Deflated: NFL popularity at new low, just 3 in 10 are ‘favorable’
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 6/1/2018 | Paul Bedard

The National Football League has done nothing to recover during the off season from it’s miserable popularity ratings that are now at the lowest ever.

Rocked by the issues of players taking a knee during the playing of the National Anthem, overly long games, and scandalous players, just 35 percent say they have a favorable view of “America’s sport.”

Well, when you're digging a hole, when you can't see out the top, quit digging. Some holes can't be filled back in. Anyone come up with a cartoon showing a kapernik outline kneeling with a circle/slash through it?

The only way out of this for the NFL is to scrap the NFL and re-brand the league under new management.

Your political views must be pro-America or you don’t even get to try out.

The NFL players taking a knee is why I am now an NHL season ticket holder.

All this crapola with the NFL started 30 years ago when they decided FELONS and GANG BANGER THUGS should represent them on the Field.

Why did it take so long for everyone to realize the Pro Sports Community HATES AMERICA and Everything it stands for??

And the headstone reads: “RIP KAPS CAREER” At least his muzzie GF will be proud of him. If they’re still a thing.

“I’m wondering how the season ticket sales are going??”

Obviously crappy. That’s why they did this stunt. I suspect that they knew it wouldn’t work long term - but hoped it would fool the fans just long enough to renew their tickets.

I don’t think it even worked that long.

On the bright side, folks are consuming less beer and chips, accomplishing more projects, and not looking ridiculous walking around in NFL gear.

It seems the Green Bay Packers have a waiting list for season tickets.

However, if you put your name on the Waiting List today, you will get your seats just in time for the 2048 Season.

A couple of thoughts:

That kneeling photo in the article can’t be unseen. It happened. There is no way to undo it.

If the NFL is counting on Democrats to fill their seats and watch their games on TV good luck to them.

Most Democrats I know would rather praise Donald Trump than watch a NFL game.

The only team NOT owned by a particular individual. The fans own them.

Given the panic of management, do you even need to ask??

If a network was smart they’d begin counter-programming NFL games with world rugby matches. Then the fan could see just how much contact has been removed from the NFL game. Heck, the new kickoff rules are a joke.

We shall see how principled the kneelers are when their contracts expire and they are told the pot of gold is less than half full.

Watch NFL management try to undo the damage with disingenuous patriotic messages this year. You can bet they have consultants working feverishly on this.

But the damage is already done. The players and management have already exposed who and what they really are.
