Black Lives Matter and other domestic terrorist groups, funded by George Soros, continue to use the NFL as their playground to sow propaganda and division.

The ratings from yesterday should come out later today.

The last tabulation I read was that ratings are down overall 18% from 2015 - the year before the protests began.

Remember: the entire "police brutality" narrative is based on lies and twisted facts.

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

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

It takes awhile for such a huge ship to turn. So, it may be next season when we see what happens with ticket sales and advertiser rates, etc. if these revenue streams are down significantly then eventually it will be reflected in reduced player contracts. That’s when the light bulb will come on for the idiots. Maybe, sarc/

NFL will not ever fully recover. Even if they stopped disrespecting our nation, our flag, and our anthem, they won’t ever be able to erase that they don’t like America.

Nothing at all is preventing them from leaving.

Too bad a great business model has been minimized via sedition. Seems owners would take quick action.. but media created a distorted view for them to use in making decisions. They’re a major part of the problem of course.

I was at an AHL hockey game yesterday and a friend asked if I knew what the Steelers game was.

I explained that I quit watching the NFL. As a veteran I support anyone’s use of their First Amendment rights.

And as a veteran I am deeply offended by their protest and will use my First Amendment rights to protest this despicable attack on the American Anthem and flag.

I will not watch any NFL games this year - possibly ever again.

I further told him that as far as I’m concerned, the NFL can go to Hell! His wife was listening to me rant and at the end she smiled and said, “Amen to that!”

The protest has no basis.

People made rich by world standards via our social welfare system are not oppressed.

Police shootings are 2x more likely against minorities but minorities are 50x more likely to engage in crime while armed with a gun.

At the rate the anti-American NFL is going, they’ll have to scrape the barrel to come up with SUPER BOWL RINGS.

The NFL Kneelers are kneeling in subservience to their liberal masters. Let them kneel. I’m not watching.

WE are being SO played.

Like Mandolay Bay is fading, so too is NFL dissatisfaction.

Only a week ago I saw the numbers in the thirties regarding the percentage of disgruntled NFL fans.

Now, unless it is ALL disinformation, we're in the teens.

While surfing TV yesterday, I came across a patriots game and the first thing my eyes saw was the stands ... they appeared full.

I stayed long enough to observe, I had no idea where the game was being played because the logo in the center of the feild said NFL, not whatever home team was hosting the game .... and again, the stands were full.

I continued surfing until I found a movie that interested me.

So this morning I read fan base is down to the upper teens.


I don't know WHAT to think except Mandolay Bay is fading into the distance, the NFL is very pro-active in trying to recover and my local public high school treats the pledge of allegiance to the flag as an elective.

My little redneck high school has been churning out Colin Kapernicks for the last five (that I KNOW of) years and the school board will do nothing about it..

I can’t recall even one of my bosses ever “pleaing” with me to do anything.

-————Remove the “National” from NFL, just call them “FL.”

... perhaps these professional athletic teams should remove the N from the NFL and just be “FL” -— thus removing their obligation to observe our patriotism. They can’t have it both ways, it’s one or the other.

However, I won’t be watching any overpaid professional sports. I prefer to go out and cheer for hero’s who are busy saving lives everyday — and they comparably are grossly underpaid. Why do we pay athletes and actors million dollar salaries but only pay a first responder, who’s performing CPR on someone’s chest and is saving another humans life, a meager salary?

It just might be that the fan base is wondering how the NFL is racist, when a majority of the players are black and most are paid millions of dollars a year.

Perhaps they should go "back to the future" and set up an all-black league.

If they hate the USA so much they should pack up and move to North Korea or Cuba and play pro sports over there. In a matter of weeks they’d be on their knees there too, only this time begging to come back here.

The NFL hasn't lost all the fans that will eventually go. They will have to make honoring the anthem an iron-clad deal before I will ever consider giving them my attention again.

It's not even what can be considered a sacrifice like giving up sweets for Lent used to be....

Look at the NFL Logo.

Red letters instead of red stripes. White stars on a field of blue.

The logo intentionally borrows elements from the US Flag. The league has exploited patriotism in order to sell tickets since the beginning.

Now it is revealed that this has all been a lie. That a large number of their players hate the Flag of the United States, and the majority of their owners do not care to defend it.

They will never be able to exploit patriotism again.

Frankly, they should change their logo to something like the Major League Baseball, though they might do well to avoid the red white and blue color scheme.

A million kids do out there who would love a spot on the team. Dump the ones who endanger the sport. After the first couple are fired the rest will stand and if they don’t, hire a new team. The fans don’t care they just want to watch the game.

These self important little whiners think the world revolves around them. Their weak leadership gave them that impression. Just play the game or get off the field

I heard this morning that Kaepernick had filed a grievance with the NFL Player Association against all 32 owners for colluding to keep him out of the league.

Real smart move in a week where the Packers will be looking for a QB.

Mark 3:25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

Luke 11:17 But He knew their thoughts, and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.

Either, the above is true, or God is a liar. Get the popcorn and watch what happens next.

"Who cares." <> The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.

The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Romance Empire.

Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.' <> Percy Bysshe Shelley

This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!

ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!

They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.

This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.

The nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an incurable case of self induced financial ebola and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a week with no way out and no end in sight.

The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl and is quickly becoming worthless.

We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the racist, socialist, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
