They’ve removed the “macho” by turning the NFL into touch football; they certainly don’t want it to fail because it has become a source of funding for people with no role in a modern economy. Besides the unassimilated ethnic minorities actually playing, there is mounting pressure to simply add minorities/women for the sake of being “diverse”. Anywhere a profit is generated (see Wall Street, tech firms), the locusts swarm and demand money - and it works, under threat of lawsuits. There are two “Americas”, and they work in different worlds; the real economy, where people create value/wealth, and the entertainment economy, geared towards low IQ people. The latter depends on funding from the former, and the NFL (along with anything else on TV) is no exception. I’m actually surprised every ghetto doesn’t have an NFL team, with all corporations in a 25-mile radius required to subsidize them.

The Dolphins are in serious trouble.

Spent hundreds of millions on upgrading the Stadium, and STILL can’t get their betters to get with the program.

I predict LOW attendance this season.

The owners had an out, the commissioner is a moron leftist who’s contract was up. He even threatened the state of Texas for considering passing the keep the creeps out of the girls bathrooms, locker rooms and showers bill. Instead of blaming him for mishandling this whole cluster bleep and dumping him they gave him a multi million dollar bonus and renewed his contract. Idiots. I hope the NFL goes bankrupt.

I stopped watching NFL football years ago, but still watched the Super Bowl. This year in protest I stopped watching that too. I’m taking a knee to the NFL.

It’s all a fascinating business case.

I agree, lets see how much money these Marxist players make when no one wants to watch their stupid a$$es.

Goodell also hired Clinton press spokesman Joe Lockhart as NFL PR director, and Lockhart issues anti Trump press releases. They are totally leftist controlled.

Clinton crony Lockhart ain't there no more. But knowing Goodell, somebody equally odious is probably hired to replace him.

Returning the tickets would only work IF their money is refunded. If the money is not refunded then what is the point?

IF they return tickets with no refund then the Dolphins can simply resell the tickets for even more profit.

Either way, the NFL wins. Sad but true.

“Returning the tickets would only work IF their money is refunded.”

Sounds as if they had an agreement and may be entitled to a refund as the tickets were part of a deal to honor first responders.

“We entered into this partnership with the understanding that the Dolphins organization would require their players to stand for the National Anthem. This did not happen.”

Excellent. And stop taking second jobs working security for these games. Cut all ties. Just as the Pentagon should do if Trump was serious about his comments.

Probably empty symbolism. Stadium security for NFL games is very often provided by off duty cops because stadiums cannot maintain a security force of that level for the once a week use they get. If the cops all called out sick for ONE game, just one, all this protesting would end. Because no security = no game. And that they would take very seriously. But the cops don’t. They can’t be too upset then, I guess.

I hate the NFL and won’t watch another game. I spend my weekends watching football on Saturdays and giving God his day on Sunday. Oh I almost forgot: I also have my honey do list on Saturday and Sunday. Somehow that list never seems to shrink, but I enjoy trying to complete it. :)

Well duh!

Aren't those anti-American stooges protesting police brutality.

They should not return them or donate them. They should publicly burn them.

Gee, will any of these spoiled rich athletes acknowledge that The Donald is doing more for the Da Boyz in Da Hood than any POTUS in decades?

Not really. It was in response to one surprised that the Miami press covered it since they usually only cover leftist stories
