I think there are ironies here. Namely, that the liberals who support players taking a knee tend not to be football fans in the first place.
So it’s not as if they will get a bunch of new fans in support of taking a knee, to replace those who tune out..
I wonder how season ticket sales renewals are going this off season.
I can’t wait to hear excuses as to why viewership and attendance are down if they are lower again this year.
The excuses from the past were crazy, such as:
The sunny side of the 49ers stadium gets so hot, that nobody wants to sit there.
The attendance dropped over Thanksgiving weekend because so many people were Christmas shopping or traveling.
Attendance dropped in the last few weeks because so many teams were out of playoff contention.
There were a lot of rainy days or cold weather last fall, keeping crowds down.
Some games were rescheduled, and people didn’t know what time or channel the game was on.
The reasons for the drops were anything besides public anger at the players protests. In there morning and, it had to be anything besides the players behavior driving fans away.
And don’t forget
There was an election.
Or a hurricane...
Or people forgot who their favorite team was..
(OK, I made up that last one)
All BS excuses. College football viewership was way up last year.
The fans (dupes) don’t fit into his equation, much less the Service members they pretend to honor.
