Between the extreme PCness of ESPN, and the now more pervasive PC quality to the whole of the NFL itself, and now the trashing of the National Anthem and it being allowed to happen by the NFL, the NFL experience is now totally unpleasant. What do they expect to happen when they have turned off almost all of Middle America? They should expect lower ratings, and that is exactly what they are getting. The NFL sure hasn’t read its audience well. Doesn’t seem to know who they are or how they think.
I am a devote Steelers fan. Not watching is hard for me but not as hard as the sacrifices other men have made for me.
