Every article you see on the NFL protests has some white guy commenting saying he's gonna spend his Sundays doing something else... with 500 plus ppl liking it. They dislike the NFL so much that they're commenting on it day in and day out...right.

NFL was always in trouble, Kapernick is just being the Target to point fingers at

• Fan violence at games
• The price for attending
• Football on Mon, Thurs, Sun with them stretching into Sat this preseason.
• Moves to LA and Vegas
• Games in London and Mexico City
• CTE
• Players getting injured more from the new CTA

Very simple. NFL wouldn't be in this mess if there wasn't an obvious collusion to not sign Kap. He would be the one being polarizing and the NFL is free to stay out of it.

The NFL has tried to please both sides and got baited by Trump to go towards the side that disrespected the flag by saying they are aagainst Trump but people see it as disrespecting the flag. And they did it in a half ass way, when in reality should have just ignored the whole damn thing and not have orchestrated that locking arms nonsense which pleased nobody.

The Kap side doesn't see their gesture as genuine since they were baited by Trump and still haven't signed Kap.

And Patriots have taken their half ass locking arms as still being disrespectful to flag.

Just down right stupid move to even entertain this shyt lmao.

NFL boycotters are bringing the league to its knees, as shown by the 26 percent increase in ratings for “Thursday Night Football” from Week 5 last season. Hey, wait …

The NFL is doing fine, of course. CBS announced it and NFL Network did an average 11.1 rating with a 19 share for the New England Patriots’ win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Those ratings don’t even include digital viewing numbers on Amazon Prime, which weren’t available early Friday. The television ratings are a 26 percent increase from last season’s Week 5 Arizona-San Francisco game on CBS and NFL Network.

As has been pointed out in this space over and over and over, the NFL “ratings crisis” is overblown. Consider that the Yankees-Twins wild-card playoff game on Tuesday night, which had an enormous 58 percent increase from 2016 because the Yankees were in it, had a 5.2 overnight rating. That game faced no real competition in the sports viewing marketplace on Tuesday night. The Buccaneers-Patriots 11.1 rating, despite going up against a Game 1 ALDS matchup between the Yankees and Indians, more than doubled that AL wild-card game rating.

Imagine if you’re the NFL. Sure, the games on Thursday night are generally sloppy, considering teams have half the usual time to prepare. But fans tuned in this week at twice the rate of an elimination game featuring the New York Yankees, the biggest draw in Major League Baseball. Networks are clearly going to pay for a program that produces a rating like the NFL can deliver over three hours. CBS said the Buccaneers-Patriots game ratings beat Fox by 325 percent, NBC by 176 percent and ABC by 132 percent. Now, if you were the NFL you’d really cut off “Thursday Night Football” and that revenue stream? Come on.

This is a temporary dip, lots of salty cacs trying to boycott. Soon as the season gets going they’ll get tired of pretending to like pro bowling and soccer more

I’m in KC and as soon as the chiefs started rolling they all forgot about that boycott bullshyt.

EDIT. I’m talking about the temp dip and not the long term drop from CTE.
