The problem is that even though they aren’t televising the National Anthem, people know it’s because of NFL players still disrespecting our flag. Don’t feel sorry for owners or teams. Collage games are more exciting!

Who wants to watch whining leftist kneelers. Many are finding that college football is better.

You seen the price of TVs lately? NFL attendance is clearly about more than just the Pittsburg kneelers, etc. And it was 95 in Jax on sunday. You’d have to be either very drunk or very crazy to pay for that type of torture as a fan.

Good.

We should all take a knee when the ads for NFL games come on. :)

Their website probably has their phone number. Or do w Duck Duck Go search on “NFL contact phone number.”

The stadium upper deck was empty in Jax. It was over 100 with the heat index. Just a brutal day for weather. I can’t imagine paying to go through that ordeal a few days after a hurricane.

TV has ruined just about every sport. Especially the money that TV brought to the table ruined just about every sport.

A large percent of the attendees who did show up are probably lawyers waiting to serve subpoenas in assault, rape, and paternity suits against the players...

I really enjoyed the Cowboys first game and I don’t hate the NFL. Some people behaved badly but that doesn’t make me hate the NFL.

Sports is entertainment and professional sports have forgotten that their goal is to entertain their audience. By delving into politics they are driving their paying customers away. People attend and watch sports as a diversion from the tensions of their lives.

There is a million more productive, fulfilling activities you can do with family, friends, or yourself rather than watch spoiled adult millionaire illiterate thugs who hate this country play childrens games while running and jumping and tossing a ball. Carpe diem

Isn’t that new league supposed to start this year? If they stay out of politics I might watch them.

Of course that means I’d have to buy a TV and what nott.

My response to the NFL can be summed up in an old Statler Brothers song:

Counting flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all Playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty one Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothing to do.

Any of the above, plus a limitless variety of options other than watching a bunch of overpriced 'woke' punks slam into each other for three hours, can be imagined here.

... all of which I would rather do than waste a single second of my life thinking about those punks and their teams.

NFL games continue to be so boring as to be nearly unwatchable, with endless ads, endless penalties, endless replays, and endless officials’ conferences, not to mention lackluster play with everyone trying to fruitlessly run between the tackles on first and often second downs, and with all but a few teams playing a not-to-lose game instead of a playing-to-win game ...

90 percent of those doing the kneeling have no idea who John Wayne was.
