The NFL entered Week 7 today and it's obvious the backlash against players kneeling for the national anthem continues.
Here are a few tweets from around the league showing fans voting with their pocketbooks by not purchasing game tickets, leading to half-full -- or worse -- stadiums.

Awwww...
There are two many fannies in those seats—talk to your friends who are football fans—boycott the NFL that hates you!
Half empty......................
cue Don Meridith:
“turn out the lights, the party’s over, all good things..”
Democrats.
Sing it, Dan-da-roo!
I didn’t watch any games, but a friend said that the networks didn’t show many crowd shots.

The NFL hates America, America noticed.
GTH NFL
Wouldn’t be shocked if the NFL cuts several teams in the next few years. There are too many teams as it is.
This does not look good for the NFL but they can afford to have very few people show up to games for a season. In the long run, the NFL is counting on this blowing over and not impacting the most significant form of revenues for each team: network TV contracts, Microsoft and Direct TV.
So many of those seats are presort, so there are two better metrics to see what is really happening.
Parking revenues, and licensed clothing sales. Both are WAY down, according to folks I know that do both.
If your team is losing its a twofer. Stop watching less pain.

“Sponsorships, media, partnerships, ticket and concession sales are some of the most important revenue streams for the NFL. In 2015, the revenue of all 32 NFL teams added up to 12.16 billion U.S. dollars, the highest figure to date. NFL regular season ticketing revenue made up about 16.45 percent of the league’s total revenue in 2015, while NFL league and team sponsorship generated 1.2 billion U.S. dollars that same year.”
Now I've finally got it, they gotta pay the players their multi millions for throwing a toy ball.
No wonder why I think there is a move to oust Roger Goodell as NFL Commissioner.
Advertisers need to renegotiate their contracts... waaaaaay down...
Buffalo Bills games are usually the cheapest, partially because of lower ticket prices (approx. $100 per game) but also, poor performance means late-season internet pricing can be well below that. I too can not fathom spending $350 a ticket for a larger-city team, plus the additional $100 or more for parking, snacks. It is outrageous. At those prices, I think many fans are just looking for a reason to leave the NFL behind, and Goodell has given us one.
Yep. The advertisers are charged per market share and are not getting what they're paying for. It's a time bomb and it's ticking. The actual figures on which they'll base their advertisement purchases aren't necessarily public information, so we may have to wait until the next round of advertising sales to get a picture of the real damage. 20% of that down - and that figure may be conservative - is a lot of loot.
Soros wants American football injured beyond repair.
George Soros can kiss my @$$.
