I predict if Hillary wins, nobody is going to go to or watch any sporting events.

Who is going to cheer for their team when their country is on the verge of becoming North Korea?

Wait until they have to get real jobs, most of them will be lucky to get $10.00 an hour.

I watched most of the Texas Rangers home and away games, and until the last couple of weeks of the season, the stadiums were 1/3 to 2/3 empty, game after game, week after week.

Because folks knew what was coming, living around here it was like the Rangers weren't even in the playoffs, nobody cared. And then we saw why.

[HangUpNow]

Did they televise the Patriots game this past weekend?

With access to both the Philly and NY market, that game was not aired.

The Pats are the only team I'd truly be interested in watching. After Brady leaves, there'll be no compelling to watch the NFL's PC/SJW/Thug action, breaking a committed viewership that extended into the 1960s. IOW, "It's dead, Jim."

The NFL is stupid. Once the fan leaves he is gone. Sunday is now going to grand daughter’s softball games. No cost, no hassle. Plenty of smiles to go around and light up the park. Not going back then today I live in San Diego and the Chargers left 20 years ago.

I suspect that much of the drop-off in viewers is due to the Trump effect.

[Be Careful]

Obama will be on ESPN fr 1 hour.....to try to mitigate their mess.....is this an “in kind” campaign contribution?

For sure it will only exacerbate the boycott.....I really hope so

[PAR35]

Of course the ratings are down. The pros had go go against the Georgia-South Carolina game Sunday afternoon. (Just helping out the NFL Commissioner and owners by giving them a new excuse to throw into the mix.)

I live overseas and traveled back to the US recently to visit family on an extended vacation. I was hoping to have a few cold ones while visiting and relaxing with my 2 sons. The stupid so called protest and the NFL’s mishandling of it ruined my plan. Didn’t watch a full game while home, and don’t plan on watching any the rest of the season (don’t get games here in the Philippines anyway). Just another thing liberals have ruined that I have added to my list of not watching, including any show that pushes the homo/gblt(pronounced giblets) agenda, most FOX news now, the UFC(I have no interest in watching chicks fight), and a few others...might have to just turn the ole TV into a fireplace now. :)

We have Packer fans coming for Thanksgivig - my wife promised to take them to see the Skins-Packers game for SNF - told her she only needs three tickets now

[Popman]

How much of that goes to their buddies in Chicago or LA? How much finds its way to various mosks?

Probably very little

At first it goes to bling, homes, women, liquor and family.

Then most of it goes to baby mommies, lawyers and tax accountants...

Then they go broke...

[KSCITYBOY]

Perfect.

[KSCITYBOY]

You left off drugs....

The NFL is stupid. Once the fan leaves he is gone.

Yes, dopey and arrogant. They apparently believe their new female fans, and those in Guatemala and China will more than compensate for whining conservative baby-boomer males who've provided the underpinnings of NFL football.

Today I live in San Diego and the Chargers left 20 years ago.

You're ahead of the curve (although Charger Fans have been tortured since Dan Fouts left ;-)
