Put them out of business for their stupid choices and decisions.

In major sports, the fan is not the customer. The customer is the TV network that pays billions of dollars to broadcast the games, and the giant corporate behemoth that spends $5M+ for a 30-second Super Bowl ad spot.

The fans booed? Well, whoop-di-do!

Idiots. The NFL got your money; that’s the only use they have of you.

Professional football is the circus put on in the vast arenas to distribute wholesale a political message. The players have degenerated into being professional negros, even the whites. They are all black for a living.

Multitudes of gullible jock worshipers have been duped into slavishly gulping the kool ade

Soon business schools will be doing case studies on the most expensive financial disaster ever, the ritual suicide of the NFL.

In the meantime it will be entertaining watching the clowns try and put the toothpaste back in the tube.

There were football games yesterday? Who knew? I was busy rearranging my computer cables.

An interesting hobby, working out or spending time with family is far more rewarding than spending hours watching a stupid game where the millionaire athletes lecture you about fairness.

I noticed on one of their college football broadcasts over the weekend a black announcer approached the topic from the standpoint that “and justice for all” is in the Pledge of Allegiance. He want on say that “this is not just a black issue” and to imply that all lives matter. My takeaway was that the man is a Christian and CBS is backpedaling.

Down 16 percent from last year.

Down how much from 2018, or 2017, etc?

Anyone got a graph handy?

There was nearly a 4 million viewership drop between opening kick-off and third-quarter kick-off in the coveted 18-49 age group.

Either
(a) they were just curious about the opening ceremonies or
(b) they were wearied by the KC blow-out or
(c) they were sick of the running social justice commentary.

Whatever. A 4 million viewership loss in 2 hours is a serious drain.

“The fans booed? Well, whoop-di-do!

Yes, there is that. But understand the whole picture: they only made 16,000 tickets available, and the day of the game, the “scalpers” were selling tickets BELOW FACE VALUE. Now the night of the game, you see that the few people who came to see the game were pissed off at your shenanigans? That would have an impact on me. Not that it will redeem them in my eyes. I’m reclaiming my life for more purposeful pursuits.

I don't have graphs, but I'm actually kind of disappointed. They aren't really going to pay attention to a 16% drop, because they figure they can come back from that. Until enough of the people are pissed enough at them that they see a 60% or more drop, they are going to keep it up.

A 16% drop is far lower than I expected. I'm fairly convinced now that the American people are stupid enough, by and large to not recognize it when they are being called a racist to their face by these 'oppressed' multi-millionaires.

Part of me wants the NFL to go under. The overpaid player/social justice warriors need to just go away
But there are thousands of hard working Americans working at hotels, restaurants and many other places that have jobs from these events.

A six year old is currently praying to God to spare his mother that a BLM tried to murder, and the BLM is outside the hospital screaming for her to die. The NFL fully supports BLM, and if you watch NFL, so do you. You might as well be outside the hospital right now yelling “Death to pigs!”
