>> If those spoiled rotten, immature, stupid thugs

Insignificant thugs no different than the MSM minions ranting on the airways.

Subscribers must turn their attention to the BODs and major shareholders. Bitching about players and anchors accomplishes absolutely nothing.

Until the parent corps are punished financially, nothing will change.

Comcast could probably be put into bankruptcy if the Right decided to walk the talk.

Sunday’s the Sabbath, anyway.

In fact, that’s a big reason the NFL really didn’t take off until the 1970s, many in the early days of the NFL were upset they played on Sundays. Even baseball had some issues with playing on Sunday in the early 1900s.

Even in Britain, they didn’t play soccer games on Sunday until, 1974.

There’s a lot of great things to do on Sunday including fishing.

Th NFL needs to grow a pair. The players are employees. If they want to protest they can do it on their own time and not slap the faces of every red blooded American!

Maybe they can play this "Missing Fan Anthem" ("The Fightin' Side Of Me") right before they play the National Anthem every game, so that everyone will know why all the seats are empty.

I wish I could be reighteously indignant, but I gave up TV twenty years ago. My chances of watching NFL games are slim even if they clean up their act.

The players long ago lost an attitude of gratitude. If the US and NFL are so bad, they should just drop out and put their college degrees to good use

What a trainwreck this league has become. Glad I left.

The owners aren’t afraid of players and the “race card.” I suspect the biggest fear among NFL owners is that they know damn well that many of these players are criminals who wouldn’t hesitate to make a ton of money fixing games if the league comes down hard on them.

I have been in a Fantasy Football League with 23 other guys, mostly in the maintenance shop where I work, for the last twenty two years. It was a pretty big deal for a long time.

It kind of just petered out in the middle of last season. Even with $2400 on the table, people just lost interest. Nobody was watching the games. It is time to start up the league this year, and nobody cares. I don’t think we will have a 2018 season.

If the NFL has lost these guys, they’re toast. When nobody is talking about football down in the Maintenance Shop, it’s all over.

BTW, the Sabbath has always been on Saturday.

Good for them. As for myself, I will never watch another NFL game or buy an NFL product.

Meanwhile....

Officers killed in the line of duty in 2018

At least 49 so far this year.

The NFL can go to HELL.

Dear NFL,

I didn't need a new reason to not watch, you took care of that already.

It is interesting to watch employees participate in the assisted suicide of a multibillion dollar company.

“working on a resolution to the anthem issue”
The only resolution is this: you make a rule, and fire the players who don’t follow it.
