The ATL is a horrible pro sports town but one would think the Falcons being defending NFC champions would at least get full houses at their new dome.

A bunch of millionaires play a game and I’m supposed to care who wins...

That only happens if people feel like they, somehow, represent them in some mysterious way. Break that bond, and its just a bunch of guys in silly outfits doing who cares what.

I don’t think they get that even yet. But they will. It just may be too late when they do. They are destroying their own livelihood.

Wait until next year when people don’t renew their season tickets

NFL owners will be digging deep in their personal wallets to make up for the millions former fans aren’t giving them to pay their multi-million dollar “protesting” Prima Donnas.
Good.

The Southeast is dominated by college football. It doesn’t surprise me that the NFL isn’t as popular there as it is in other parts of the U.S.

Last night I ate at a restaurant that used to have NFL or college football on whenever a game was on. But instead they had the European version of football - soccer. Five screens I could see and not one was NFL.

Awesome! There is hope yet! I go into a cigar place quite frequently and sit down and visit. They have 4 TV’s. Two were set to NFL football yesterday. I told the owner I wouldn’t be buying there when televising the NFL. He just shrugged his shoulders. Makes me wonder if anyone else has said the same to him but his reaction was less than I expected. I suppose more want it on than don’t so...

Went to a local restaurant/bar yesterday for lunch with wife.
Asked the propieter to change channel on tv that had on the National Felon’s League.
He actually complied, most probably because no one was watching.
Eff the NFL.

Still too many people at those games. Sad.

Forget it, folks...the NFL has committed suicide....but, they are not alone, folks...the entire Democrat Party is doing exactly the same thing.

Can you imagine these moron Democrats are letting Hillary Clinton loose, out of the insane asylum do “Hari-Kari” to the entire Democrat Party. I heard a rumor today, that Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama are working on getting Harvey Weinstein to become the “Poster Boy” of the Democrat Party.

They are trying to team up Jimmy Kimmel and Harvey Weinstein on the same poster Campaign. The poster will read “Kill the Second Amendment & Open Season on raping any women you choose”...vote Democrat!!! Goodness, what a team?

And, to piss even more people off, the lack of a sellout means no local TV coverage.

Fox skipped the Anthem for the Bears/Ravens game. When they returned from the commercial break, it sounded like the crowd was booing. Maybe there was some kneeling going on?

How long before the Air Force stops their Anthem flybys if they're not going to get any TV time?

Like most here. I can live without the NFL.
No longer interested. Let the thugs enjoy it.

Weekly TV viewership has been dropping 8-10% per week. It will be interesting to see this past weekend’s numbers.

Based on those pix, ticket sales are likely down significantly, too.

That ‘weak-kneed’ apology from the NFL commish and owners apparently wasn’t too appeasing.

Owners starting to panic. “Moving past”, is telling... Popcorn time.

Not to worry NFL, the ACLU-type libs will pick up the slack. Right?

The problem is that the NFLPA is getting advice from an organization operated by one George Soros. No wonder why NFL TV viewership and attendance is down--sometimes substantially!

To be fair, there’s other things affecting football beyond the NFL controversy. NCAA college football attendance has been dropping six years in a row. Empty seats are becoming a feature at all levels of the game.
