This week starts the NFL’s 100th season, but some teams seem to still be finding a awful lot of empty seats.

As the Cleveland Browns took on — and lost 43-13 to — the Tennessee Titans at FirstEnergy Stadium, for instance, fans took to social media to express their shock at the number of empty seats:

At EverBank Field, the Jacksonville Jaguars also found a horde of empty seats when the lost big to the Kansas City Chiefs 40-26:

Meanwhile, at the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium, the Baltimore Ravens flew into town to skunk the Dolphins 59-10. But fans seemed lacking by some reports:

At Charlotte, North Carolina’s, Bank of America Stadium, as the Carolina Panthers geared up to lose a squeaker to the Los Angeles Rams 30-27, fans took to Twitter to remark on the empty seats:

LOL, I think most of fans who did show up for the Miami probably left by halftime.

I think even the Miami Hurricanes outdraw them, and they don’t get much at their games, neither.

The SE USA was really under some hot weather and to be honest, neither JAX nor Miami looked to be competitive in those games.

The Hurricanes and Dolphins agreed to play each other.

The Dolphins need the practice, and the Hurricanes need the win.

They should probably increase their emphasis on social justice to attract more fans. People don’t go to sporting events to forget about real-world problems; they go to be lectured and enlightened on how the world’s problems are their fault.

But don’t hard core fans turn out in any weather, and support the team.even if it appears to be a one sided game?

The NFL doesn’t care, why?

They are about to hit paydirt with proceeds from Sports Gambling, even if nobody goes to the games, they’ll still rake it in.

Nowadays all you’re doing is “rooting for the laundry”, you cannot relate to the players, anymore.

They take a knee when the anthem is played. These spoiled millionaires of the NFL are dead to me.

As much as I’d like to think America has had its fill of SJW kneelers, the Occam’s Razor answer is that nobody wants to pay top-dollar ticket prices to watch crappy teams.
