The Fans and what they can do never entered Kapernick’s mind

Personally, I’m not watching another NFL game until they get rid of Kaepernick.

I don’t bother watching.

If they want to make a statement, they can do it on their own time.

When they are on the clock, I want to be entertained...

Of course not. CNBC of all people was discussing it today. Their take - “over-exposure”. That’s the ticket.

It should be at least -50% by now.

The continued loss of viewership will hurt the NFL where it counts: ad revenue. Not this year, but next year. The NFL front office should make a public declaration stating players ‘protesting’ will be fined the equivalent of a week’s pay, the team $50K, and the player will sit on the bench the next week, again losing a week’s pay. You can protest, but it will cost you. Ask the Dixie B*tches about that one.

Of course it doesn’t.
Nothing to do with anti-American athletes.

I don’t understand why the NFL can’t/won’t add a policy that all players will stand and respect the flag. Every employer set policies on behavior, demeanor, dress, etc., of employees. Free speech is supposed to be the issue. In my various workplaces over the years, there have been stipulations concerning politicking during work hours. NFL players are employees and their owners have a right to dictate the rules.

The NFL PTB are pussies.

I WANT the drop in ratings to make them change for the better.

The league head and owners have become quite despicable but a lot of money goes towards children’s illnesses and the military.

And the average crime rate among football players is lower than the general population.

Let’s SQUEEZE them into CHANGING.

not take glee that it was torn apart for good.

I will watch my Jets lose badly to Pittsburgh Sunday, making them 1 and 4 and ending my season anyway/

Some numbers from a Forbes article. A 20% percent drop in viewers means, NFL would be obligated to give 20% free commercial time.

Commercials are roughly 600K for a 30 second spot. If an advertiser bought 100 thirty-second spots, they would get 20 free commercial spots - 20 x 600K = $ 24 million the NFL would lose in just ONE market city.

The NFL is a league of dog killers, wife beaters and cop haters.

BOYCOTT - and tell a friend.

And to make it worse, advertising revenues are use almost exclusively for player salaries. So next year, there won’t be as much money for salaries, but, big name players will still have their contracts, so new players coming on board will have even lower salaries

Cut them back to minimum wage so they can better identify with the “oppressed” ( sic). Better yet, fire the offenders — there are plenty of good ball players who’d love to play instead
