That adds up and there is no $5.00 parking at an NFL stadium.

I’ve never seen so many 50s & 60s western series since we cut our cable ~2 years ago.

What NFL team is made up of felons?

Can you name felons, that’s more than one felon, who are playing in the NFL?


How about felons-in-all-but-name - criminals who, without NFL fixers armed with payoff budgets for victims who then decline to file charges, would be spending serious time on felony charges as guests of the governor of whatever state they’re in? The average paper isn’t going to compile a list of criminals in the NFL, because fans love them to death.

The average time between arrests is just seven days, while the record without an arrest is slightly more than two months, at 65 days, according to NFLarrest.com, which “provides an interactive visualized database of National Football League player Arrests & Charges,” the site says.

Players get arrested for a variety of crimes: drunk driving, drug offenses, domestic violence, assault and battery, gun violations, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, theft, burglary, rape and even murder.
(Unquote)

The above obviously doesn’t count all the mulligans players get because cops are football fans, too, and a season ticket or front row seats can make a lot of things go away.

Then there’s the criminals who, after exiting the NFL and losing the battery of NFL fixers, run into serious trouble:

To be a felon, one must be convicted of a felony.

Who are the felons in the NFL?

Yes but,,,,,, also minus the sales of the over priced merchandise, snacks and beer. The parking attendants are next in the hit line the the local hotels, restaurants, and bars. I would imagine that Super bowl betting will be a little down as well. So much for future over paid contracts with the players.
Good Luck NFL.

A fan lost forever.

(PS) Next time do your own protesting off the field and out of uniform and in the mean time VOLUNTEER your time making the community a better place.

I doubt that degenerate gamblers give a damn about the protests.

i spent over 2k on 4 tickets and 180 on a parking spot...that was before all the monkey shines and disrespect. those same tickets were worth about $100 total by the time of the November game.

Never again. And my husband WAS a HUGE steelers fan.

I live near Baltimore. Ravens are like the official religion. But I’ve seen far fewer people wearing Ravens jerseys. Last year, on game days, at least 10-15% wore Ravens shirts to our church. This year I’ve seen one shirt all season.

No one in my family are fans nor have gear. Until this year we were strong minorities.

No felons, in the sense of convicted criminals, but plenty of thugs who skate on criminal charges. But it's not called the NTL, is it?

Don’t even bother; JD is probably one of those fans who could watch his sports hero rape and murder his wife and kids both, and still worship the ground the his SPORTS HERO walks on.
I have known so many like that, that I really begin to wonder about the true intelligence of some so called human beings.

I'm not particularly surprised. JD's a liberal who joined FR in mid-November this year and started mocking conservatives. I have to think he's an independent thinker whose views happen to line up solidly with every Democratic plank at their party conventions.

With a No show, people pay for the tickets, the team gets their money, but the ticket buyer does not show-up at the game.

A no-show doesn't buy anything..no $50.00 parking, no $6.00 hot dog, $9.00 beers, no $5.00 pretzel..Teams take a big hit with no-shows.

I left in 1990. By then Baltimore was a maddening liberal shell of its once proud self. It was once a sweet and loving place where harmony reigned. Today it is a cesspool of corruption and Marxist hegemony. Today there are a few brave souls working outside the systems to save the city even as it disintegrates.

Add it up and take it out of the pay of each player and with each kneeling instance counting as a full cost-loss instance.

Perhaps, but there are NFL teams that have thousands upon thousands of people on the waiting list for season tickets.

True, but I've seen waiting lists of 10s of thousands go away as quickly as 2 years. Face it, the NFL cooked its goose with Goodell at the helm..and then they re-signed him...lmao
