Given these latest developments—namely, NFL owners and management rediscovering their testicles as a result of the financial "incentives" provided by the fans—I have to express my conviction that rumors of the NFL's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

If the situation had stayed the same, I have no doubt there would have been severe repercussions, but I am convinced that many fans will adopt a more forgiving attitude, now that the league has seen the error of its ways in indulging these spoiled millionaire players' temper tantrums.

After all, I seriously doubt that any NFL fans—current or former—really want to see the Left win by destroying the NFL.

So let the chips fall where they may, but I say again that the NFL isn't likely to just dry up and blow away like some here are smugly predicting.

Americans are a forgiving lot, and any contrition that is expressed will likely go a long way towards preserving the league for a few more years yet...

I hope what you say does not come true.

Liberals already destroyed the NFL and the player’s union.

Look up a recent Rush thread and read what’s been donated to liberal far left causes for years.

It ain't over till DJT the POTUS says it's over. So, if they want it to be over, they better find a proxy (a minority, or several, preferably players and even better Kaepernick) to go see the big boy up in the White House. Else it's going to be a long fall and winter.

The NFL is the left.   (Do you think anti-Trumpers and anti-American flag/National Anthem despisers like the NFL players, coaches, and owners have proven themselves to be, are conservatives?)

Realistically the NFL will not be destroyed this year.

It will slowly bleed out over the next few years—its leftist corpse stinking up the landscape.

While the tip of the spear of the problem are some racist black players, it is the limp-wristed owners that have sealed their fate.

I work in an airport and see the traveling public every day.

It was quite common to see people sporting their favorite NFL team colors and jerseys as they travel.

That has changed. You see very few NFL jerseys now; and I live in Pittsburgh!
