The decline has become a mystery, for the media and surely for the NFL.

Well, it is not Col Mustard in the kitchen with a candlestick! Can anyone in the NFL or MSM smell anything?

Uh huh. And newspapers don’t understand why readership is at all-time lows. And Target doesn’t understand why its sales are down. And Hollywood doesn’t understand why nobody is going to their movies.

The denial is strong ...

Kapernick was bad enough. The poor baby, FORCED against his will to accept MILLIONS for sitting on the bench.
When poor babies took up his cry and crapped upon their country and its symbol, people (me,too) realized the only way I could express my discust with the inaction of the NFL was to turn my back on their whole world.
The stands will remain full because those seat are already paid for.
A league that will defend the obscene actions of “CERTAIN” of their players, but will not allow others to express their sorrow and sympathies over the massacre of the Police victims in Dallas is not worth bothering will.

What the NFLPA needs to do is what everyone else does when things aren’t going their way: scream its because of bigotry. Then they can move on and continue to ignore the real problem.

On the rare occasion I watch the Sunday morning blowhards on every channel, I’m not watching to see who is planning to kneel for the national anthem and hear 15 minutes of chatter about the social implications and the subtle vote for Hillary pitches, I want information to help me with my fantasy team and my gambling. I’m not saying Kaepernick and the TV stations don’t have the right to do what they are doing. Of course they do. I have the same right to tune them all out.

Fewer people are watching the NFL on TV, and no one really knows why.

No one knows why? Are they really this stupid?

Big ball of light just appeared in the east early today....and no one really knows why.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Maybe the NFL muckety mucks should pull an “Obama” and read about it in the newspaper or something. This is like the terrorist attacks ... no one seems to know “why” or what the motivations were/are. Sheesh. “We the People” know exactly what is going on ... with the NFL & the RADICAL ISLAMIST attacks. The NFL deserves to have their ratings go to the bottom of the tank if they’re too stupid to figure out what is going on .... and too cowardly to deal with the issue.

The world has just become the most mysterious place. Mysterious “intentional explosives” (not bombs) placed by mysterious individuals (not terrorists) with mysterious motives, mysterious youths and teens attacking people for mysterious reasons, mysterious ratings declines for the NFL.

It’s just a mystery, I tell you.

Ever try Contacting the NFL? Well, from my search just now, you can’t simply send them an e-mail telling them what you think. I guess they are like a Congressman under fire, who shuts down his constituents ability to send a comment too! Oh well, I hope they go under, because they are nothing but a few rich white people hearding a bunch of $hit for brains Blacks, paying them thousands of times what they are really worth and passing the bill along to a bunch of fat white guys who can’r find anything more worthwhile to do with their “leisure time.”

Kaperwhatever says he is oppressed.

I certainly do not want to contribute to the organization oppressing him.

Freedom for Kaperwhatever!

I believe the league and owners, are betting that it will pass, and they will suffer no long term damage.

I would like to find a list of offending players, endorsement payments, tv sponsors, etc.

Find other sports and interests. Make the NFL, players, advertisers, and endorsers pay a price, no matter how long it takes.

Because the primary demographic of the typical NFL player is either ghetto trash, trailer trash, or just plain old fashioned white trash. Add to that the players that spit on the very country that has made them rich beyond their wildest dreams, players that are so stupid they'd likely be on welfare in the ghetto, add that to the above and this is one former fan that will never watch the NFL again.

The days of Tom Landry and Roger Staubach are gone forever. Good riddance.
