Boy, Goodells wife is really doing a number on him.

[Moorings]

I will be ok without watching NFL football. Life goes on. I might even do something productive and entertaining with that time.

There was a time I used to watch football every Sunday afternoon.

[Little Ray]

Gee, the NFL’s viewership hasn’t declined enough for them?

[Sacajaweau]

No such thing as a black national anthem

[Irenic]

That should make it more palatable for China.

[Skywise]

Red states need to defund the NFL immediately.

[Moorings]

No need to subsidize divisive and racist sports clubs.

[Skywise]

Why do you mean? There’s a black national holiday…

[dfwgator]

What about the Asian and Hispanic Anthems???

Despacito?

[ealgeone]

And the flag to be replace with the flag of blm and the raised fist.

Wow...just when I didn't think the national felons league could get any dumber.

[dfwgator]

Why not just play The Internationale and get it over with.

[rockabyebaby]

They just don’t learn do they.

[ealgeone]

[Red Badger]

[Carl Vehse]

And the mulatto national anthem.

[PGR88]

I’ve found my life has improved without watching professional sports.

I was reducing my exposure over the years any, because its an incredible waste of time, mostly due to TV commercials.

I spend more time outside, I work more on my business, I read more. Its all good.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

We are one country. One people. One flag. One anthem.

The rest is marxist destruction.

[animal172]

Sure am glad I stopped watching right after Kaperhead took a knee.

[ScubaDiver]

They really don’t care. Ratings are...relative. In real viewers, football is down or flat, at best. But, relative to other broadcast shows, football is still easily the most watched programming on TV. Better yet for the NFL and its sponsors, it’s live programming which makes it impossible to ‘fast-forward’ through the commercials, as is endemic with non-live programming that is often consumed using a DVR.

So, while their ad-rates have fallen, then haven’t fallen nearly as much as scripted dramas and reality TV. The NFL is still an enormous cash-cow thanks to the sponsors that line-up to take advantage of those live eyeballs. And that brings us to what’s driving the ‘woke’ push by the NFL; it’s the sponsors. Corporate America is home to some of the biggest progressive champions in the country. The NFL is giving them what they’re demanding.
