We knew all along this was a an attack on Trump and his voters!
Damage is done. Puerto Rico will be back up before the NFL is.
This isn’t going away, Trump voters are done with the NFL.

For a few moments we were all one.
No more. As the song says, “I Can See Clearly Now”.
No, the Ivy League teaches that the 1% can do whatever they want, and that there is nothing that the 99% can do about it.

Ya . . Think? . . .
Trump knows Americans because he is one. We really have not had American Presidents since Reagan and Kennedy. All others were deep state operatives.
CNN: the blind squirrel.
That's part of the challenge here for NFL owners. The NFL actually has THREE groups of customers, and the fans aren't the biggest ones:
1. TV networks
2. Corporate sponsors
3. Fans
The NFL is learning that it can't keep all three of them happy at the same time.
You know that not all NFL players, coaches, and support staff are in this- they are just being intimidated. Why can’t someone file a complaint about these morons creating a hostile work environment? That is what keeps everyone in line in a regular work place.
Didn’t see any comments about stands being 10-20% empty
Why, of course. Only one factor. I know a lot of people are staying home with the TV off because of Global Warming and drowning polar bears. Keep whistling in that graveyard, son, and hope that Something isn't whistling back.
I think without the fans, the house comes tumbling down.
Definitely a hostile work environment. There is no way that all players agree with these protests of the American flag and national anthem.
The problem for the NFL owners is that this whole stinking issue got started right at the beginning of the season. Which means that, they still have 12 more games in the regular season to suffer more losses, and the whole playoff season and the super bowl.
Now, if this whole mess had occurred towards the end of the season, they would be going into the off-season claiming success for the “kneelers” and the NFL owners.
Now, there is no way that the NFL owners can claim any kind of success against Trump and the anthem-loving/flag-loving Americans.
Solidarity?
The raised fist is traditionally the communist power symbol and it was adopted by the Black Panthers.
Did anyone see the Mercedes Benz stadium at the start of Falcons-Bills game??
it was 1/3 full
I think NFL owners are getting the message loud and clear.
Good post!
