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..
The game was played in NY and those seats were filled by season ticket holders who have prepaid. There are no refunds plus the Jets were playing the Pats and the teams were tied for 1st place.
Pat’s will always be a big draw. While they are hated by so many, like the NY Yankees are, fans nonetheless turn out even if is in the hope they can see them lose
I have also been following rather closely. The 30% seems to me to be an outlier. I’ve consistently seen 17-19%. Plus, I think if there were movement away from the boycott, the media would have ballyhooed it.
For your information, the second team is always the home team, and that’s for all sports.
Thus, if it’s the New England Patriots vs. the New York Jets, then the Jets are the home team.
Yesterday I was curious of the stands too, and took a brief look at the Miami Dolphins vs. the Atlanta Falcons being played in Atlanta. The stands were noticeably empty when the camera occasionally went up in it. I would say it appeared 1/4th to as much as possibly 1/3 was missing. Anyway, I looked for about 10 minutes and then turned it off. Anyway, that was my football for the entire weekend.
Last week to substitute for it I watched 2 college football games on Saturday. This is because since I was about 5 years old I’ve always had football on Sundays and holidays. Not anymore...
Anyway this weekend was 10 minutes total for the entire Weekend and I was fine. I think next week and going forward will be zero. Not that hard to break.
The only way I would ever consider watching the NFL again is if the NFL fires the Commissionaire, the players that protested every week, heavily fine and kick out players that do this, apologize to all the fans and the country,
never charge the military to come to the games to present the colors, fly overs, etc...(yeah they do), take politics out of the sport, and then maybe I might watch again? At minimum I might watch it next year or in 5 or 10 years? Done with it this year.
They were playing in New Jersey! The Jets. That should explain it!
The Patriots played the Jets yesterday in New Jersey. I believe the Jets have had nobody kneeling during the national anthem all season. The owner of the team is Robert Wood Johnson — who is currently serving as the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain.
I think autocorrect may have made a blunder today on a local Knoxville station. The story was about Kaepernick. The banner at the bottom said, “Pumpernickel Files Grievance”.
I don’t know about you, but I am seeing a lot of empty seats.
Looks like the boycott is working.
Keep in mind many in the Seats are season ticket holders.
