Broadcasters should hope it isn't Trumpism. That's the one that might be toughest to fix.

Er, no he doesn't. Just another plonker looking down his nose at 50% or more of the nation.

“Trumpism?” Really?

“Goodell this week said San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick’s protesting of police violence against African-Americans by not standing for the national anthem is not a significant factor in the declining ratings.”

The Crony-Capitalist NFL owners pay this genius big bux to say stupid stuff like this.

Somebody gets it ... Just not the people that can fix it.

Whistling in the graveyard. I can't say I've done a survey, but three of my friends feel the same as me: We will not watch the 49ers play ball. Two of them refuse to watch any football until the NFL sanctions the protesters. Yes, they have freedom of speech rights, but not when they're supposed to be working on playing football. If Colin wants to show off for his new girlfriend, he's free to do it on his own time. Any team that uses NFL TV as a forum for this BS protest, will not see me watching it...and I don't think I stand alone on this.

the fix is easy

1. apologize to the American people for insulting us, and
2. enforce the contract provisions where players promise not to do harm to the league’s public image or revenue stream

One dumb #### who found out he actually sucks, finds something else to blame for his shortcomings.

And takes down a league with it. With help from useful idiots like other players and Roger Goodell.

I’ve tried to ENJOY The season, but I can’t.

Too much of a slap in the face.

One of few things i really love and this #### had to ruin it.

**********************

He is an idiot.
The insulting of our country and its flag and national anthem is precisely why I and millions like me, formerly a 50 year fan have turned them off.

Keep whistling past the graveyard as the overpaid players insult your revenue source and dig your graves.

Get rid of Herr Kommissar Goodell and those lousy refs who penalize players for being players.

The same for those refs who don’t allow play reviews.

Kaepernick is the straw that broke the camel’s back.

In this wacky, topsy-turvy union we call a country, the one constant has been the Anthem, a devotion to the Flag

The NFL goes through a season without defending it from one of their own and they can never call themselves an American institution again

This ignorant person is stating in uniform that our flag stands for racial inequality and the NFL agrees by allowing it

They are done. They cannot come back if they don’t get out in front of this before Thanksgiving

I haven’t watched a down of football since Kapernick did what he did and the other losers followed suit. They lost my respect for injecting politics into a place where there should be none.

Just throw the damn ball.

With its $20+ parking and $10+ beers, seat licenses and high prices for bad seats, the NFL long ago moved up in class, leaving its original blue collar backers far behind so it can rub elbows with corporate America.

That has nothing to do with TV viewership, which is how the vast majority of NFL fans watch the games. And it's TV viewership that is off 15%.

They just can't figure it out, or they just don't want to figure it ou.

The NFL can't say Colin Kapernick as Hillary cannot say radical islam.

Until you're willing to identify the problem you cannot fix it.

They inject politics into a place people want to escape from politics. Thus no longer something worth watching.

on a new England talk radio show today, a guy named chris gasper had the nerve to say that the kneeling for the anthem is not a factor, but the players committing domestic violence is.
they have been going hard at josh brown. every show, tv and radio, its like they were handed a script. maybe they think people will tie it to trump.

*Yawn* unless the author admits that the afro sporting muslim convert benchwarmer is 95% of the reason for the decline, this article is as useless as all of the “GA, AZ and UT lean Clinton” articles..

Goodell resigning would be a good start. The league has gone into the abyss under him

Trump wins election, Goodell begs him to do the coin toss at the Thursday night game after the election.
