A modest proposal for NFL fans: Be a flash mob

Even if no one shows up, most NFL teams have minimum revenue gaurantees paid by you, the taxpayer.

[Texas Eagle]

Better yet, be an un-flash mob. Don’t go to the games at all. Or watch on TV.

[mewzilla]

Another proposal for fans who do go: Make so much noise all the time so that neither team can hear itself think.

Root for the bloody football.

"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"
The cost doesn't include parking fees, food or beverages.
The beer taps, soda fountain, and food represents a significant revenue source
for a monopolistic league sport, that is in a tax-subsidized enclosure, demonstrating physical skill and intentional violence.

[mewzilla]

Chances are the seats have already been payed for. If so, I’d be happy to see folks attend just to protest....

[P.O.E.]

Sic Lois Lerner on them. /s

[Texas Eagle]

Clarification of post #42....Or DON’T watch on TV.

"Agreed. There is high school & college football folks can watch!"

I just saw a news item on FOX. There is an Illinois Kids league of 8 year old and younger where the coaches encouraged the kids to kneel for the National Anthem.

Furthermore, the flag displayed had the stars blacked out. This is spreading to the point where there is no safe place for Patriotic Expression and a safe place only for disrespectful behavior from 8 year olds.

Hit the Owners in the pocketbook. Support local high school and college football. Cut the cable cord. QUIT WATCHING NETWORK TV!

[Pit1]

SIMPLE SOLUTION. KEEP THE THUGS IN THE LOCKER ROOM UNTIL KICKOFF. 5 MIN TO GET ON THE FIELD.

[FreeReign]

A modest proposal for NFL fans:

Don't buy tickets.

If you have tickets, go and patriotically participate in the national anthem.

Boo the kneelers.

Then leave.

[Keyhopper]

I have a better idea, ignore them and let the NFL die on the vine. Don’t watch the game, don’t talk about the game, don’t even acknowledge they exist.
Boycott the entire athletic industrial complex.
Boycott the sponsors and advertisers.
Vote with your bucks and tell the “ we don’t give a ****”

[Keyhopper]

Imagine an empty stadium with only the players there. You want to kneel, well you’ll get your chance begging us to bring our business back, however, it will be both knees.

[Keyhopper]

I’m in complete agreement. Ignor them!
Don’t go to the games, don’t watch the game, don’t talk about the game.
Boycott the entire mess

[Mr. K]

Do it AS THEY ARE EXITING

[headstamp 2]

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

In 10-15 years, these players won’t remember what they were kneeling about anyway.

[libertylover]

Good idea.

[libertylover]

Sing it again and again all damn game long!

Great idea. They'd probably get thrown out, but the optics of that would be phenomenal.

[Sicon]

"OCCUPY THE FIELD!"

You will more than likely only end up occupying a jail cell, then spending some time and money in court.

You see, most leftist protesters are losers with no money, no career, and therefore have little to lose by being arrested for trespassing on the field and whatever other charges are thrown at them. The rest of us? We don't really have that luxury.

[PCPOET7]

suggestion rather then supporting then NFL go to a local high school football game support the kids in your neighborhood.
