The NFL’s top corporate sponsors haven’t expressed any concern about the unprecedented wave of player national anthem protests this weekend, a league spokesman said Monday.
NFL players engaged in widespread demonstrations on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump called on the league’s owners to fire ‘son of a [expletive]’ who kneel during the pregame national anthem. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the vast majority of the league’s 32 owners issued statements in solidarity with players and condemned Trump for engaging in divisive rhetoric.
“We talk to our sponsors all the time, whether it’s raining or the sun is out. We’ve talked to them, we keep them informed. I haven’t heard of a single issue of a sponsor that is worried or has raised particular issue about the weekend,” NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart told reporters during a conference call Monday.
Is there a list yet of NFL sponsors?
Anyone have a list of sponsors?
It's also true at the low end of the scale, at least if you're an illegal alien, or non-white. Both groups are susceptible to "America is evil and/or racist" propaganda.
If I understand it correctly, ad price time is contingent upon eyeball watching time.

Joe Lockhart? Seriously?
Yea, a former Clinton mouthpiece can be counted on not to lie.....and just proves the leftist lean of the whole NFL operation.
How about this.....everyone go thru a McDonalds drive thru and tell them you won’t be placing an order because they sponsor the NFL which dishonors our flag and our country.
Have that happen twenty or thirty thousand times, and they’ll notice.

I am also going into my local Mcdonalds and telling the owner or manager I’m never coming there again..
I am contacting my local radio station and telling them I’m not listening unless they drop the NFL game on Sundays
etc etc

anyone name the sponsors so we’ll know which to boycott?
It wont blow over. This started a year ago. It’s like saying Trumpism is a “fad”.
NFL sponsors offer a target rich environment for a boycott. When I go to the grocery store or to WalMart I read the fine print on the packages. Quaker Oats (part of Pepsico) has lots of products that can be boycotted because they have competitors that do not advertise on NFL games.
Thank goodness, no beer companies so I won’t have to boycott beer:

no talk to the manager and local franchise owner ..not a teen in the drive thru window
I was already boycotting Proctor and Gamble over their incredibly racist ad called The Talk.
In the name of social justice and in support of affirmative action, I am boycotting the NFL till 55% of the players are white, 30% Hispanic, 12% black and 1% native american and 2% asian.
I think they are greatly underestimating the incredible damage the NFL has just done to themselves. Who do they think watches football, wrist flapping Hillary worshiping snowflakes? It’s mostly middle class white males who do, 77% of their audience is made up of that demographic of which 37% is above 55 years old and I think we can fairly guess a lot of them aren’t exactly super fans of radical leftism which means you guys running the NFL just committed professional suicide to the extreme.
