I don't know why many are surprised. The NFL nowadays is just foul, many of the players are violent criminals, they're arrogant, big mouthed, over paid and they assign a whole lot of importance to themselves.

Just what I want to do on a Sunday, go see Antifa vs BLM. Gak~

Poor babies... They got their 11 million dollars and now are soon to be out of a job¡ Well, now they can join those they wanted to support. Next... let;s get some players on the field who LOVE American and respect the flag and PLAY BALL.

Gonna be kind of hard to pay those multi-million dollar salaries let alone the mortgages on the stadiums.

Would you let your son spend time with most of the NFL players?

Does your data represent tickets sold, or bodies in seats?

"Who cares."

The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.

The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.

Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

Percy Bysshe Shelley

This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!

ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!

They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.

This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.

All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.

The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.

We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.

They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"

The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.

The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".

We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.

Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.

We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!

I noticed there weren't many fan close-ups. So, no more of these:

agreed....showing pics at kickoff in cities where the team sucks is nothing more than spin.

It’s only going to get worse as more teams fall out of the playoff picture.

the Eagles Redskins game will be standing room only on Monday night, but will be 30% empty at kickoff. People tailgate till the last minute, others are in the beer line.

“A lot of times the fans do not get into the stands until after the game had started. It looks looks like fake news.”

correct. stands often don’t fill up until well after the games have started, and who knows WHEN these “empty stands” pictures were actually taken.

good data, but hardly looks like the stands were half empty.

You have to be careful — are you counting sold tickets or actual turnstile gate entry — butts in seats.

If you have some season tickets you give away or don’t use, it is still count as sold for full price. But with this now into its second year I don’t see season ticket sales going too well. The fans that pick them up when they are surrendered by old time fans may not have the money to buy them with the abandon that was done the last four decades.

I was VP in the 80s and 90s of a local construction company. We bought two sets of four club level seats with club passes. We took clients to the games and the brunch before hand in the club. Probably spent 20k a year on those seats and the related entertaining — all going to the local team.

Many people will cut back or just spend the money on a Golf tournament.

Is it just coincidence these are all losing teams. No, I don’t think so Tim. This has way more to do with fair weather fans bailing out on bad teams than any protests. Believe me, if these teams were undefeated, they would all be sold out.
