With this new policy, the protestors have been neutered.

Protests will now be confined to the locker room, where they will be out of sight - effectively, invisible to the public. Like when Facebook “mutes” conservatives.

And any player dumb enough to try to protest in public, will be fined, then eventually removed from the team after enough infractions.

This is a way to slowly weed out the protestors legally, or at least make them invisible. No wonder the race-baiters at ESPN are ticked off.

The list is growing of corporations and industries that have gone too far left and have discovered that most Americans are tired of being told how they should think.

The entire newspaper business is slowly dying because of their putting ideology over truth.

More recently Starbucks decided to drink the poison Kool Aid of political correctness rather than back their managers who was following the company’s written policy.

And let us not forget the Boy Scouts being taken over by homosexuals. Do they really think they will get more members? Do they really think middle America will continue to support the “Scouts” and allow their sons to join the organization?

When will this madness end?

This is _not_ going to happen under the Goodell regime.

The protests will continue in a thousand different forms, on and off the field, until Goodell is fired by the owners--you heard it here first.

Would that the nfl went broke and dissolved. The owners and players are a constant reminder of how LIBs destroy everything they touch. It really is the RML (Reverse Midas League). They deserve obscurity. Those who watch these unpatriotic clowns only contribute to their disrespectful for this nation and what it stands for.

“........The last two seasons have been a time of shrinking viewership.......”

You haven’t seen anything yet, wait until the next two season and beyond. People have found they don’t need the NFL to survive, the whining and tears tells us the National Felon League needs US, yes “We, The People”.
NO NFL football here so like a bad marriage, it’s over!

For me it doesn’t matter. I will never again watch anything to do with the NFL. I am a retired veteran and they dedicated on me. I no longer even watch the sports section in news reports.

Real “Football” was played in Kiev yesterday. This stuff is more like “Lucy Ball”. Players vs. Owners vs. patrons.

Those rules may or may not stop the kneeling, but they’re unlikely to bring back the fans. At least not anytime soon.

When the lefty players started this crap, all of my NFL jerseys went in the trash, and I turned off the tv. Will this rule change bring me back?

Not
F*****g
Likely

"...but the team will also be penalized, which could cost some teams some games."

Nonsense. So they start the game minus 15 yards on the opening kickoff or the first play from scrimmage and it's done with.

You want to really penalize them during the game? Give the other coach a pink penalty flag to be used at a time of his choosing at any point in the game.

The MFL is history regardless of what they do. Liberals destroy everything they touch. It’s what they do. It’s the MFL’s fault for letting those commie pigs in the door.

Too little, too late.

Goodell et al. futzed around with this, thereby allowing the fans (i.e., paying customers) to get good and pi$$ed off.

Many, including myself, have found other activities to occupy our Sunday afternoons and will not be returning.

The NFL is paying $100 million to SJWs groups.

I refuse to fund the LEFT, directly or indirectly.

I am hoping, like the NFL fans, people start to stand up to businesses who disrespect us on a daily basis like the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL.

And, usually, there’s an old Jimmy Stewart movie on Sunday afternoon on another channel...

The owners must be seeing catastrophically bad season ticket renewal numbers.

And that’s the real problem the NFL is facing – football has been targeted by liberals for destruction.

So very cynical.

(True, though.)

A number of teams are down in renewal numbers. Also, teams are dropping ticket prices or (at best) keeping them the same as last year.
