When I lived near Redskins territory, you had to inherit season tickets. What a change!

Maybe that’s why some of them want prison reform. Just forward thinking...

NFL Owners Dont Fear Trump, They Fear Their Own Players The President needs to pull their anti-trust exemptions; that will instill fear into them.

If the fans say so, these clowns and idiots will have nothing to fret about. There won't be any NFL. Maybe they can buy an Ultimate Frisbee franchise.

The rules for player behavior during the Anthem are already clearly laid out. The league is too cowardly to stand against the players.
Assign maximum fines and other punishments allowed under current agreement and the players will all fall into line. If they don’t they are in violation of their contract and should be let go, if possible.

OK, they can be who they want to be. So can the fans. They can be former NFL fans. Buh, bye, careers!

"... they are living by the credo set forth by Muhammad Ali, who said, I dont have to be what you want me to be. Yeah right... and if the writers at the Nation or the New York Times decided they 'don't have to be what you want me to be'... they could write proTrump pieces and still get their paychecks, right?
And the guy who fixes broken cars for snowflakes can 'limit' his task to 20 minutes even if the job needs 60 minutes and a snowflake dies, right?
We all make our own rules...
Hey you idiot Dave Zirin what 'rules' don't I have to follow when I'm dealing with YOU?

The NFL should not be afraid of who is President. They should be afraid of losing paying customers (aka fans). Without the Fans the NFL can not exist... Exactly!!

I read Dave Meggyesy’s book several years ago. He was “radicalized” (woke today) in the early 70’s. Big druggie. The only drugs he criticized were steroids.

NFL players also don’t believe that the people who sell hot dogs and beer don’t matter either. They are the ones who suffer from the bogus protest.

“The NFL owners are just biding their time for now. When the CBA expires in 2020, a very clear provision is going to be written into the new agreement that explicitly lays out the rules for player conduct during the national anthem. “
Thats gonna be way way too late.

I am not so sure even that will help. It appears that a lot of (former) fans are never going back.

Maybe but for me I would be a fan again if they fired every one who took a knee, raised a fist or did ANYTHING disrespectful during the playing of our Anthem.
Replace all the fools with players from the practice squad and recruit the hell out of colleges for the next few yrs to replenish the ranks. If they did it I’ll watch them again.
