The NFL likely hoped for a return to normalcy for Week 6, especially after Commissioner Goodell’s call to “move past the anthem controversy,” and address the issue in detail at league meetings on Tuesday. Instead, what the NFL got was a return to what has become the “new normal” in the age of anthem protests: empty seats.

So many empty seats! Love seeing that. :D
Yes but most NFL teams sell-out on a season ticket basis, so it will be next year before this catches up with them.

Read yesterday that the local Dallas Cowboy-Green Bay Packers was down from 37 to 30 in local TV ratings and the season is down from an average 31.5 to a 30. The 30.0 marks a drop of 19 percent.
NFL ratings nationwide are down 6 percent.
here is the page I’m referencing.

This is why “Jerrah” is insisting on players stand for the anthem.
If fanatically loyal Cowboy fans are making “Jerrah”sweat buckets, imagine less dominate sports teams are feeling.
This boycott is real and not going away any time soon.

What if by the end of this season (or whenever you have to commit) the resale prices have dropped well below your cost? Will you still buy to preserve your PSL?

Honestly, I’m trying to sell the PSLs so I don’t have to bother with it anymore.

Partner, I think we all here in Freeperland want the NFL to just die.
They should be so thankful and appreciative that they live in the good ole U.S. of A. but they obviously are not grateful that they live in the U.S.
They can move to another country as far as I'm concerned.
The owners and the that lousy NFL commissioner Roger Goodell have created this monster.
Maybe there is a correlation when you have more than 70% of the NFL are Black and filthy rich and a minority and we get protests of the American flag.
The NFL is dead to me here in Texas and to a lot of other folks from our great state of Texas.

Suck on that, NFL. Al Davis is up there laughing his head off I’ll bet.
