Meh.
I dont watch football, so they can do whatever.
Let’s just see if a number of people on FR have the backbone to finally stop watching themselves. Seems to be really hard for a lot of them.
hopefully this includes all the racism against Whites, Christians, Jews, Asians, and Catholics? or are we will pretending that blacks aren’t Advantaged what with all the hire-blacks-preferentially and admit-blacks-preferentially and give scholarships and grant money to blacks preferentially DISCRIMINATION that we have BUILT INTO OUR GOVERNMENT, LEGAL, and ACADEMIC system
Screw them. Football is dead. Send these anti-Americans into poverty.
End NFL.
Captive Markets don’t require a lot of marketing skills!
Potential customers who are constrained to purchase a good or service from a particular supplier because of (1) shortages, (2) competitors’ high prices, (3) lack of competition, (4) unique feature or benefit of the item, or (5) the seller owning the buying entity.

How about "End Wife-beating" or "End Dope-smoking"....
There are 7.7% black players in MLB in 2020 and some teams do not have one black player on the roster.
70% in NFL are black.
Roughly 80% of NBA players are black.
Outside of sports franchises, businesses are under legal pressure to hire and promote (regardless of merit, skills and experience) minorities who match the surrounding region’s racial makeup.
The NFL is putting THEMSELVES out of business!
Good. I hope they never play again.
The alternative to pro sports is “I don’t care”.
Ye gods and egad.
Football on a Sunday afternoon used to be a chance to forget about real life for a few hours. Now they want to slap people in the face with real life for the entire broadcast.
And I can’t even imagine what it will be like for those who watch the “men” on the pregame shows. Covid-this and covid-that, racism-this and racism-that, and did we mention how woke we all are and how woke you should be?
I just don’t think it’s gonna work like they hope. Masks at work, masks at the grocery store, and after all that, on your Sunday football game, “END RACISM” painted on the end line?
No thanks. The only ratings they will get will be from sports bars who have them on just because, and from woke idiots who think this is all just wonderful.
Does anyone know if a sports bar with 24 TVs goes into the ratings as 24 viewers, or can big brother only see it as one, the sports bar account, having the games on? I’ve been curious about that for years.
Reject the industrial sports complex, It’s a circus.
DEPORT THE NFL
I won’t be there...I won’t be watching...I won’t be worried.
I do this crazy thing, I play sports myself.
Not for money of course, but fun, exercise, and camaraderie.
Eff u, NFL...Let your precious lefties fill your coffers...
DAMMIT...I LIKE football....
At this point only a virus can save us...
Oh wait....
Take out all of Pattison Ave & Broad Street for all I care...
The more you try to appease people the more they will believe that they were correct in identifying our racist behavior and will require more appeasement.
These players have multi year multi million dollar contracts. Let them walk away then advertise “Joe Blow just walked away from his million dollar contract. If you want it show up New England Patriots next Thursday at 10:00 am”
Simple and we would still have a season. Maybe not the best but you didn’t have to insult 85% of your audience.
“Let’s just see if a number of people on FR have the backbone to finally stop watching themselves. Seems to be really hard for a lot of them.”
For a lot of men, as I have long observed, pro sports is their common ground and bond with other men. And a thing they seem to have much pride in their knowledge about (standings, stats, odds, trades, game highlights, on and on).
Without it, many seem to have little to talk about or get excited about. And it’s a way to take excitable sides in battles without harsh animosities, unlike politics and religion.
After decades of that peer group activity, it’s probably hard to go without it.
