Just yesterday I expressed my gut instinct the viewership was down 10-30%. Now it is pegged at 20. LOL

I suggested it was going to cost them, and sure enough it’s heading toward $1 billion bucks.

In life we have all seen that one employee that cost a business more than it realized. For the NFL ir was Kapernick.

He has cost them nearly $1 billion so far, and the NFL just announced it will dedicate $100 million more to social justice projects.

I guess the goal is to achieve $2 billion in net losses ASAP. I’d wish them good luck with that, but they’re doing just fine without me.

These are some VERY SERIOUS fools.

I'd bet - don't know, but would guess - that the $100 million is a tax writeoff to someone, somewhere. No one is really coming out of pocket for it.

It's a distraction, a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. If TV viewership is really off 20 points, next season the hammer is going to drop on all of this "kneeling before the game" foolishness. That 100 million to "Social Justice" gives them something to point at when the axe falls.

20% of TV revenue is real money, for sure it will get the owner's attention.
