Maybe they need to start a new league for patriotic players.

Hey National Felon League, this is a NO BRAINER, You want Ratings??

Notify EVERY TEAM that if ANY PLAYER Refuse to Stand for the NATIONAL ANTHEM, that Player will be IMMEDIATELY and PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THE NFL, and The COACH and Team Owners will each individually be fined $10 Million Dollars PER INSTANCE.

Failure of ANY fine to be paid within 72 hours will cause the ENTIRE TEAM to be Suspended for the duration of the Season.

Problem Solved.

I have. I love me some football. Not gonna lie.

The Superbowl that The Saints won was my absolute favorite.

I still have my Saints Superbowl wallet in my pocket.

However, I have walked away. Gone. Don’t need ‘em, don’t need their disrespect. Screw ‘em.

LOL! First one has to recognize the problem. Then one has to accept the truth of the problem. Only then can one rectify the problem.....

“My wife just told me she was listening to a sports talk radio show a few minutes ago. They were discussing whether ANY championship sports team would ever go to the White House to meet Trump.”

I hope they aren’t invited in the first place. Many of them are over-paid thugs.

I was going to suggest canning him.

Well, it was not that long ago some poor guy fell into the steamer they use to can tuna for canning, maybe it is still in operation?

Pro Tip:

They might not want to have a Spirit Cooking practitioner at their Superbowl Halftime Show.

I’d prefer the Lingerie league get a bit more national “exposure.”

Lingerie league and sagging ratings are not a good match.

Very politically incorrect to overtly state but the decline in ratings clearly has to do with race. The NFL features and publicizes predominantly black players. Often they are seen in less than flattering circumstances. Behavior and antics on the field, often criminal behavior off it, simply turns off many white viewers. One only need look at the real overall NBA ratings. Call it racist, a cultural disconnect or whatever, but it is what it is. Fewer people find it interesting or something they find enjoyable ,entertaining and can identify with.

Isn’t Trump hater Crazy Gaga doing the Super Bowl half-time show this year? Not watching that game and letting NFL and sponsors know.

Fifteen yard penalty for wearing ANY shade of pink on the field.

The games are just d*mn boring to watch. I’m tired of watching wealthy players jump offside, line up offside, block in the back on darn near every punt or kickoff and the referees who have no consistency on pass interference or holding calls.
Add to that the constant boring ass commercials about cars and beer at every possession change.
The product of the NFL sucks.
