This had to hurt. NFL ticket sales down 18% down this week.

Last Sunday over 200 NFL players knelt during the US national anthem on Gold Star Mothers Day.

 

StubHub announced a 10% discount in NFL tickets this week.

And now this…
NFL ticket sales are down 18% compared to last year at this time.
The Washington Examiner reported:

The National Football League is feeling the impact of the “Trump Effect.”

Ticket sales since he called on team owners to fire players who take a knee to protest the National Anthem have cratered.

The online ticket reseller TickPick told Secrets that sales have dropped 17.9 percent, far more than the usual Week Three fall.

From TickPick:

• 17.9 percent decrease in NFL orders this week compared to the previous week.
• Last year the drop was 10.8 percent in orders on Monday & Tuesday following Week Three games.

“We have seen a massive decrease in NFL ticket purchases this past week in comparison to years past. Week 3 seems to usually have less ticket orders than week 2, but this year ticket purchases are down more than 7 percent from this time last year,” said TickPick’s Jack Slingland.

Several Chargers players torched their shirts and jackets this week.

Has anyone seen what this means in dollar terms? 1% = 100 million, something like that.

All this lays out is that individuals who often buy thirty tickets and do reselling on the side for a cash profit as you approach game-day....are sitting there with tickets which aren’t moving that well. It presents a problem that these folks will have to discount the tickets and lose money as they finally dump the tickets. As spring of 2018 comes and the teams sell next year’s tickets...those will be the problems that people would expect. Expect 20-percent discount for the 2018 season.

Goodall may be a radical leftist but he makes 42 million dollars a year.

For doing what?

For doing what he’s told. He get’s it, the NFL is as much social engineering as it is a business. He’s being paid to understand the big picture, from the oligarchs perspective.

The NFL should be scared - they have been exposed as supporters of BLM which is nothing more than a police-hating terrorist group.

I think this will end badly for them - disrespecting our nation, flag, military, veterans, and all those who fought and died to give these multimillionaire brats the freedoms they have today.

The average American will tune them out and stop buying their products.

Anti-military protests? When did this become about the military?

The real impact will be felt in merchandising.
Also, while many people may still watch the games, the pre and post game shows are going to suffer BIG TIME as the “protests” are all they talk about.

Heh, I have often thought the same thing. It's a joke.

Wow, that's quite a list. Almost enough whiskey to make Hillary tipsy.

Joe Lockhart, clinton pal, has been associated with the NFL for the last four years. An employee for two years. He was there for the Beyonce BLM black panther half time show, and said he wants to be Agressive showing what they stand for.
