These NFL shove-in-your-face protests are getting out of hand and quite childish just to prove their point. Personally, I think most NFL players are doing this just because it's "cool" and a photo-op, ooh how trendy. Just when you think it couldn't get worse, along comes Terry Bradshaw shoving his opinion on the matter in support of their protest, and that's the straw that broke the camel's back for me to watch NFL anymore. I thought the point of NFL commentators wasn't to express their own political beliefs! It must be nice knowing NFL players and sports commentators get paid millions while enforcing their views, heck if I had an opinion at the job that I'm working at then I'd be fired for not following protocol. It is nice however that we have the right to tune them out, a la protest their "views" and not attend their games or buy their merchandise.
The reason for this post is I'm trying to find a link, set of links, or pictures to see how many people showed up to today's NFL games in protest to certain NFL players acting the way they are. If last week's 49ers game wasn't enough for proof that people are tuning them out and not attending their games, then I'm curious how many more empty stadiums will there be in the weeks to come after today's embarrassment in the world of sports.
This will continue until the NFL feels serious financial pain.
And I have doubts that will even get through.
Simply turn the idiot off. We all have off buttons.
Trump should point out the NFL as part of the “Hate America” crowd.

What? What about the people who stayed for the game
Why is the story not “football fans get up and leave as players disrespect the flag.”
They are worse than the players
President Trump is successful as he has gotten into the NFL’s heads “rent free”.
America to NFL: “Drop dead!”
Chargers game is basically a Chiefs home game + empty seats.
Excellent link, thanks.
You’re absolutely right. When we work for someone else, we have no right to say what we want. In my job, I do a lot of customer training.
I wanted to change the title of one of the courses I give. I’m presenting the course to about 50 contractors next month.
I asked my boss about changing the title to “Making Installation Great Again.” He loved it but shot it down.
He did say that if I used the term verbally he wouldn’t complain but not in writing. I’m good with that. Had I just gone and done it, he’d probably never know but it’s the right thing to do and I know that I must follow the company standards, not my own.
The Green Bay Packers are sold out at home from now and up to and until Hell freezes over. I will report back if I notice ANY empty seats in today’s game. ;)
There has only been a little kerfluffle over Rodgers saying that Krapernickle is free to say and do whatever he wants, though we took it that Aaron was just giving him enough rope to hang himself with. ;)
