No show, no pay for them.

It is not only CK putting on this ‘show’. Other idiot players from the ‘49ers and other teams are jumping on the band wagon. Last night in Denver at least one player did not stand for the anthem.

When people stop paying and stop watching maybe, just maybe, Goodell will finally DO something useful.

When was that baseball strike, late 80’s? I know a lot of people who said they were going to stop watching. They’re still watching.
This is different. Hopefully it will stick.

This appears to be a grass-roots, spontaneous and one suspects very highly motivated response to the actions of a true anti-American fungus (kaepernick).

A fan strike of any type might have major and lasting consequences to the NFL and especially their sponsors.

The boycott of Target stores could be piddly by comparison.

I feel justified boycotting the NFL entirely. Roger Goodell can bite me.

I made that same determination 30 years ago. Humility used to be valued in the World of Sports, but no more.

Goodell works for the owners, who own the NFL.

MLB attendance went way down in the year following the strike.

It took a year to recover. Cal Ripken and a few others brought the fans back.

“When working for someone you have to respect their rules or quit.”

The problem is that there is no real ‘rule’ in the NFL about standing for the anthem. Some coaches like George Allen almost demanded that players line up during the playing of the anthem. That is why he cut Duane Thomas in Thomas’ heyday. Coaches today are more ‘sensitive’ to the BLM movement, cowards though they are.

Even if there would be such a ‘rule’ then one would have to ask, “What would happen if a team or the NFL would reprimand, suspend, or God forbid, CUT a black player because of his refusal to stand during the playing of the anthem?”

Ya want more riots across the nation, don’t you? ;-)

Oh yes, 75% FEEL justified in boycotting 49ers. It’s so nice to FEEL justified, isn’t it? DO something about it besides feeling justified - sell your season tickets, find something else to do than watch football. Didn’t say it would be easy.

Stop watching the NFL. They need the fans without them they are nothing.

Boycotting the 49ers is easy for me, since I’m a Seahawks fan.

The NFL could burn Ronald Reagan in effigy, place transgendered players on every team, begin having games in Saudi Arabia, replace the Star Spangled Banner with La Cuca Racha, and emblazon the field with a Hillary logo, and viewership would only drop by a few dozen FR readers. And Kaepernick jersey sales will increase.

The times are not good. And they aren’t looking to get better.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, since dating activist DJ

August 30, 2016
FoxNews.com

'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur.

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

For anyone who didn't know, the original Black Panthers were a communist-revolutionary domestic terrorist group like Bill Ayers' Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army. All were Maoist to be precise.

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."
