On several occasions, a black person committed a crime, a police officer tried to arrest him, the suspect resisted arrest, and the officer was forced to kill him. This suggests to me that I should not break the law and not resist arrest. The woke crowd concludes that the police are murdering black people. We appear to be, but are not, content with this situation, so the woke crowd believes we are racist.
The woke crowd is putting pressure on us to believe we are a racist country. From 2016 to 2019, a few NFL players took a knee during the Star-Spangled Banner to say this country is racist. The pressure became so intense that the NFL now accommodates them. This year, the Black National Anthem is played before games. Most players either kneel or stay in the locker room during the real National Anthem. These players must believe that this country is racist. Since we are citizens, they must believe we are racist.
Almost all of them are millionaires. They worked hard at their profession and rose to the top. They are a typical American success story. They now get money and fame. We enjoy watching them play and contributing to their wealth. They should be grateful that they live in this country.
Instead of gratitude, the players are using their fame to call attention to their low opinion of the fans, their customers. The natural fan response is to boycott the games. Since the first kneeling by Colin Kaepernick in 2016, attendance and television ratings have gone down. In our first COVID-19 season, there are virtually no fans at the stadium. This decline will affect income.
The players will find that there is not enough money to support their large salaries.

Just wait until the next vote for stadium money. The NFL exists because of taxpayer handouts.
Bankrupt the bastards.
Right now it hurts the owners and advertisers, and contracts of players are unaffected.
For now.
Economics 101.
I doubt it hurts the advertisers. They just walk away and find another avenue to reach their customers.
I’m a baseball fan. Unfortunately MLB has fallen in-line, lock step with the NFL. I won’t watch the games. Serves them right. Let them all
Go bankrupt
Ditch wussy American football and check out Australian Rugby League (going by the name National Rugby League) . You’ll never go back! You can watch match replays for free on nrl dot com.
Those days are gone.
Ad revenue is the big support... tv stations and cable stations still reach potential viewers, but the argument will get more difficult to make as numbers decrease.
Look for more ownership from minorities soon as white owners look to sell quickly
Mostly true. TV networks with the contract deal....are royally screwed. Players still get their contract pay. The owners are probably getting nickels and dimes instead of dollars.
All of this would continue as long as the current contract exists. Once the new chatter starts up for the next contract...the whole game will flip and players are then hurt....especially retired players.
I think right now...if you were to re-start Roller Derby and put on opposing the NFL games...it might take off and get more public viewing.
The NFL can vanish forever for all I care.
DEFUND TOTALITARIANS and THEIR SUPPORTING COLLECTIVE.
Live “free” as individuals or live collectively as U.S.A. United Slaves of America.
DEPOPULATE TOTALITARIANS from the body politic.
READY - AIM - VOTE
You say you want a revolution? It will not be televised...

I used to love women’s roller derby when I was a kid!
Someone ought to restart it, with double-sized skate area, and modernized rules....but retain the fake nature of wrestling that it had.
i thought that their ratings were hurting badly and that was recently confirmed by a CNN report saying that they weren’t. If I were a pro I would start worrying just from that.
There is another sports league is called DJT league. It comes to you commercial free every day some days for an hour and a half. You can comment On every play. The preseason has started already ending with its Super Bowl on November 3. They have cheerleaders the guy won’t take a knee and he isn’t injury prone very low salary cap. Will taunt from his end zone. And after a while you’ll recognize that you are watching greatness.
I can’t wait to see the mega multi year deals baseball players sign this offseason. They’d be smart to sign before the the season tickets go on non sale. These MLB putzes will pay through the nose, starting next year, for their blm crawl.
