Money quote:

As of last week, the 2017-2018 NFL season is down almost 8% in viewers from the same Week 5 point in the 2016-2017 season.

Hit them where it hurts.

I don’t like that they only compare it to last year. I’ve been boycotting for 2 years now since that Colin first took a knee.

I hope the owners remember this decline when negotiating the thug’s contracts. They need to give these clueless idiots some lessons on basic economics.

I will continue my boycott of these thugs.

The NFL can look forward to declining revenues and viewership.

Spit on your audience and they will not come back.

Was removing THE NATIONAL ANTHEM from professional sports the endgame all along?

The problem is the NFL exec are Ivy League snobs and Manhattan socialites. Most of them have never met a Trump supporter. It’s why NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart smugly said that Trump was “out of touch.”

I don’t think they realize that not showing the national anthem makes it worse.

This is not going to go away this season. It will probably just get worse - for the NFL.

Down 5% from last week’s Thursday game. Of course, yesterday night was also Game 5 of the NLDS between the Cubs & Nationals.

Suppose they all stand now? What are we to do with the images of them all kneeling? Of Cam Newton and his black power fist? What does that he mean, he’s BLM and he hates white people? Desean Jackson stretching during the anthem. The entire Steelers team hiding out in the locker room.

The NFL is done. Bring back the USFL! Fireworks at halftime, free flags to the fans. NFL would fold in one year.

Considering all the controversy the last several weeks
an 8% decline is not much at all

After Marcus Lemonis told Trump supporters not to come to Camping world, store visitors dropped to 20 per day at many locations. It has recovered to some extent after his apology.

And here comes the NBA. . . He'd probably be in prison if it weren't for the NBA.

What a role model for youth . . .

Now that the Eagles are 5-1, sounds like the Cowboys told the NFL that it’s ok for Ezekiel Elliott to start serving his suspension, since they aren’t going to make the playoffs anyway.

The preachers that gathered outside the stadium, taking a knee and throwing up the Black Power fist, should have their churches’s tax-free status removed. I hope a Trump admin person or an IRS agent was there writing down the preachers’s names.

Fans should applaud those players who kneel for paying homage to their perceived slavemasters.

So if the media doesn’t show the players kneeling how is the protest helping the players? Don’t you have to have media exposure to bring attention to your cause?

So the networks don’t show the playing of the Anthem,like that’s gonna make the problem go away and bring the fans back? Are they really this stupid? Have they heard of this newfangled thing called social media, FB, You Tube, etc. and contraptions like Androids?

They seem to think that by not showing what we all know exists, they can appease us - seeing is believing and pretending that the anti-American ass-hats aren’t what they are ain’t gonna do it for them.
