People are not going to stop watching the NFL no matter what they do. They can wave the hammer and sickle flag and the fans will still watch and cheer them on.

Some will, but fewer every game, I would expect. The backbone of the NFL fan demo has been the aging white baby boomer who came of age rooting for the Pete Rozell league of the 60's, when there were two televised games on Sunday afternoon ("The NFL Today!")and that was it until 1969 the debut of "the Church of Monday Night Football" with Howard Cosell and Dandy Don, the first few Super Bowls after the AFL-NFL rivalry.

These pampered jockstraps weren't even born when the NFL was at its peak.

Now, the NFL is just like horse racing or boxing, a jerk off sport for degenerate gamblers and their bookies.

The question is not whether they could lose everyone (of course not), but if they could lose some millions of fans. Yes, especially all of us more devoted to country than NFL. If they lose 10-20% of their TV audience (let’s hope, at a minimum) that is going to be a huge hit to revenues. If we could get an organized movement and make the hit 30%, the owners and league officials would be in a total panic.
