It would be mildly interesting to compute the loss in value Kaepernick imposed upon the NFL. I’d bet it’s approaching $5 billion.
“Unfortunately for the NFL, millions of people found that the world didn’t stop turning if they walked away and found something else to do with their time. They won’t be back. Serves them right. “
Yes, it’s like kicking a drug habit. People who have pi$$ed away their lives on the NFL hopefully will have found that there is more to life that laying around drinking beer, eating Ballpark franks, and farting sitting on the Lazy-Boy three or four days a week!
Going from $40 down to $35 billion. That would be a 12% hit representing $5 billion loss. All for dividing fans over the issue of “taking a knee.” No way are they going to let that kind of money-draining continue. They’ll either double-down or put an end to it.
Empty seats = less concession revenue.
Plus, the visuals makes it appear the NFL is a league in decline.
We will see. The teams put themselves at risk but the outcome is tbd.
He must still harbor dreams of filling Cossell's shoes on Monday Night Football—and this may the issue that finally opens doors for him in some weird way.
“The network I’m sure did not agree to air the silly political grievances of millionare players. It’s likely the NFL is violating the contract by not controlling the actions of it’s players.”
I would bet on the networks fulfilling the obligations of their NFL contracts as there seems to be no violation of those contracts or the CBA.
However, when the contracts are negotiated, the price may decrease somewhat.
Concession revenue is a drop in the bucket.
TV contracts, season ticket sales and merchandizing are how the real cash is generated.
Steve Bisciotti, the owner, is a smart man. Surprised it took so long to figure this out .....
This years season tickets were sold last spring and summer.
Wait until people don’t renew their season tickets in 2018. Then you will see NFL teams reeling from lack of sales.
That letter that management sent out was pathetic drivel
Didn’t come close to addressing the issue
Michael Vick played for thirteen seasons.
Oh! The inhumanity!
Heartless white working stiffs disrespecting whining multimillionaire blacks who get paid more in a couple of months to play a game than most working taxpayers will make working their butts off their entire lifetimes.
Is Vick in the NFL today?
I was careful not to. But it hasn’t been that long since he was on a team.

Bad product (i.e. an Anti-American stance) equals bad sales. Who knew?
