Trump suggested that stadiums are “losing” fans amid the controversy. “The stadiums are losing—there are a lot of empty seats, I couldn’t even believe it,” Trump said.

Not only are they losing fans, they are losing games.

Of the 12 games in Week 3 where a team that stood for the anthem played against a team that knelt, 11 were won by the team that stood.

Standers - 11
Kneelers - 1

That is a statistic the owners can understand.

It's even worse than that. After the Steelers refused to come out of the locker room for the national anthem, they went out onto the field and lost to a Chicago Bears team that most people regard as one of the worst in the NFL.

These fans have surely figured out that these jackass players and their jackass coaches have spent more time preparing for their childish temper tantrums than they've spent preparing for the actual game.
