holders leave a game that is already in progress (i.e. what the author recommends). But the NFL can’t play a single second if they can’t have the field. No game, no TV revenue for the network, complete punch in the face for the players (compounded by the inevitable ticked off black players attacking white ticket holders on the field - BONUS POINTS!).

OCCUPY THE FIELD!

It's a good thing Kraft wasn't around in 1773. The words uttered by Samuel Adams, John Hancock and others would've REALLY disappointed him.

Maybe he should change the name of his team to The Redcoats.

Or, better yet, The Vaginas.

According to msn.com :" Cheap NFL tickets are harder to come by with each passing season, with the average season ticket price rising 8.3 percent to $92.98,
according to data from Team Marketing Report."
This does not include luxury box tickets, or corporate box seats.

I think our folks have the brains to find brilliantly creative, peaceful ways to protest.

Though my Green Mountain Boys ancestors would’ve been reaching for their muskets by now.

I believe you could pull it off if a radio station got behind it. People could tune to that station and have it blaring so everyone around could hear.

I believe it would be a good way of offering these players our opinion.

I believe it would show just how really small these clowns are. Too many great men and women (of many races) paid such a high price for these clowns.

The rising price may be due to ticket brokers, however, not fans per se.
