Think it’s done enough damage yet. Most of these followers are under age.
But the NFL can stop it, they just don’t have the guts to do it. The following is a part of the NFL player’s contracts:
PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY
League Policies for Players
2016
It is a privilege to be part of the National Football League. Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in” the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business. Conduct by anyone in the league that is illegal, violent, dangerous, or irresponsible puts innocent victims at risk, damages the reputation of others in the game, and undercuts public respect and support for the NFL. We must endeavor at all times to be people of high character; we must show respect for others inside and outside our workplace; and we must strive to conduct ourselves in ways that favorably reflect on ourselves, our teams, the communities we represent, and the NFL. To this end, the league has increased education regarding respect and appropriate behavior, has provided resources for all employees to assist them in conforming their behavior to the standards expected of them, and has made clear that the league’s goal is to prevent violations of the Personal Conduct Policy. In order to uphold our high standards, when violations of this Personal Conduct Policy do occur, appropriate disciplinary action must follow. This Personal Conduct Policy is issued pursuant to the Commissioner’s authority under the Constitution and Bylaws, Collective Bargaining Agreement and NFL Player Contract to address and sanction conduct detrimental to the league and professional football. It applies to players under contract; all rookie players selected in the NFL college draft and all undrafted rookie players, unsigned veterans who were under contract in the prior League Year; and other prospective players once they commence negotiations with a club concerning employment.
BTW, In my mind Marshawn Lynch was not rostered to be a player to deal with. He is being treated like the aging Babe Ruth because he can put butts in the seats from his career stats. He retired because he was beat up, and was not the same as he had been a couple of years before he walked. And he’s another one that has ignored his contract requirements because he didn’t care as the fine was chump change. But when the bounty went up, he showed up and made a mockery of it. And the league let him get away with it, for years.

It’s not just that, but continually having idiots like Ezekiel Elliot represent the league, just makes it something I no longer care to be a part of.
