The protests are having an impact on attendance, but there's some other issues at play:
1. Increasing ticket costs & PSLs
2. Quality and affordability of High-end TVs and home theater systems + packages like NFL Sunday Ticket
3. Game Day Experience - the proliferation of fights, public drunkenness, profane language, etc at so many NFL stadiums has gotten out of hand. Just search "NFL Stadium Fights" on YouTube and you'll see its not just an issue confined to a few cities and teams.

packages like NFL Sunday Ticket


So, I would assume we can find some stats showing these packages are selling like gangbusters?

Excuse. Do ticket prices ever go down from year to year? Generally not. Are the NBA, MLB, UFC or NASCAR facing a 20% decline?

Wiki:

NFL Sunday Ticket was launched in 1994 and was available on both DirecTV (which had launched just months earlier) and on C band and Ku band satellites, for which the receiving dishes are larger in size. Within several years, the service became available on various cable systems in Canada as well.

That's 23 years ago, if you're counting. Excuse #2.

And excuse #3. Society was just so much more refined, any time before 2015, huh?

Just keep whistling past the graveyard. Regular Americans have been letting the world know how they felt since CK started his bullshite. Now, tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars of loss later, people still want to make it about something else. You folks need to get together with Hillary and write a book. You can have joint signings in front of the TP at Costco.
