Tank you unpatriotic NFL baftards!
Soon your advertisers will begin their exit.
The NFL players AND owners AND the league management have already crossed the Rubicon in my opinion. No going back regardless of what amends any of them try to make going forward.
I realize I am speaking only for myself. Probably most of the people who are upset about this will go back to business as usual as soon as the league stops this crap. I won’t and I believe anyone that does is wrong.
No change or apology coming from any of these parties will be sincere because of a changed heart. It will all be for the money. Just a bunch of whores telling their johns that they love them.
Hey NFL owners and players ... there is no pill for stupid, you’re doomed!
The decline will continue. One by one the owners will come to realize what a train wreck their business has become, and that Roger Goodell is responsible. The owners came out on top in the last CBA negotiated by Goodell, so they were willing to cut him some slack. A LOT of slack. He is now in the process of flushing it all down the toilet. The owners are realizing that Goodell did well in the CBA and TV deals but those mean absolutely nothing if revenue and ratings are plunging. They will take their blinders off and look at the long line of idiotic decisions he has made including BountyGate, Ray Rice, DeflateGate, Ezekiel Elliot, and many others. They are dwarfed however by his tone dear handling of the Anthem issue. He even got a 2nd chance in the off-season to get it right but instead double-downed on his refusal to enforce league rules on Anthem decorum. The owners will conclude that they desperately need a new face of the NFL. Someone who represents minorities and women but will have no problem enforcing league policy for Anthem decorum. Say hello to new NFL commish Condoleeza Rice. Her hiring addresses the issue over the NFL’s perceived lack of action on player misconduct with women. Her hiring addresses issues involving race. She can speak authoritatively to the players in their issues and how to be heard without making political statements while in uniform. She is about the only hope the NFL has of getting back on track after they get rid of Goodell about 30 seconds after the Super Bowl is over.
To be honest, I would not have bothered watching those two teams play regardless of my refusal to watch any NFL.
It was totally unforeseen. /sarc
I used to be a die-hard Pittsburgh fan but will never ever again watch the Pittsburgh Kneelers...or the NFL.
My NFL gear went out with the trash a few weeks ago and is by now buried deep in the local landfill.

We’ll see how this progresses. On Thanksgiving Day, Detroit and Dallas host games. Those same day / same team records go back decades, almost everybody is home and able watch. The other game this year is Redskins/Giants - that promises to be a hot mess. Black Friday this year may have an ominous and new application.
Not watching the NFL again. Turned it off when the NFL thugs-on-parade flipped the bird to my country, my flag and my family that served in the military with their offensive “protests”.
And I don’t miss it at all.
How do they gauge tuning rates? Ford losing customer calls? Well F U Ford
The left found a HUGE useful idiot (emphasis on idiot) in Roger Goodell and is laughing hysterically at the NFL. Yeah, they like the supposed protests but their main goal is to get rid of football and anything “manly.” Goodell is too stupid to see that.
It all started with the breast cancer thing and has mushroomed.
The monkeys are running the zoo. Sooner or later the zookeepers will have to wake up but its almost too late. The people that used to spend their money and Sundays have found something else to do.
Maybe they should invest in social programs like donating $500,000 in support of gun control legislation...49ers...
It is ironic that they protest racial injustice at their multimillion dollar job in a team sport that hires more blacks than whites.
Just proves that throwing tantrums is a black privilege.
You can see the actual attendance data for yourself here:

From over a million to 829K...yeah, that’s a trend fellas. And it’s YOUR FAULT.
If Goodell remains in his job, it means nothing has changed.
I think the only thing keeping the NFL alive is Fantasy football, otherwise they would be out on their butts already.
No, I don’t play Fantasy Football but I have two middle age children who do.
Just wait till the Texans sign Colin Kaepernick. Then it’s really going to go downhill.
