President Trump - “If the NFL doesn’t change, their business will go to Hell”.

Guess he was right again.

It’s going to take a sustained effort. Boycotts usually fail.

...amid festering controversy over the national anthem.

The controversy is not over The National Anthem. It's over the protesting of The National Anthem.

Gad, but I hate CBS.

A new poll by CBS News found that Americans are unhappy with both the protests during the anthem and President Trump's comments on the issue.

FAKE NEWS!

The NFL team I was a fan of for 35+ years had a couple people take a knee. If they first decided to stop being stupid and stand for the anthem then change the team name to something else (the team name has been permanently disrespected) then blow up the stadium (the stadium has been permanently tarnished) and rebuild it somewhere else in the city then I will go to a game.

Most Americans say that the players' intention is to try to call attention to racism. However, Republicans also feel the players are trying to disrespect the flag and the military

They are trying to call attention to racism by disrespecting the flag and military.

That's the problem.

There should be a class action against the NFL for violating their own rules, written code of conduct that the fans count on when attending or watching an NFL game.
The NFL is cheating the fans of the experience they paid for in attending or watching games. I bet if they has 50 million plaintiff’s in this class action lawsuit they might break the NFL.

Where are the good Class Action attorneys.
Where are the ANTI-TRUST attorneys?

Sadly, it will all blow over in a week or less. Football is an addiction in this country. Just like the people who defended Tiger Woods and badmouthed his wife for his transgressions, somehow it will all turn around and people will slowly start defending those who disrespect the flag, just so they can get back to watching football.

Good. Hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook. That is the only thing they pay attention to.

Gee, if we only understood that the protests were about racism, that makes all the difference in the world!

I guess we just too ignorant to understand the true motives of the noble kneeler's.

Millionaire football players taking income away from all the regular people who work in the industry, in the name of “equality”.

That’s messed up.
