Give it time. The players and mouthpieces (commentators) are going to double down on their criticism of the fans. It will be like kicking the proverbial hornets' nest.

After a couple of weeks, fans will be into the habit of doing other activities on Sundays, and ratings will be Chinese torture for the owners.

It won't affect the players until the salary cap is announced for the 2021 season. The biggest impact will be on mid-range veteran players, who will be cut for the salary cap, in favor of rookies and players with less than a few years in the league.

IOW, we're going to have to play the game of "long war."

You betcha. I was flipping channels last week and came across Terry Bradshaw talking about something. I always liked Bradshaw, so I stopped to listen.

Bradshaw was talking about how the owners and the fans need to support these player protests. Yep, even the fans must be social activists now.
