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.

Remains to be seen, if they will be able to sell any of those multi-mill superbawl ads.
Lockhart is flat out lying. This is the greatest boycott in US history. The sponsors have to be calling non stop.
Oh yeah?
A local large car dealer in Colorado (Phil Long Ford) just dropped Von Miller from being used in its commercials.
Sears didn't care much about customers either. Neither did JC Penney's, Target, Macy's ....
Players have no right to use the NFL events to protest what ever it is that they think they are protesting. In fact League rules prohibit it and demand respect for out precious anthem and flag https://news.grabien.com/story-roger-goodell-ignoring-leagues-own-rule-book-letting-players.
Take any entertainment venue as an example. If you are an actor or entertainer , you have no right to stop your performance and launch into a political protest— NEVER!! That is grounds for firing.
Goodell was a stickler for rules on the inflated ball issue but here he ditches the clearly stated rule. Is he afraid to stand up.
Rush is right. Trump has whipped their ass. America stands with our President . They are all a bunch of SOBs!!
Nothing is going to change as long as the sponsors keep writing checks to the TV Networks.
Looks like the NFL, the TV Networks and their sponsors are going to hunker down and try to ride out this protest. I think the boycott will work but it is going to take awhile.
Me? I don’t care. I’m never watching the NFL again. Now I will start to work on boycotting their sponsors.
Tom Brady said that what President Trump said was “divisive”.
What Tom and his ilk fail to see is that the Kaepernick kneel is what is “divisive”. It is not divisive to stand at attention for the national anthem. It is courtesy and respect for all who have fought to defend that flag. Yes, mostly white folks for sure, but many black folks as well. Thousands and thousands of those folks paid the ultimate price with their lives. Is that “divisive”, Tom?
Forget the country Tom. Look to your own NFL rule book. You taunt another player or show too much celebration , or don’t stand for the anthem you are supposed to be penalized. Which is more “divisive” Tom, “taunting” another player or not taunting? Do you condone ridiculing your teammate for a botched play? No, that is “divisive”. Yet you can not allow your fellow teammates and fans to honor their country by standing for the national anthem. Instead you encourage a minority of your teammates to “taunt” them and their beliefs.
Spoiled rotten hypocrites, all.

That is what they say now on Sept 25th; what will it be on Oct.25th and hey the BIG ONE Veteran’s Day is on a Sunday this year. Come back on November 13th and we will believe you.
These idiots are too busy listening to celebrities and social media and forget who has the real buying power.
I know Leftist arrogance when I see it and the NFL has it in spades. Starve the NFL. Besiege them!
Never believe a rumor until it is officially denied I think Otto VanBismark said
Management says “we’ve spoken to our sponsors and they are not concerned”? What did you expect them to say....”we spoke to our sponsors; they are concerned, but we’ve chosen not to listen”? Plus why should we believe that? Say you are a retailer (like Target for instance) and you have a problem with your stance on a social issue (like say Target has), so you trot out your spokesman and say “we’ve discussed with our employees and stockholders, and they say go for it”. I don’t think so. If you really want to know the extent of the damage, you ask your customers. In the case of Target, it was immediately evident in sales. In the case of the NFL, it was immediately evident in viewer count, regardless of what the Commissioner says.
I have just let every sponsor whose products we purchase or use, know that I am disgusted with this ongoing protest and lack of respect for our flag.
I’m just one person, but more are doing the same. NFL says the sponsors don’t care? Well they will.
