Not only is it the snowflake flagburning leftie babykilling football players disrespecting OUR flag, but the NFL front office REFUSED to allow the Dallas Cowboys request to put a patch on respecting the Police slaughtered by that Democrat Activist in Dallas in July, 2016.

I told my wife Wednesday night that would be the case. Half of Texas and the entire state of Florida had better things to do than watch that game. America’s most hated team against another team.

“That’s down nearly 12% from the 16.5 posted by the Denver Broncos-Carolina Panthers season kickoff from a year ago.”

Watching the NFL here is down 100 percent from two years ago.

There are priorities here on the place. Changing the air in the wheelbarrow tire, for example.

You mean the imploring for funds to save women’s lives that get redirected to snuffing babies and the DNC

Time for a tranny quarterback in the league. That’ll increase the ratings!

Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien... his daughter, actually... if she went female-to-male, and could take the hits, that could possibly work...

Well Sunday should be a good barometer then for the forthcoming season.

It definitely should be. I don't necessarily want the NFL to fail, but I do want them to be scared silly and to learn that fans don't tune in to see demonstrations of their political and social views.

Cut the crap or watch their luxurious lifestyles deteriorate rapidly.

“Patriots blew it but our team does not “sit” or knee.
The whole pregame show honors the Military as always.”

Doesn’t the military pay a bunch of money to the NFL for that “privilege”?

Probably had some impact, but I saw another article that gave ratings for several cities far from Texas and Florida and all of those ratings were down. Sunday will be a good indicator.

Starting my second year of boycotting. support Michael brown and hands up don’t shoot, disrespect my values when i have war dead in my family and fiends, making million a month and not being thankful, uh I don’t think so. Bye-bye. Let me know of they pass a league riles to stand and fine those who don’t otherwise, I’m streaming.

My step son came last to the game, age 15. He is a great masthead and loves the stat of spots. Fantasy team. Dropped it last season, now european soccer and TJ in the mexican league whom he thinks will encompass San Diego in their fan base. P_lenty off options if you get tired of being disrespected by spoiled angry millionaires.

Agreed.

If there is national anthem disrespect on Sunday, the real impact will be week 2. That's when I expect the most dramatic drop off in viewership.

He has to wear a rainbow colored dress on the field.

Liberalism only cares about liberalism. You might be looking at the situation through a thoughtful, sane worldview.

“...Just watch the Packer game at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field.
Packers don’t sit down!...”

Neither do the Cowboys.
