The NFL has been fixing games for years.

NFL Players Continue Anthem Protests In Week Six Despite Commissoner Plea

It was a very poor plea (lip syncing) from the WORST commissioner the NFL has ever had. Who would expect the thugs to listen?

That’s probably a picture from the 2015 season which ended with Super Bowl 50, the Golden Anniversary Super Bowl. They changed the shield to gold and black to celebrate it. It has been changed back to red, white and blue.

They look like douchebags.

They have become slaves again and they will always fail to see the total irony of what lives really matter.

Colin (2-14 loser) K only had one play on the field. When it failed, he had nowhere else to go, and he is now unemployed. The #BlackThugsMatter protestors in the NFL are the same. Even though insulting our anthem, insulting us, insulting our country, insulting our flag, insulting our military, and insulting our ancestors is not encouraging us to support whatever cause they are protesting at the moment, they can’t come up with another strategy. Like 2-14 loser Colin, they are failing spectacularly and sticking with their strategy.

When the National Felons League disappears, I will celebrate.

Something I have never understood. If you aren’t black, why would you even care to watch NFL football?

I was chatting about this with another FReeper the other day. We both agreed that not only had we stopped watching the NFL, we'd stopped thinking about it.

My (former) team, the Panthers, played on Thursday. I had no idea, until someone asked me over the weekend if they'd won. Two years ago, the thought of missing a game would have been utterly alien to me. Last year I might have seen it, or not, but I certainly would have checked the score.

This year, nada, and that bodes much worse for the NFL. A "Boycott" implies that I'm missing the games intentionally, and that I may return once they correct their poor behavior. Where I am is "Complete Indifference", which is much, much worse from their PoV.

I've not watched any NFL football this season, and am amazed at not only the amount of things I've accomplished on the weekends, but also how little I miss it.

“How Marxism Fueled The National Anthem Protests At Football Games”

http://thefederalist.com/2017/10/16/marxism-fueled-national-anthem-protests-football-games/

Excerpt:
Marxism, in contrast, blames our ills on fellow man, fundamentally pitting man against man, so hatred isn’t cast upon Satan, but upon our fellow human beings.

Kaepernick and most of his supporters may not realize it, but the real origins of their ideas lie in a nineteenth-century German thinker who interpreted the world as a struggle between oppressors and oppressed.

I think this is all about black guilt. These guys realize that their life’s work is really meaningless,they are not worth what they are paid and it is just a game. They want to do something that appears important, intellectual and well thought out; hence, the kneel down. If you ask them what they are doing, the truth comes out. They don’t have a clue.

The NFL is discovering that upwards of 20% of its fan base has left, and it wonders if it can ever get them back.

They won't need to wonder long, because a great many won't come back.

Forget the constant face-slapping fans get from the gaggle of millionaire "resist" ingrates, many have gotten rid of cable vision and NFL packages altogether.

A trend that's likely to continue.

Good luck with any contract negotiations players, as the market will be softening...
