I think the NFL has stabbed their supporters in the back long before President Trump said a word. This kneeling started before Trump took office.

The NFL (like it or not) is a major cultural influence. If you are fine with eight year olds taking knees for BLM, then I see your point.

“This kneeling started before Trump took office.”

Kraft gave President Trump a million dollars plus; President Trump then calls for a boycott of the man’s franchise, which is worth $3.7 billion. I’m on Mr. Kraft’s side on this; Trump turned into a backstabber.

That one of footballs big problems the kids aren't into it these days it seems. They have trouble all the way down the pipeline.

I stopped watching two years ago haven't missed it but also because I don't watch. My family doesn't watch so the advertisers lost all of us.

Eliminating 1 fan(I watched a couple games on sunday) eliminated multiple viewers.

I imagine that is quite common. It seems they didn't need our money anyhow. Man there is an opportunity here

I hope all people remember this the next time your team threatens to leave unless they get a new stadium with lots of luxuray boxes.

I propose instead of funding the monopoly that is the NFL we support inter-mural leagues in our communities with the winner getting extra money for the municipalities.

The more I'm away from professional sports the more contrived and silly it all seems. But I got rid of cable and life got better.
