I continue to be impressed. 2016 was down from 2015, and 2017 is down from 2016.

They killed the golden goose with thugs and black racists.

Gonna be fun watching salaries and teams implode.

As long as Roger Goodell remains NFL Commissioner, this will continue. That is his mission. Destroy the game and the league.

Has less to do with Goddell than it does with the thugs who play the game. Goodell’s sin is that he has allowed the players to show their true colors. Eventually he, or his successor will put a stop to this; my hope is that the fans never forget so that the NFL never recovers. They lost me when they supported SF’s no-talent QB last year...

I am cheering for Team America and against both teams in any National Felons League game. Boycotts and lost viewers are the points I want to see scored, and I'm getting my wish.

Goodell has not just allowed the inmates to take over the asylum, he has encouraged and promoted it. Do not cut him any slack at all. He doesn’t deserve it.

I think this is great. I enjoy this venue more than the game. Watching people’s numbers fall, knowing that they have no one to blame but themselves... Wow. This is great. I haven’t watched one game this season of the NFL. and I am feeling good.

I am thoroughly confused on why they keep having games in other countries. I think this also began to alienate many fans.

There are too many sponsors to boycott them all — but Papa John’s is low-hanging fruit.

I need to remember to email them and Anheiser Busch today.

I don’t know if we will shut down the NFL but we can hurt it badly enough to where they will hear our money over the din of their privileged players.

My concern is that not enough of us will boycott the NFL as to put a serious dent into their overall profitability. I hope the trend continues downward.

Negro Fatigue Syndrome carried by the Slum Dog Millionaires is slowly but surely killing the BLM/NFL bye bye thugs. Ask Jesse Jackson to get you a job at Mickey D’s

Remember Ford Motors using the sympathizer Aaron Rodgers on their truck ads.

Rule number one dealing with thugs: never give them an opening. Colin Kaepernick knelt and the owners decided to be understanding? That's irreversible. I cannot comprehend that the owners and Goodell are bullied into not having suspended him from that game plus for another few weeks.

Don't know that they can put the genie back in the bottle. Or the inmates back in the asylum.

They are done; their operating model, combined with our national demographics, are unworkable. This problem started before the minority bread-and-circus entertainers decided to give us a piece of their minds, and won’t likely change direction. I live a few miles south of the new Giants Stadium in NJ, and the replacement stadium was designed to fit more corporate boxes and less allowance for the “little people”; the average fans are more detached than ever from the league, and the games have becomes marathons of commercials - what is technically a 60 minute game is routinely 3 1/2+ hours long. 90 minute soccer matches finish in half the time...

Yup, they’ve not only bit the hand that feeds them, they continue to chew away at it so it’s completely destroyed.

Pappa John needs to stop sponsoring the thug brigade and put out some very patriotic, flag and country lovin’ ads instead. Then sit back and watch the business come back.

They’re trying to see if it will catch on internationally. If it does they won’t need the US fans and viewers.

The people who own these teams are largely the same globalist oligarchs who take every other industry offshore in pursuit of higher profit margins.

Some of the Houston Texans’ players stated they’d considered walking off the team after the “inmates running the prison” comment by the team owner.

My question is... what could be done to entice the entire NFL to walk out? I for one enjoyed watching replacement-player football in 1987, and would welcome it again. Dump the current crop of self-absorbed, America-hating thugs and replace them with players who (albeit less talented) would be on the field much more for the love of the game.

The less the adults watch the less their children will. It will only continue downhill.
