With only five more weeks of regular season play, the NFL is still the object of scorn on social media as fans wonder why stadiums from coast to coast have loads of empty seats.

Did anyone catch the Kansas-Texas game?

I don’t think there were anymore than 5000 in the stands if even that.

All that kneeling has helped the NFL’s bottom line.

Good thing they renewed that leftist idiot Goodell as the commissioner and with a huge bonus.

This is into the second year of boycotts. Have the season ticket holders joined in the boycotting? Last year they had already purchased their tickets as the boycotts started up at a major level.

That’s not necessarily low for some College games.

The NFL is going to have to take the “kneeling” position, and re-purpose it for begging the fans to, “please come back”.

NCAA games appear to be still in full stadiums.

If you look at the Tennessee Titan crowd numbers...they still fill their stadium (at least on home games for 2018).

Libs never learn.

That is why they keep pushing socialism disguised as something else.

Football is dying at the top, the NFL, and at the bottom, Pop Warner. College remains popular, but they best change the playoff system. If the final 4 doesn’t begin change, folks will tune out.

My brother-in-law and myself are both vets and former season ticket holders of the Jaguars. We stopped going to the games after last years London game when the owner and team protested during the anthem. No NFL on the TV since that morning.

I’m done with them and haven’t watched a game in a very long time. It looks like I’m not alone.

I'm waiting for the outrage when players are told that they can't be paid as much as they once were because of lack of fan support.

I know Kansas isn’t very good, but it’s still a Power Five conference game against a marquee opponent.

Only the stupid fans wonder. All the unpatriotic Bullshit going on has soured the fans and the public in general and the league and owners don’t have the cojones or brains to fix it. That idiot they have as the comish doesn’t help, either.

Even Nick Saban was complaining about the empty student seats during some of the Bama home games.

Yeah. Why have a regular season? Let’s let 6-6 teams be eligible for the championship.

Patriots games are still full. Plus when they played the Titans, probably 1/3-1/2 of the people in attendance were Pats fans. Bills fans have always been there. Ditto Green Bay. However, if it was a nice day in Tampa, Miami, Houston I sure would not show up. Also, if it was a foul weather day in Minneapolis I would not show.

I thought about going to the SU/BC college football game in Boston on Saturday. However, not when its 36 degrees and raining.
