What some of you defenders are ignoring is that this is nothing like 2016. More corruption has been seen in the league over the past 4 seasons, the product has gotten worse, and now the actual league is not only allowing but sponsoring and pushing divisive agendas by spoiled rich athletes. The Brees issue is just one example of this.

That’s not including the biggest thing that will hurt them. People are realizing how valuable pro sports are to their lives. People can live happily without them and have found other things to fill their time that are more productive and meaningful.

Add again that less people are going to have disposable income to wage on things like NFL Sunday Ticket, many may not even have bars open to watch the games, etc.

Tons of revenue streams are going to hit the NFL and other leagues. Just watch. It won’t kill them but their value will drop and the question will be will they be able to get these fans back?

Players aren’t going to accept lower salaries. Just wait until they actually have to. MLB players showed their asses with this. They expected the same prorated salaries as if the games had stands full of people and fought tooth and nail against the owners.

Do as you want but stop whining about those of us that have found a more useful way to spend our time to better this world instead of wasting our time and money on spoiled athletes that feel they are more important than they really are.

Again, I'm sure they'll take a hit in the ratings department due to the protests and some of the other things you mentioned.

But it's not gonna be some death blow to the league like some think.

This ^^^

I can play two rounds of golf on Saturday and Sunday with lunch for what it will cost to go to a game. Camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting. Time to get back the great things in life. Instead of being hooked to the television all day on a Sunday watching overpaid idiots preach to me about lies they’ve made up in their heads.

I'm excited about this. It'll be more entertaining than the actual sport to watch the great wailing and gnashing of teeth when they start slashing salaries.
