means little...the cascading boos that reigned down from the fans last week has scared the crap out of the owners...

there was not a peep when players knelt during the 2016 season but that all changed last week- further proof Trump’s comments were a stroke of genius and hit the right chord- he basically told everyone its okay to disagree with these d-bags, its okay to boo, its okay to boycott...

the NFL made the mistake of drawing a battle line Saturday night between their product and the consumer...

for the sake of transparency i will tell you i am in the football scouting business...

Any insight into how they could have misjudged the situation this badly?

yes but i don’t know of a single Jets player that has knelt during the anthem since this BS started....

i do know several people who walked away from their PSL’s and just said “F it”...the issue is not so much the team but that stadium, metlife, its an effing disaster...

no clue other than 1) there was little pushback from the fans when this BS went down in 2016 2)they are HUGE into social media and everything was trending “take a knee” on twitter, etc...

it was an unbelievable miscalculation from a league that would not allow the Dallas Cowboys to wear a decal honoring the five officers assassinated at the BLM march last year...

they are panicked as they understand there is no easy way out...my opinion is they hope the players stand and it goes away...

Those dark spots on the ceiling are the fire sprinkler system. It doesn’t take a lot of heat to trip one.

If the league doesn’t grow a pair and punish the kneelers, I would not care if the entire organization went bankrupt.

My gosh are they that afraid of the race exploit industry like the Al Sharptons and the Jesse Jacksons? Its their business and rules, which they do have for the national anthem and such.

It's very sad if they are afraid of enforcing their own rules because of tyrants like the race exploit industry. The NFL owners have gone completely ball-less. We desperately need an anti-political correctness movement in this country. Maybe all this will spark that.

Keep in mind that the Jets are owned by Robert Wood Johnson IV, who serves as the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain and lives right across the road from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. I think the team would go to great lengths to avoid putting him in a difficult position.

The National Football League is feeling the impact of the “Trump Effect.”

More like the NFL is feeling the "oops we moved two teams to a city that doesn't care about NFL football" effect. TV ratings are where they are getting the "Trump Effect".

This is great. Hitting them where i hurts the most, in their pocket book.

I will be more excited when it climbs toward 30 or even 50%. They will be squealing like pigs stuck under a gate

The owners, League, Networks and such losing money? I think that this madness is about over.

There's a price to pay for 'playing the race card' now that didn't exist last year... a culture shift is happening. Thanks for the insights. I suspect you're right on every count.

Watched the crowd and reaction tonight.
Stadium looked filled, fans normal.

The one thing I didn’t see was the fans locking arms as Rodgers wanted.
Then I shut the game off.

The stadium is packed, as usual. I think you are blind. They have had sell outs for decades - tonight is no different.
