that means... more backlash against the Needless Football League:
Many brokers and bankers — some of whom are also military veterans — have threatened to pull the plug on pro football for not reining in players who are using the American national anthem as an opportunity to protest by taking the knee. And as the protests gather steam this weekend, some vets of the financial markets — a huge employer of former US military service personnel, have unleashed a barrage of criticism in response and could be counted among the estimated 2 million fewer viewers over the first three weeks of the season.
The NFL protests should stop, these Street vets say — or else. Back to Wall Street, the industry that helps supports the NFL's lavish skybox culture:
The NFL is starting to feel the financial whiplash from Wall Street. Some of the highest rollers at the games these days are deal-makers and stock traders who unwind in the best stadium suites, sponsor the NFL and bankroll the franchise by buying blocks of season tickets. “Of course we should respect the American flag,” said John O’Shea, New York-based chairman of Global Alliance Securities, who has season tickets to the Giants. O’Shea did not dispute a player’s constitutional right to protest and he hasn’t shredded his season tickets just yet. But McCormick is having none of it. “I am now watching way less games than I ever had,” he said.
If Wall Street pulls the plug on the NFL, the league is finished. Faster, please.

Listen closely NFL owners . . . can you hear the axe falling?
“Your dreamworld is just about to end.”
I can only hope!
With or without Wall Street, the NFL is dead.
Send a message Wall St. PLEASE.
I am watching ZERO (like zerobama ZERO) NFL games. They can KMA and I hope they get some Anti Antifa violence imposed on their heads.
Millionaires' Football League.
USAA. Can you hear me now?
They heard from me.
Who freaking cares?
The NFL finally ate it’s own lunch.
Buh Bye Good from hell
The ax will never fall until judgements are issued against the NHL for breech of contracts
The axe is falling, the blade might be dull when it strikes, but it’s still going to hurt them.
It’s going to take time for this to bear fruit, we have to be in it for the long haul.
I don’t like waiting. . . LOL
This is not a threat. It is merely consequences.
Still disappointing that so many people still go to games and watch on TV. The players, owners and NFL must think they can continue to do whatever they want. And until there is a huge falloff in attendance, viewers and sponsors they can continue to flip off their most loyal fans.
Needless Football Leauge...
Thats’ getting closer.
usually when you fight a war there's a clear goal and when you achieve that goal you can declare victory what on earth can they claim is their goal and how will they know they've achieved it let alone be able to declare victory and stop their silly little black tantrums?
Advertisers are going to avoid politically charged events. It’s in their best interest to do so.
