Plenty of empty seats visible at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida as the New York Jets play the Miami Dolphins.
“Swaths of empty seats here post kickoff,” tweeted columnist Armando Salguero.

I would never have believed it as recently as two or three years ago. The NFL has been the most popular sport in the US during my lifetime, but it looks like they’ve actually managed to throw it away by showing contempt for their fans while appeasing leftists who despise football. Absolutely zero business sense shown by these fools.
I just wish the NFL would have had the foresight to save 10-15% of all annual towards the funding of a new stadium. Taxpayers should never have to pay for a new stadium, when they're already paying out the nose for merchandise, tickets, and concessions.
I LIKE THIS GUY! Saw a sticker once, it said “Marine Corps Snipers Motto: ‘’You Can Run But You’ll Just Die Tired’’.
I know my local team played the Bears today.
Aside from that I’m completely in the dark as to other matchups, scores, injuries or anything else connected to the NFL.
And it’s staying that way.
I could not agree with more about taxpayers should never need to pay for a new stadium. Paul Allen of Microsoft fame insisted the taxpayers of Seattle build a new stadium and he is worth 10 billion dollars.
Also, many of us who rent cars at airports pay an excise tax to help pay for those stadiums
Yup. Sports and politics do not mix.
Screw anything anti-American and anti-Free-America .
OMG , all those unsold hot dogs ,LOL
My big thrill today was seeing that SF is 0-7
The Forty Whiners are now the Forty Loosers
Excellent!
Don’t know the answer to that but ALL of the Cowboys stood for the Anthem. Several of the Phony Whiners did take a knee. It made watching the Cowboys treat the Whiners like a tree limb in a limb shredder.
The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.
The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.
Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
Percy Bysshe Shelley
This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!
ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!
They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.
This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.
All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.
The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.
We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"
The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.
The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".
We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.
Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.
We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
Maybe advertisers should start planning on spending the big bucks for ads to be run during the Puppy Bowl , instead of the Super Bowl?
good...serves them right
I watched the Pats Atlanta game on NBC an they never showed the the National Anthem but did show Tom Bradys parents and wife.....lots of fog idiots from NBC kept right on bableing about things that had zero to do with the game....Did I miss it...
You don’t like our flag, our country? No one is stopping you from playing football in another country. Go go go. Americans LOVE our sports. But we love our military and our flag MORE. F OFF, YOU PLAYERS.
I watched SF-Dallas andmaybe 20,000...
***************************************
That’s BS! I watched the game and the stands were mostly full until the 4th quarter.
Fans attended for the tribute to Dwight Clark and hoped to see a win for their team, which lost 40-10 and is now 0-7.
Crowd noise was so loud most of the game that the game announcers could barely be heard.
I think there were 6 49s who knelt, while the Cowboys stood without linked arms and most with the right hand over heart.
