I'm betting the NFL is taking a huge sigh of relief. I'm betting they were expecting record lows.

A lot of people were talking shite. 19%. It sounded more like 30%. A lot of people are lying about not watching.

Even if you disagree with the activism, political statements and etc, if you let these things stop you from watching football, then you weren’t a true fan to begin with.

Get over it. I will continue to enjoy the NBA playoffs, college football, and the NFL regardless. We’ve gone too long without sports; nothing is going to ruin them for me. People are so soft.


If, an an American citizen, you’re not disgusted by with the Marxist anti-American activism, political statements, and etc. then you’re no better than the progressive/socialist scum orchestrating it all.

Not a big NFL fan, but I generally watch it on Sundays as there isn’t much else on. After the Thursday night pregame unity session, I’ve decided not to watch any of it this season.

No Davell Gardner Jr.?
No Secoriea Turner?
No Ibrie Combs?

That is how you know this is all bullshite and these players, with their fake tears and organizations with their hypocritical stances don't really care at all.

I will say this I was watching redzone all day and the anti-racism social justice crap was all pretty minimal. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting.
If I had to guess, Redzone channel probably would have less SJW stuff just because they skip around to whichever game has somebody about to score. You miss the commercials, PSA's, and most of the breaks in play where the announcers talk about it

Didn’t say I agreed with it....but again I will say it slow for you...what does that have to do with actually tossing the old pigskin around?

You're making his point for him. None of it has to do with "tossing the old pigskin around" which is why everyone has their arse full of the players tossing said pig skin around trying to jam it down their throats.

Sports should transcend the hot button topics guaranteed to divide people. We need to get back to not discussing politics and religion in public. The internet/social media has erroneously given people the idea that others care what they think, and sides will be changed, but it won't. It's simply a platform (frick that word) for people to find their echo chamber and reinforce whatever their "side" may be.

Not during, but during the pregame and during the commercial breaks

Did they play the "Black National Anthem" before the game?

People will come back to sports. Some more time learning something instead of waiting on the demise of football.
