My local newspaper is predicting more players will take a knee in defiance of Trump.The players will do their grandstanding this weekend, and think they won the battle against Trump. They may get the liberal cities to support them, but they will lose half their audience. It will be a pyrrhic victory when they find out next week that half the football fans stopped watching them.We are watching a business commit suicide.

I’m hoping the TV audience for the NFL just crashes through the floor tomorrow and onward.

It would be great if tons of fans who already have tickets to games tomorrow get pissed and just decide not to go. Don’t re-sell, them, we want maximum empty seats!!!

Remember this, the left’s infiltration of football was never to take it over. It was to destroy it.

Like the church, scouting, the military, the schools...

The end game is destruction.

Wait until the ratings drop even more.....then the NFL will have to give back hundreds of millions if not abillion in ad revenue payments to the networks.

Guess what NFL players.....the salary cap for the teams is based upon a percentage of the total NFL revenue...I do not remember what that percentage is but for the the sake of the argurment lets day the players have negotiated 43% of all NFL revenue goes to the players’ salaries.

That is divided between 31 32 teams (do not remember how many teams there are) and that is your salary cap per team.

If NFL revenue goes down by a 500 million....multiply 500 million .43 then divide it by 32 teams....that is how much money the players are losing.

In my scenario the players would have lost 215 million...ablut 6.7 million per team.

That will get their attention.
