LA Times ^ | Sept 26, 2017 | AP

The NFL, for its part, was not all that eager to continue the back-and-forth with Trump. “He’s exercising his freedom to speak,” league spokesman Joe Lockhart said on a conference call with reporters, “and I’m exercising my freedom not to react.”

The NFL Owners know they screwed the Pooch

The Goal has always been to grow the game

Blackmail Cities into building Stadiums at Taxpayer expense ( Goodell used the Super Bowl as leverage ) Now no owner would dare go to the Pubic and ask for a Stadiums.

Players and owners split Revenues as part of the Salary Cap

Before the Fight over kneeling it was going to cost 200 Million to the teams in ad refunds or 7 Million per team.

One day the players and owners will realize the golden egg is over Forever

Anyone want to give the over/under on how much money Goodel and the NFL has spent on “consultants” over the past ten days?

Fear is setting in at NFL offices.

But there’s no way out.

I predict pain.

And possibly fistfights in the stands if “fans” try locking arms during the anthem as requested by a couple of teams. Packers for one.

The fans are just meh according to them. Who needs them. Right. They can play in an empty stadium and still make the big money.

My folks are livid (all military) - they fought under our Flag and had friends die and be buried under it and these miserable cretins just trashed it and the memory of Americans who died while serving and we who now live under it. How many veterans who've lost legs would give anything to be able to stand when the Anthem is played and the flag displayed. I can state here and now that the NFL and the teams are truly despicable.

And don't get me started on how I feel.

That's all about to change. Like the old Midnight Oil song, "Your Dream World is just about to end."

If the NFL was smart, they would apologize for protesting during the national anthem and claim that they didn’t mean disrespect to the country regardless of the fact that the guy who started it all, says he definitely meant to disrespect the country.

The longer they delay, the more fans they will lose permanently.

One can only hope. It would be fun to see. Then we’d go watch a college game.

I’m afraid all of this is coming to College Football as well.

Once the NFL figures out this kneeling stuff is killing the sport, college players will be warned that kneelers won’t be drafted.
