MDC 5,893 Posted October 29, 2017 I'd say the kneeling is counter-productive to the players cause. "We want everyone to love blacks. Therefore, we'll do something that everyone finds despicable!" Ah, good plan. OK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,893 Posted October 29, 2017 You think the people have stopped watching because Trump riled us up? Far from it. It's the player's actions that have riled up the people who love this country and respect it. Typical liberal mentality; demand no personal responsibility unless it fits your political agenda. Good thing Don came around to convince seemingly everyone to start protesting. Heckuva job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted October 29, 2017 Good thing Don came around to convince seemingly everyone to start protesting. Heckuva job. I stopped watching when I heard Jags/Ravens sat/knelt for our Anthem then stood for English tribute. I think that was same weekend the Steelers stayed in the locker room except that one guy. Actually not that many players are doing it. Apparently not all of them want to cut off their noses to spite their face. I guess those ones like being millionaires and realize those protesting are killing the golden goose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker Boy 1,485 Posted October 31, 2017 Last year, the NFL lost about a million regular-season viewers versus the 2013 and 2014 seasons. It represented about a 6% fall-off ― enough to be easily noticed and maybe even cause a little concern, but it could be written off as a one-year blip. Last year's seepage has turned into a major break in the dam. The league is now down about three million viewers per game from 2013 and 2014. When the specific teams appearing, the scope of the telecast and the week of the season are taken into account, the decline is even more dramatic: more than four million viewers, or in excess of 20%. https://www.forbes.com/sites/briangoff/2017/10/23/nfl-losing-viewers-at-alarming-rate-but-faces-limits-on-its-response/#2c29c8944212 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is kind of a struggling sport right now. Not sure what can be done either. Too many injuries poor matchups, little team loyalty.
