It isn’t just that one guy, it spread to other teams and players like a virus and the longer the NFL ignores the more chance it will be fatal.

on a new England talk radio show today, a guy named chris gasper had the nerve to say that the kneeling for the anthem is not a factor, but the players committing domestic violence is.
they have been going hard at josh brown. every show, tv and radio, its like they were handed a script. maybe they think people will tie it to trump.

*Yawn* unless the author admits that the afro sporting muslim convert benchwarmer is 95% of the reason for the decline, this article is as useless as all of the “GA, AZ and UT lean Clinton” articles..

Goodell resigning would be a good start. The league has gone into the abyss under him

It’s that one guy. Then it’s theNFL not denouncing it. Then it spreads. It will get worse and then the NFL will no longer be an American institution. They’ve got about three week. Each day it gets worse for them

That’s how the flag works. Either you defend it as an American or you don’t as an anti American

People think they can mess with basics of civilization but they can’t

Trump wins election, Goodell begs him to do the coin toss at the Thursday night game after the election.

Somebody gets it ...

I don't think so. Especially when he says...

It is not unreasonable to presume that some percentage of Trump's millions of followers have decided to boycott the NFL on TV. (emphasis mine)

Trump does not have many "followers." These people were already here. They already thought this way. Trump just jumped out front and voiced exactly what these people were already saying and thinking.... only he did it with a YUGE megaphone from a YUGE stage. So "followers"...no...But supporters...ABSOLUTELY!

Hey NFL, you want to permanently solve the problem before the NFL is totally destroyed? This is the answer:

Kick out every disrespectful "Only Black Lives Matter", Anti-American, anti-military, "hate cops", "hate whitie", BLACK-RACIST protesting NFL player, manager, coach and staff member, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, OR THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN and BAN THEM FROM PLAYING THE GAME!

Then, and ONLY THEN will we, your former fans even consider returning to watch the NFL games, purchase your over-priced NFL merchandise and stop boycotting ALL of the NFL's "OBLM" enabling sponsors.

The NFL "Only Black Lives Matter", Anti-American racist leftist PC thugs want to disrespect the nation, its national anthem, its flag and spit on the nation, their fans and what America stands for; then the NFL has permanently lost its fan base and the very people who watch the games, pay their salaries, and purchase things from their sponsors!

The NFL and their "Only Black Lives Matter" racist thugs are in for a rude awakening because the fact of the matter is this:

TO SURVIVE: the NFL NEEDs US; W E D O N' T N E E D Y O U!

The NFL was seeking into being boring before Kaepernick. I believe the league allowed these protests (perhaps even encouraged them) to drum up fake controversy and draw in more of the rubes. It works for so-called reality TV, after all.

Backfired on them big time.

Given the way the networks have covered Trump I am never coming back.

It simply amazes me that people who have been willing to endure relentless commercials as well as other types of social engineering BS from the NFL for years and years suddenly find this one the bridge too far.

For me, getting 120 minutes of some of the most offensive, manipulative advertisements that money could buy - many of which are even further along on the social engineering agenda - is the gamebreaker.

Not some stunt over mindless jingoism in a nation which - in light of Hillary Clinton getting away with her crimes in broad daylight and the end-to-end corruption in its government which the beer swilling NFL watching crowd is too busy to have a problem with.

The NFL has been on my not watch list this year. If they think it is not due to the anthem thing, I can tell them in my case it definitely is. No more NFL...been toying with the idea for a long time and now I enjoy my Sunday afternoons actually doing something.

Goodell is stupid, yes he is...
To blame the decline in numbers on the Presidential Campaign is absurd. It is the antics of the kneelers, the taunters and the taunting antics of the tribal players that has caused the 20% decline in viewers.
I don't care about this because, after all, the NFL is a non-profit entity! LOL!

And all the pink crap. Real men don’t wear pink gloves or shoes. If they want to show support for cancer, let them walk in parades, do the special runs and donate real money to support cancer research.

Somebody gets it ... Just not the people that can fix it.

We now know thanks to WIKILEAKS and others, that the US government lies to us. We know that many of the journalists we frequently see are also cooperating with some of the big lies.

But how BIG is this conspiracy? In this case it simply confirms the presstitutes involved are working to control public opinion. Of course, MOST of the NFL $$ is caused by the BLM BS but it's not PC. So the presstitutes tell the lie that fits with what they want the public to believe.

Lie to Americans? We are even seeing it in Sports.
