re: Sunday Night Football posts worst ratings of the year following Trump comments

For the record, I don't think the OP meant the league would fold. I think he meant they'd end up having to deal with the protests somehow.

I think they will too. The owners had their little "I'm with the players" blurbs and Goodell issued his statement condemning Trump but you can bet that there's more than a few billionaires on the phone this morning. NBC paid a lot of money for the broadcast rights. GMC and Pepsi and whomever else advertises pay a lot of money for commercials.

The whole shitshow will come to a head.

People won't put up with the bullshite and the league is going to have to eventually "bend the knee..." pardon the pun.
