MMW, the next time it will not be volunteers...
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Not seeing a big deal here. You think those spontaneous displays of fandom they use in the bumpers are actually spontaneous. It’s how people get on TV.
The national felon league is finished. “The sons of botches wont stand for the flag and we can’t stand them!! My house w2ill watch none of it!! EVER
So, I guess that would make Sean McVay the new Harvey Weinstein?
Like the ad says “Real people, not actors” meaning that actors are not real people.
Years ago North Korea had an extremely involved media coverage campaign of their participation in the World Soccer World Cup. There was just ONE catch:
North Korea wasn’t IN the World Cup.
Through creative editing they deceived the ENTIRE country.
They would have a clip of a NK soccer player scoring a goal, then they’d put in a clip of astonished, admiring fans from the world over, the fans going wild.
Day after day, it was like that, presumably the entire NK viewing public thunderstruck with national pride at their trouncing of all teams daring to challenge Mighty North Korea.
NONE OF THEIR PLAYERS WERE THERE.
This NFL monkey biz sounds vaguely similar.
The thugs of the BLM/NFL are still rolling down hill; but at this point what does it matter? The TNF game lost another 5% and worse still is that NO ONE CARES!
“Los Angeles gets an unwarranted rap as a bad sports town...”
Now that’s fake news. It is true that fans won’t show up unless you’re a winner, and LA fans don’t rush out for the latest NFL transplant in an old venue, but bad sports town? Really?
When you add up all the Olympics, Super Bowls, World Series, NBA and NHL finals, plus Rose Bowl Games, you won’t find another city that can match that record. On weekends when USC and UCLA both play home football games, the combined crowd exceeds most every other major football power. Oh, soccer is big here too.
Yeah, bad sports town.
Gotta fill the seat somehow.

Football is a cash cow that may cost the networks millions. As it is in politics, where cash is at risk there are no ethics. None.
I’m dreaming of a Chargers-Rams Super Bowl. The NFL’s ultimate nightmare.
I seem to recall in the 70’s (maybe it was early 80’s), the NFL used cardboard cutouts and put those into vacant sections of empty seats to give the appearance of a “crowd”.
Regardless—FUNFL
Didn’t watch but, I guess Jacksonville beat Seattle SJW thugs. Goooood!
