NFL probably thought ratings would already be down enough without turning off even more viewers, and wonder how much ad revenue they would potentially have had to return if the ratings were low enough.

The real reason that the Patriot kneelers stood was "Fear of the Lord".

I'm betting that a couple will always think the loss will be because they pulled the kneeling stunt.

I tuned in at the last time out 1:10 remaining.
The Eagles won. They had no kneelers this season and their quarterback is a Christian.
The New England Pussyhats lost.

Lousy defense on both sides. Looked like an Arena Football game.

“During a Monday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, multiple Eagles players stood with one fist raised in the air during the anthem. An American flag was held on the field by a local police and two fans in the stands held a sign reading, “Stand up.””
