NFL lives don’t matter.

May they rot, fester, and stink.

No. But the media schlubs take it on the chin, which is almost as good.

New Conspiracy Theory: Trump is doing all this just so he can bring back the USFL and the New Jersey Generals.

According to Rush, if ratings don’t maintain a certain threshold, NFL gives credits to advertisers for future commercials - that is, they get reduced rates or free advertising time for future games.

Not necessarily. The media revenue is guaranteed in the contract they negotiated. But if the channels don't recoup their money and viewship drops, when it's time to negotiate they offer less money.

This isn't hurting the NFL today, and that's they aren't freaking out over it. If it lasts, they they start to panic.

The NFL has a big problem that’s going to hit in a few years.

Young kids just aren’t into football like their parents were. They are gravitating more to soccer. You’re more likely to see a poster of Lionel Messi in a kid’s room than for any football player.

And you even have Bo Jackson saying that he won’t allow his kids to play football. In 20 years, football might be facing the same fate as boxing. And it wasn’t so long ago that boxing was the biggest sport in the country.

#NFLBoycott

Remember NFL players coming out in hoodies to show support for Trayvon Martin? This has been building.

Why should anyone support an entertainment business that tolerates such hatred for much of their fans, is against law and order and disrespects the American flag?

NEtworks need to stop covering the National Anthem, just play commercials for that 2-3 minutes. Whatever happens without cameras and commentary will slowly dry up, not attention to “me”.

Loss of income is the only thing Goodall and the NFL would understand. Boycotting the NFL is an easy way to show displeasure with BLM and other America haters. Loss of income is also the only way liberal Hollywood is impacted by its hate for America too. But, I fear too many Americans can’t be bothered to boycott American haters, cause it is just too hard for them.

And remove the NFL’s non-profit status.
