if you don't think the nfl is dying, here's Sunday's atlanta falcoons:

I’d like the time stamp on that photo to get context.
Way too many teams, rules which prevent any defense, political correctness, and lack of any fan favorite players.
Looks like 13:49 in 3rd quarter and a 13-10 game.
I have vowed not to watch a NFL game until Goodell is gone.
My condition is non-negotiable.
Their move.
Oh, I see in the pic it’s the beginning of the 2nd half. I’m sure everyone is headed back to their seats.
But yes, there are less at the game for crappy teams. I predict the next Titans game vs Texans in Nashville will be full.
Dance routines aren’t cutting it.
The question is who wants to spend $500-1,000 to take a family of four to a game where your team is lousy and you know 90% of the front office and players hate your guts.
I rarely watch the NFL, College ball is so much more fun, the coaching more creative, the crowd is enthusiastic but much more positive, the teams want to win, in the NFL the teams are worrying about losing, college ball has more risk-taking, better circuses, more joy in the game, and a much longer history.
Time-stamp? The scoreboard clock shows it’s a minute into the second half
In past years, there have been excuses for late November and December attendance dropping, such as :
teams are out of playoff contention
people are traveling for the holidays
people are out Christmas shopping and not going to games
bad weather this time of year holds down attendance
Maximum temperature yesterday: 57 °F (at 2:53 pm)
Minimum temperature yesterday: 47 °F (at 8:53 am)
Average temperature yesterday: 52 °F
Good
I will not watch NFL
Will not give them a second of my time nor one penny of financial support. They are not allowed in my living room nor in my house. I do not discuss them
The. One thing I do tune into is this. Their demise
They -the nfl execs- allow disrespect for our flag - which most certainly does not represent police brutality, le racism nor any kind of racism, they are done. My family is not allowed to bring them into my home via tv
Reasons for poor attendance off of the top of my head without giving it a lot of thought:
01. ) Ungrateful A-Holes kneeling during the anthem.
02. ) Over-officious penalties.
03. ) Rules Committees make new rules but are never called on the field, i.e., pass-interference challenges as just one example.
04. ) Touchdown celebrations which make the players look like a bunch of fags. I often wonder if they realize that they look like a bunch of fags during the gay parade in San Francisco!
04a. ) Celebrations after almost every play. A team can be down by 30 points and finally that team player makes a good play then celebrates as if they are ahead by 30 points.
05. ) The NFL asking fans to make contributions to the latest ( foundation or new disease ). How many of their billions have they donated to these new ‘things’?
06. ) My Cleats, My Cause: So, NFL.....YOU want US to buy YOUR cleats so that YOU can donate OUR money to YOUR latest Negro Foundation? How many of the millions of dollars of these millionaires have THEY donated to THEIR cause?
/End of rant
#4 It is amazing how you deduced that....

In that photo right in there, can’t miss : )
I'll bet the game was nearly sold out, and the empty seats are because people are still in the restroom lines. Either that or fans are staying away until the NFL brings back Colin K because they miss his focus on the reason we watch sports.
