But all the progs told us that fans boycotting the NFL would have no impact at all.

There's some protesting going on, without a doubt, but it's fans protesting the product being put on the field, I believe, more than any pronounced reaction to a handful of players displaying their Constitutional rights before kickoff


Or, this could be the "last straw" to a fanbase already disenchanted with the crappy product on the fields, but willing to tolerate it until the demonstrations started.

In reality, who wants to watch a bunch of 20-30 years old protest their feelings and play a child's game while cashing checks for millions of dollars.

Such a disconnect. Bunch of spoiled 1%ers.

well the KKK came out yesterday and said wearing hoods and white sheets as well as burning crosses means something totally new now, they do it now to raise awareness of how black privilege causes whites to be discriminated against and to raise awareness and call attention to how whites are 20 times more likely to be killed by cops then black as proven by actual real world statistics.

so we can now burn crosses in the parking lots and on the field before every NFL game now to raise awareness of black privilege and stuff and everyone is all supportive and shite because, "muh" first amendment and all that right?

it is the exact same thing as the players are doing, taking a racist protest supporting racism, and trying to change the narrative about something that has always been about disrespecting the flag and our country to hold a racist demonstration supporting racism against whites and the killing of cops. they now want to call it something different just to try and get people to accept supporting racism against whites and the killing of cops as something other then what it is and will always be, supporting racism against whites and the killing of cops.

so unless you are a hypocrite, if you support the kneeling or just ignore it and watch the games anyway in spite of it, then you have to be cool with supporting the KKK burning crosses to raise awareness of black privilege and discrimination against whites now right?

the NFL has turned every NFL game into a black lives matter protest supporting racism against all whites and hatred for cops and then they dont they sit back and cant understand why everyone doesnt love it. this why they are going broke

Question, is the league's blackout policy still suspended as it has been for the past 3 years?

If players were doing Nazi salutes I wonder how much we'd be hearing about them "exercising their first amendment rights"

It's just one of the straws.

Put a better product out without constant advertising and official and nonsense stoppage and people will come back.

I wonder if the players will protest wages when they are all working at McDONALD's?
