Collapse only happens when the TV sets are turned off and a direct boycott of all NFL Sponsors.

So scared off being labeled racist.

Majority blacks play and the SJW ideology.

What they don't have enough common fricking sense to realize is majority fans are white.
Whitey's sick of it. Keep that arse and wallet at the house.

^^^ this. They know they broke professional football by buying into a sociological lie and have been unable to deal with the cognitive dissonance of the process they have caused.

It’s lunacy.

That is interesting considering it did not exist when my Dad was a kid?

I do not think the NFL will last in it's current form, it will evolve. That evolution will change the makeup of the players. It has got to a point where bigger and faster is killing people early.

Part of the problem is the crappy play. Saturation on tv. Thursday night ballgames? Really? Meanwhile can't watch NFL games on Saturdays when college football season is done like we used to do. Games are constantly interrupted by refs, tick tack penalties, rules weakening defenses, salary cap and free agency makes it hard for teams to stay together or dynasties to form.

It's all catching up to NFL and coming together at the same time.

All I know is that the saints just swept the panthers for the season and are on top of the nfc south.

this is what kills me. they're pledging $100mil to sjw causes. so you're admitting that you can be bribed and coerced. now, they're going to know all they have to do is threaten to kneel or some other stunt and they will get money. like paying them is going to fix the issue of people staying at home because of them. way to double down on stupid

I've definitely found myself caring less and less the last year or two. I don't know whether it's the losing seasons, buffoon commissioner, rising costs of attending games, the SJW stuff, or the bad officiating, but this year I found myself just checking scores a couple times on Sunday and watching college on Saturday.

I'm not really mad or feel the need to boycott the league, I just don't care as much.

free agency
this is when i quit caring. one week, pacman jones is your enemy and you hate him. the next week, he's traded and plays for your team. it's absurd. teams have no identity anymore. you're pulling for one front office to make better moves than another front office. it's like cheering for bank of america to beat chase.

if i did care, the only team i would care about is the steelers. the rooneys act like they're actually decent human beings.

You thought the kneeling was bad, wait until news circulates that NFL ticket sales, apparel sales, etc. are going to BLM-type groups...

NBA games should be reduced to just giving each team 100 points on the board, put 5 minutes on the clock, and see who wins, would waste a lot less of people's time.

This.^ I have no clue and no care of who did what in the NFL yesterday,or,this season.

Will be funny when a re-run of The Outlaw Josey Wales on TBS outdoes the Super Bowl.jk

I would watch TOJW.

I grew up loving the NFL. I have long family traditions of watching the Browns play every Sunday with my dad and grandfather. I watched loyally as the Browns lost time and time again, year after year. Then this anthem protesting started...including my beloved Browns. At that moment something changed in me. My grandfather is a Korean War Vet and I am an Iraq War Vet. I could see the fury in my grandfather as he watched 11 Browns protest the anthem. At that moment, the NFL became less important to me. Anymore, I just don't watch the NFL. I still watch my Browns....with disgust, but the level of passion isn't there anymore. I haven't watched any other NFL game this season besides the game the Browns are in. The NFL is going to have to really reinvent itself to get my attention again.
