Half of America is choosing to be pissed off.

For people who are so quick to call out snowflakes, many, if not most, here are being quite snowflakey

Ratings going down is losing the networks money. NFL is set until 2022.

We, as a country, have been doing that for 30 or 40 years now with this nonsense. It isn't working. The shite's about to hit the fan. Hope your kids are in private school already.


I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old. The five year old is in public school and will stay in public school. I understand what you're saying and there are challenges ahead, but we are still the greatest country in the world. I've been across the globe and there's not many places that can even compare.

Which is why I listed ESPN first. If NFLs contracts are locked in, they are fine. But I sill can't imagine they are thrilled with ratings going down.....

Definitely not.

They need to address the amount of penalties. Ruins the flow of the game.

But still comfortably on top.

More people are cutting get the cord and finding new ways to watch the game coupled with a product that is a shell of what it used to be.

This anthem shite has nothing to do with it.

I was driving home when the anthem was played live on the radio.

I was at a red light so I rolled down the windows and turned up the radio loud AF!!!

the car next to me was not impressed.

just thought I'd share since people can do whatever the frick they want.

The SJWs have made so many so sensitive to anything that used to be American.

This is quite possibly the dumbest faux issue I've seen in my lifetime...since the country went crazy angry over New Coke.

I disagree. The drop from just last year is too steep for it to not. I agree there are other factors, but I do think the anthem issue is causing some loss

They are young and dumb. You were young and dumb once too. If you could look back at yourself in your twenties you would cringe too.

This Kaepernick shite is incredibly easy to ignore. Why get riled up over it?

If you could easily sit for the anthem or refuse the pledge in grade school in the 80's and nobody cared - why is this a big deal now?

Are we so afraid that the only thing that binds us among so many different groups of people in this country is uber-patriotism?

Just ignore it and it will go away. All these people are doing is feeding the fire.

Quit playing the anthem at sporting events. Problem solved. It's not played at the movies, comedy shows or most entertainment events why should sports be any different?
