Let’s hope NBC gets labeled as ‘racist’ for not covering protest ... now that would be a bigger win ...

“Stop covering NFL players’ national-anthem protests, or we’ll pull our ads.”

Good start, but NOT enough! Should be “Get those overpaid, spoiled brat/thug NFL players to stop protesting the USA, its police, and its military or we’ll pull our ads.”

If a superbowl happens at the end of the season, will there be anybody left who notices?

The new meme from the idiots as to the cause of the drop in ratings is “media saturation”.

I don’t believe it. The ad buyers are even more leftist than the NFL progressives.

I’m surprised the DOD has not pulled their NFL ads....

Or at least has threatened to pull them...

Going forward, marketers want more of the focus on games and less on the protests.

Of course they do, the cowardly hypocrites!

And as long as they advertise, I'll boycott Pepsi, Papa Johns, Bud, Ford, and all the other brands that support spitting on our anthem, flag, and country.

Probably so, but they are smart enough to understand this is causing them to lose dollars.

I am done w/Fed Ex, Papa Johns, McDonald’s, Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi....companies all I have done business with.

When they leave the NFL, I might go back.

If viewers have to speculate about how many are disrespecting the anthem might make it worse.

It does not matter. I am not watching and I am not coming back to the NFL.

As for sponsors, any that I am aware of I avoid spending my dollars with them if I can.

Papa Johns lost out on five pizzas for our Halloween party. It used to get our business. No longer.

Big Brands want to sweep the protest under the rug.
Won’t work.

It ain’t about covering it, it’s about doing it.

Going forward, military flyovers of MFL games should include a bomb drop.
