All those empty seats for the Saints/Rams game is surprising.

That's no scrub game.

While I love college sports, I have never watched the NBA and quit the NFL over the anti-American BS that they allowed. I have no interest in how my former teams players like Zeke Elliott “acts or plays” in the pros.

A very BIG reason for the losses was that NASCAR started telling their SOUTHERN fans to NOT wave our REBEL FLAG at the races. = It’s called: SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT.

The fact that LA is really Northern Mexico might be part of the problem.

LA historically has had trouble supporting an NFL team. I suppose it’s lot’s of nice weather and plenty of things to do. I have no idea how they are going to support two.

The NFL is actually really popular in Mexico.

Dawgs vs Notre Dame! I will be there with my G hat on cheering wildly. I usually only go to the GA-FL ga,e these days and let my children and their spouses use the tickets other games but not this one!

"Los Vaqueros de Dallas" are the most popular team in Mexico, by far.

Some Mexican network used to send a broadcast team here to Pittsburgh to cover Los Hombres de Acero.

This Military household does NOT watch NFL or any other Kneelers. We have 8 buried under the Flag and more to go as they age and pass on.

I’ve given up on almost all professional sports.

The only games I attend are at our local baseball stadium. Our Sussex County Miners won the Can-Am League championship last year, and were on their way to a second championship last Saturday night. They were in first place from opening day until Saturday night, when they lost to the Jersey Jackals.

Tickets cost $10.00-$13.00. The food is, relative to Yankee Stadium, a bargain, as is the beer. And many local micro-breweries sell their brands for a slight premium.

The games usually attract a big crowd of people who are, for the most part, neighbors (we’re a very rural county). We make a lot of noise, but there’s no cussin’ or pukin’ like the big leagues.

It’s a great way to spend a Friday or Saturday night, and it’s only 20 minutes from home!

I don’t watch it either- my post was about people that still go- IF they felt disgust about the kneelers- then hey could send a very strong message to the NFL that kneeling is unacceptable by walking out en mass- and demanding their money back- but they won’t do that- they aren’t truly pissed about the kneelers

I’m a big basketball and football fan and I gave up the NBA entirely a couple of years ago.

I’ve given up all football, except the Patriots and the Rams. When Brady retires, I’ll be done with the Pats. My friend has a son on the Rams and I’ll follow him until he’s out of the league, then the NFL will be dead to me.

The combination of pro players who hate America along with the advertisements that hate me (white male) have taken all the joy out of sports.

I used to keep RedZone on in the background to see what was going on, and then all the disrespectin’ the USA assholes started with all their bullcrap... I got tired of all the jive-assed, punky, in-their-faces attitudes, trash-talking asswipes... and even worse, the “normal” teammates standing behind them uttering gibberish about “their rights to protest whatever...” A liar by omission is still a liar. I decided the last thing I needed was to be lectured even one iota about social justice by these liberal blockheads.

To HELL with the NFL. At least NASCAR has the invocations, the FLAG ceremonies, the National Anthem, and military flyovers...and they demonstrate thier respect for the men and womem who serve our country! God Bless ‘em, everyone.

Anyway, I live for college football Saturdays... SEC football predominantly... I’m a Tide fan, and I usually get the grill going early, but I do make it a point to watch every SEC game if possible... and I do monitor other conference games throughout the afternoon and evenings. Usually, by the time we get to the Left Coast games, I’m just plumb tuckered out and too full of down-home barbecue to watch ‘em! That’s what the Sunday morning College Football Wrap-up is for.

Like many things at my age, I realized something important: I don’t need this aggravation from the NFL and their social justice ilk... PISS on the NFL! Persoanally, I’d rather go and inventory my sock and underwear drawers rather than watch them.

i can’t believe how expensive tickets are.
I’m surprised there aren’t a whole lot more empty seats.
