If anything is fragile, its the NFL which is continuing to lose viewers and fans.

[Jay Redhawk]

I wonder how season ticket sales are going around the league? Hopefully not well because the NFL can go to hell!

Weren’t the Flyers the bad boys of NHL Hockey for decades?

According to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo

...who is a former Giants reporter out of North Jersey, and of course wouldn't spread #FakeNews about the Iggles. Can someon corroborate this news?

As I wrote elsewhere, football is a GAME...it's not the Salk vaccine nor is it it saving souls. Sure, you get some life lessons and see the feats God's Creation can perform for our enjoyment.

However, perspective is needed....the good people working carnivals understand their job...athletes increasingly lose sight of the fact that they are ENTERTAINMENT.

This Eagles fan will take Trump making an example of the Eagles plus tax cuts plus CNN ratings disaster plus Gorsuch plus a strong economy plus NK on its heels plus lots of other MAGA - not to mention the avoidance of THIS...

...over bread and circuses any time.

This attempt at an insult by the mayor is so gay.

[Mr. K]

The Eagles showed low-class for being “poor winners”

They wanted to use a gracious and traditional invitation to The White House to insult the President.

I am glad he told them to forget it.

If this man knew the first thing about the history of the City of which he is the latest in a line of wastrel Democrat mayors, he would know that at 5th and Chestnut Streets, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin, as he emerged from the Constitutional Convention, "Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" To which he replied,

"A republic, ma'am, if you can keep it."

So now, instead of a rule by elites by monarchy, we have the rule by elites by oligarchy.

The communistic use of the phrase "our democracy" has been promulgated through the sorosmedia and is pounded into listeners' heads multiple times a day. But we are a Constitutional republic. We have representative democracy, not popular democracy. We have an Electoral College, not mob rule. This was the Founders' intent. Let's try to keep it.

I hear the mayor is a pedophile. Might be a rumor.

[I want the USA back]

Guess they want him to honor America haters, like they do.

[Saltmeat]

Hey, mayor, PDT is packing a pair the size of baseballs and as hard as diamonds. You and and the Eagles are each packing a pair of minature marsmelows.

[Jack Hammer]

This Bonehead felt he just had to say something, anything, in defense of the Philadelphia Kneelers.

WAY TO GO PRESIDENT TRUMP!!

The Trumpster always gets it right, and in this case...…
after scoring …. President Trump just Spiked the ball into
the entire NFL!

WELL DONE PRESIDENT TRUMP!
I support you 100%

The NFL is a bunch of Queens!

[Saltmeat]

Can someone please post the mailing address of the Eagles? I would like to send them some bulletin board material, and would encourage millions of others to do likewise. Something on the order of you Eagles and the entire NFL can kiss my arse.

[knighthawk]

I did see a President who walked up a line of police officers to shake their hands. A president who honored veterans and active military and stood up for them. A President that lifted the moral of our troops and gave them Mattis and the money to fight enemies of freedom and does not interfere them doing their duty like the previous one did.

Then I see a bunch of rich guys who snub the anthem and hate the police.

Now who I should support?

Yeah sod off NFL!!!

[fruser1]

“a “fragile egomaniac,” and accused him of not being a “true patriot.””

Funny how the left constantly projects their own character defects on others.

The mayor’s statement ACTUALLY applies to the players refusing to stand. All Trump did was refuse to accept their childish nonsense like any good parent would.

[Deplorable American1776]

DeplorableAmerican to Philadelphia’s mayor: You are a F**king Moronic Idiotic Blowhard...and I’m being nice...

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

All the Eagles players said they were not going. All Trump did was co-opt them, since nobody was going to the White House anyway.

[Antoninus]

Says the mayor with the IQ of a blocking dummy.

The NFL is in serious trouble more serious than most know. They are losing money faster than government run agency.

To give you an idea of just how bad it is I recently told the Browns to take their Season Tickets I've bought since the late 80s and shove them. Now some of you may chuckle because it is the browns BUT these seats are in the Dawg Pound (endzone) row two on the Browns side of the field. we have many pics over the years of my family slapping high fives with the players because they always run up to that spot and do so. 4 seats in the Pound and we would legally sell them many times on the NFL's resale sight many times for over double what we paid usualy 3 times the value or more.

But over the years I had grown tired of the BS in the legue. Players breaking the law some getting away with murder and rape etc. So each year we would talk about getting rid of the tickets but then we realized we were making a profit. I watched football less and less and then the kneeling crap came about. The tickets all of the sudden were hard to sell. in fact two sets went unsold last year AFTER the NFL dropped the minimum you could sell them for to 10 bucks. (Before you had to sell them for face value. at least)

We decided to stop messing with them and notified the Browns Ticket office we would not being renewing and please send us our cash from the previous years sales. (you could let the money ride in your account from sany sales and use it to buy the next years tickets) The guy on the phone said someone would call and set up the refund.

we got the call and long story short this guy wanted to know why, said he was tasked with finding out why so many long time season ticket holders were no longer buying tickets. So I told him how the legue allowed players to repeatedly get away with murder (Browns DOnte Stalworth DUI, killed a man got 30 days in jail. Ray lewis etc. Ben Roethlisberger got away with rape. Jim Brown and many other players are wife beaters yet they get to play still or in Brown's Case he is hired as a spokeman for the Browns and the NFL) I told him all this and told him the kneeling was the final straw. They guy begged me to not turn my tickets back in then asked me if anyone aroun would be interested in them.

Now here is the interesting part... months later the NFL makes the announcement about not allowing kneeling and I got a call within 60 minutes of it hitting Facebook from the same guy begging me not to turn in my tickets. He wants to know if I want my same tickets back. I asked him why he had not sold them and he claimed the front office told them to hold all non-renewed season tickets and give people anothe chance. I laughed and called BULLSHIT. ANd he didn't argue. Bottom line the Browns could not sell season tickets in the pound row two. in those many weeks since I notified them I was not renewing.

The NFL is in trouble, Ive read that tickets sales are down over 30% across the league. AI say they can all kiss my ass! I am done with sports especially the NFL.
