But don’t hard core fans turn out in any weather, and support the team.even if it appears to be a one sided game?

It seems to depend on the city, the team and in some cases, the difficulty in getting away from the stadium. Some cities do have devoted fans ... Packers, Bears, Giants, Cowboys, Steelers. All of them have turned out and stayed in all kinds of weather, and without regard for how the teams was doing (except MAYBE pre-70s Steelers fans). Some also travel the country to see every game in person.

They are about to hit paydirt with proceeds from Sports Gambling, even if nobody goes to the games, they’ll still rake it in.

The NFL has never been big on legalized sports gambling (and the illegal kind has been around since chariots). How does legalized sports gambling generate money for the NFL?

Atlantans traveled to fill seats of the other team and are now wondering why?

The Browns were so bad yesterday that some of them looked as if they’d been out drinking till 5:30AM before the game.

Solution: Fewer black thugs like Ezekiel Elliott.

Stop discrimination against talented white players.

We need a league full of Jason Wittens — decent, hard working young American men.

Check out the Caste Football web site for a dose of truth.

Stop believing the myth of Negro athletic superiority. It is a Leftist lie foisted upon normal folks to demoralize us by taking away our great national game.

These teams in the article all suck.

Are we seeing empty seats for the good teams? What about the Patriots, Steelers, or Packers?

Very low attendance is the norm for ALL sports teams in Florida. It’s been like that for several years (long before any talk about kneeling). The only exceptions are the NBA’s Miami Heat (when they are good) and the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning. But nice try, Breitbart.

Of course not. Those teams still sell out, and have long waits for tickets. But that wouldn't fit the narrative.

Heck, Bobby Layne used to win NFL Championships doing that, heck he'd even throw back a few at halftime.

Colleges aren’t much better, when UF or FSU are down, the stadium is only about 70% full.

“Nowadays all you’re doing is “rooting for the laundry”, you cannot relate to the players, anymore.”
Watched a few minutes of the Dallas game. The commercials seemed to be targeting the LA ghetto crowd. Is their market really 90% black folks now? That is what it seemed like.

Even on tv, I haven’t watched the Detroit Lions in 20+ years. I’d rather pick rocks out of my car tires.
