Or the Dallas Pussies!
Or the Dallas Pussies!
You go into a bar and there are many TVs on. Who is watching what? Some people aren’t watching at all.
Who was the dumba** disrespectful Chief sitting on the bench during the anthem? On a day after the slaughter of 60 Americans.....
Ratings go up for the Cowboys and decline for almost every other team.
On one end of the spectrum, you have outraged fans burning their NFL gear and season tickets. On the other end of the spectrum, you have fans who are still going to games, yet in Liberal Baltimore, these fans were booing the SJW language coming from PA announcer......”please stand for equality and justice”.
I’m sure a lot of those “booers” know people who are boycotters. And this is the big danger for the NFL.
Rooting for a team is contagious, and so is losing interest in a team.
When a whole city is excited about a game or a playoff series that their team is competing in, it creates a communal sense of euphoria. Everyone knows that it’s just a game, and that the players are no angels. But for the sake of everyone sharing a nice feeling together, they can focus on the positive.
But when you have die hard fans, the kind of people who went to tailgate parties, and arrived hours before a game to cook burgers in the parking lot, and these fans are burning their NFL gear, it has a psychological effect on the other fans.
What’s a party, if half the gang isn’t in a partying mood? A party that ends pretty quickly with a mood of discontent.
