The NFL’s Week 16 did not look very good for a number of teams hoping to pull fans into stadiums as the season wears down. This week’s empty seats started on Saturday when the Washington Redskins visited the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium...

Lots of photos of empty seats. Guess fans do not like to be accused of racism. When the Broncos took a knee I switched channels and have not watched a MFL game since. I only watch college football, unless they start taking a knee. The MFL is dead to me. They have started the cause of their failure. Good riddance.

Gentlemen: We’re missing something here. The salary cap is GOING UP next year. Players will benefit. Rewarding their behavior. Pretty smart. Owners know it too. Like the Deep State.

If the Raiders are smart they’ll play their final 2 home games in Honolulu. 10 days in the islands. The rest of the season should be in S.F.’s ATT (baseball) park. Win win.Good publicity. Maybe even one in Samoa(Sept home opener).

I am happy for them.

I am not attending and I am not watching on TV. I hope they lose their a@@es. I hope the NFL punks that showed disrespect for our flag lose big-time. If fans tune out, it will eventually cost them.

SF would be great. Giants(baseball) aren’t going anywhere in October and public transportation to and fro will be easy. Ferries on Sunday. Wine and kiche. No empty seats. Environmentalists will love it.

TV contract. Stadiums have less people, but the NFL is making more money from TV revenue. Maybe even with less TV viewers.

“Weak 16: Fans Still Missing AS NFL Season Nears Its End!”

In the future, surviving Business schools will document how many CEO’s including the owners of the NFL came close to destroying their companies with their liberal attacks against America and those who love America.


Politics at its very core embodies the selective. i.e., once a political position is stated you have to account that you are now on the opposite side of 50% of all current, as well as potential customers. Sometimes the numbers can be higher. But that’s the rule-of-thumb. That’s why it used to be the absolute last thing any CEO worth-their-salt would argue publicly, let alone place its business and customers directly into any political fray.

It would seem many of these CEO’s forgot they were in the business of business – not the business of politics. And I have a sinking suspicion the price they are going to pay both in reputation, as well as share holder condemnation will be legend.

The NFL in a nutshell - Seattle played tonight and as the broadcast was signing off I could see the big scoreboard said, “Happy Kwanza!”
Don’t know if they said anything about Christmas.

Funny how things that do not exist are so often described as missing.

NFL fans are missing in the same way that the eighth grade science project that never even got looked at during Christmas break is missing when class resumes.

Politics ruins everything.

If an event is not designed as political, it gets ruined should politics creep in. That simple.

This leaves most rallies, debates and ceremonies as the only safe havens for political expression.

If the event is not expected to be political then keep it that way. Whether it’s a concert, play, shopping mall, movie theater, doctors office: keep politics out. That’s how we can get along.

NFL fans are missing also like the cylinders in an engine are missing.

A tuneup won’t fix the NFL, and probably not even an overhaul.
