MSM Democrats will lose more money when they continue to promote their politics in the entertainment industry.
Even a 10% to 15% drop in attendance an TV ratings would be a serious blow to the NFL.
it would echo throughout the cable industry, the networks, sponsors, endorsements, travel, sports merchandise, and eventually percolate up to the stock market.
it’s a joy to behold, the left eating itself.

Yes!
The conservatives have never been able to take their grievances to the streets like the democrats could because we all have jobs, families and other commitments.
But now.... we certainly do have a chance to make a huge difference. We can do it!
He told Vallenzuela to apologize or he would never play again. Free speech is a one way street for Marxists.

Proof?
“The Pittsburgh Kneelers”
Man I hope that sticks.
Appears to be the case
He did not. Quit making up garbage.
Does Rooney check if someone is a Democrat before he gives them a job? Are football players required to be registered Democrat, before they are selected to play on the team and make big money?
I hear that Direct TV is offering refunds on the NFL Package. Take that NFL. Take a bow.
As a resident and native of Pittsburgh, and a longtime Steelers fan, I find all this very distressing. I wish the NFL was subject to the Hatch Act. Federal and postal employees weren’t allowed to wear campaign buttons or engage in partisan political campaigns. They could engage in nonpublic voter drives for the public good and they could vote, but a mail Carrier, for instance, couldn’t tell people on his route who to vote for.
nonpublic = nonpartisan voter drives. Autocorrect changed it
On the reality side, for most teams....the vast majority of tickets for 2017 have already been bought, and likely will be used. For marginal teams, there might still be 100,000 tickets still out there for remaining games. Course, some guys holding tickets might be angry enough to just burn them.
But then you come to playoff games which tickets have yet to be printed or sold. My guess is that they will have to discount those by 20-percent...maybe more, to get people in the stands.
On the fan paraphernalia deal, this occurs 3 months ahead of Xmas and will have a major affect on sales. I’ll take a guess that the sport shops take a 50-percent hit. You can figure future orders past January will really slow down, and it’ll affect NBA gear as well.
Then we come to TV. Normally 3.5 billion would occur as the networks hand the profit over to the NFL. I’d take a guess that 30-percent of people aren’t watching, and the amount will be closer to 2.5 billion. So they will be on a lesser budget.
Here’s the thing which few think about...this whole kneeling thing would have to continue through to November 2020 minimum. Ticket sales in the spring of 2018? It’ll be awful slow and most clubs will have to discount their tickets by 30-percent minimum. A lot of guys are permanently gone from NFL sports gear and viewing NFL TV.
So ask yourself...how long can they survive? This season is not a problem. But if you start seeing games in 2018 with 5,000 seats empty as being normal? If your gear isn’t being bought? Salary cuts will probably be discussed next spring. NFL recruits won’t be offered prime salary deals. I suspect some teams will be in serious financial jeopardy by end of the 2019 season. And if Trump wins in November 2020? Well, that would be the end of NFL football, I think. They can’t survive through 2024.
Tomlin an active demoncrap crooked hellary supporter? You don’t say? Well that splains a lot....Maybe the clintoon crime syndicate will chip in to supplement the thugs’ salaries when things start to go south. They seem to be trying to figure out an approach where they are protesting but they are not...j/k or something. For me and hopefully 1000s of others they are done...
Now the SCUMBAGS need to give refunds on NFL GAME PASS. So far they aren’t.
Mike Tomlin is a national disgrace.
