"The whole point of this article seems to be please watch NFL football anyway. No sale! .

Colin, thanks to you as a BLM/NFL useless idiot, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and in our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!

NFL = NEW FAR LEFT!

More NFL teams renamed: Oakland Traitors, Baltimore Cravens, Buffalo Bolsheviks, Green Bay Pinkos, Washington Red Guards, Los Angeles Chekists, Jacksonville Jacobins.

The Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!

“These people apparently don’t understand that once a fan misses a few games he or she gets used to it and loses interest”

Yes to that. We have not watched in 5 weeks (never missed Sunday afternoon, evening, and Monday nite football)and have found it liberating. Cannot believe the time we wasted sitting on the couch watching these buffoons.

“Nah, I think I’ll just CONTINUE to not watch.”

Me too...and I’m getting so much more done now on weekends, and feel good about it.

Lot of damage has been done. This won;t go away that easy. Time for them to REALLY bend their knees and beg for their patrons to return by showing real patriotism.

This. The Professional teams have done the calculus and concluded that a bunch of traditional patriots are worth less than the approval of their virtue signalling peers and the players. They think they can withstand the revenue loss. And they may be right in the short run.

Long run, I think the calculus fails as football is already on the wane. Parents don’t allow their kids to play because of the injuries, so this just speeds the eventual demise. There are other sports that are competing with football for attention. As fewer kids play, its less interesting to them as they become adults. In 20 years, football will about as popular as golf is today and the professional teams won’t be able to continue as they have with that lowered level of interest.

Failure won’t be on the current owners watch so they’re not so concerned.

Don’t care. The NFL jumped the shark long ago.

Tired of all the “big game” promotions, too.

Die, NFL. Die.

Die, NBA. Die.

Good riddance, really. There are most important things, by far, to be concerned with these days, especially.

The anti-white anti-American stance is just part of their problem. Final straw. We’re done with the Negros, Felons, and Liberals.

I wonder how long before they vacate their Park Avenue office space?

unfortunately, not. I'd be willing to bet the farm that when the next TV contract comes up it will make the current only look like pocket change. It always goes up, REGARDLESS. Financially it is the biggest loser for the networks, but yet they continue to fight over it.

Maybe people like Rush should start a new league. He could finally be a team owner. Trump could become an owner in 7 years. One unchangeable rule. No politics whatsoever!

The NFL is totally infiltrated by progressives like virtually all of the rest of corporate America.

Don't care what they do.

I still won't watch.

Hope Fox and CBS go broke over the loss of revenue.
