Gee, that’s a shame.
Thugball, a “game” played by spoiled rotten thugs paid gazillions of dollars for a GAME.
Circuses where the clowns wear numbers.

What a Waste of time over a
Bunch of AMERICAN Hater Bastards!
Talent is up. Skills are up. Costs are up.
Personality down. Flavor down. Love down.
The kneeling didn’t cause this. It just turned the nations’ heads in that direction.
Based on the few vid’s I’ve seen, the Steelers vs Pats game looked a bit over half full. The game was a powerhouse game between the 2 best teams in the AFC to decide home-field advantage during the playoffs. People are not showing up to the games.
No NFL in my home. The boycott won’t end this year. I do fine without the NFL.
And NFL owners pay Goodell $200 million for this.
Let the NFL burn to the ground.
>it’s nearly impossible to tell how many people are simply choosing not to attend games
Nonsense. Concession sales correlate with turnstile attendance (but the stadia don’t want to release that). Parking figures similarly (but that might require a couple phone calls to write the story).
In short, in the immediate term all the ancillary business (the stuff sold to the taxpayers under the guise of “X in revenue will occur if you pay for this stadium”) is being hit. The nuffle and the owners are relatively insulated in the short term.
Bring back the “XFL” or “USFL”!
“XFL” may be (re-)happening:

When is the Bailout?
It’s cable cutters. I’ve never been able to cut ESPN without cutting cable.
And these are the losers who pre-bought season tickets now looking a cheaper bargain without the discounts!
Unless these customers are stuck on stupid like some of my Republican football fans at work who have imo no pride, Next year the NFL will have zilch attendance except for black people and some libs
I'm not really a "boycotter", I'm just a Vet that doesn't care to invest time and interest in having me and my wonderful Country and way of life insulted by some truly ignorant and ungrateful millionaires.
I don't feel like an irate member of an organized "boycot" community, I'm just someone who pulled the NFL plug, and did so from my attachment to my national heritage and my pride in my (and my family's) military service. The separation was remarkably easy, and the desire to re-up just is not there.
What this amounts to is this.
The NFL players could start standing this week, and I would be unconvinced and uninterested. It takes dozens of positives to undo a negative, and they are not even at one.
So, there is no bitterness, just an informed choice to reclaim my Sundays and to maintain my self-respect. (As proof, I have no idea who's in first place in any division; and, I have no idea who my once-and-former fave team played this week, month, or season.)
It is not likely that I would ever come back to the NFL fan fold even if, with all predictable reluctance, all of the players began standing again.

Maybe they can donate more millions to the sjws and all will be well.
Haha at the Redskins stadium. So tired of the team being so terrible for 25 years.
The ticket sales for next season, and to some extent, viewership of the Superbowl will tell the store of how effective the boycott is. Followed the Jets and Giants since I was a kid, also liked the Steelers since the glory days of the Steel Curtain. This season, I have no clue how they’re doing, and I don’t GAFF.
