The way the media is spinning it yes. They are as ignorant on the meaning of the anthem/flag is as they are that people see them as they are. Ignorant and biased

NFL Broadcasting Stocks Slump As Protests Rise And TV Ratings Fall


You mean expecting your fans to pay hundreds of dollars for tickets, to then be subjected to SJW humiliation, and having their own country pissed on isn’t a winning formula? Huh.

Not one owner acknowledged their fan’s outrage. They deserve to lose more.

I am very proud of all Freepers who are taking a stand and not watching the NFL anymore.

This issue is foundational.

I have not been a sports fan since I was a teen, but I know plenty of people who are sorts fan.

For you to give something like this up, something that you enjoy, for the good of our nation, is inspirational.

The nfl, like all other mass media, is primarily in the business of promoting PC, and secondarily in it to make money. They will gladly lose money to give support to the America-hating BLM bastards.

Many own teams as a show of conspicuous consumption. They don’t care about the losses

To a point..

Doesn’t matter anymore. They can go find another country to play in.

The point Ozanian is making is in the question “is it wise for this social protest unrelated to NFL entertainment to occur amidst falling revenues?”. And related questions such as “Is it wise to broadcast and amplify anti-Trump social justice antics that are irrelevant to the entertainment product?”.

A related question: Does this "protest" actually promote discussion of whatever is being protested and positive change? The answer seems to be a big "no". Leftists talk about the free speech right to protest. Decent people talk about the rudeness of disrespect to our anthem, our flag, our country, and our ancestors. No one talks about whatever the now unemployed 2-14 loser from the 49ers claimed this protest was supposed to be about.

I’m sure it must be really tough for you hardcore fans, but who wants to watch a bunch of pampered, overpaid, multimillionaire thugs who are a bunch of racist ingrates that have no clue what real oppression is ? Add to that no accountability for their actions. The worst sort of spoiled brats. Hit the punks, the coaches, owners, Goodell, the whole damn league in the pocketbook. They deserve it.

“I’m sure it must be really tough for you hardcore fans...”

My man, maybe you forgot, but I downgraded my cable (eliminating the “Sports”) two+ years ago. I followed that up by canceling cable completely last May. No hardcore fan here. I dumped cable before it became cool.

I don’t understand why so many find it difficult to stop paying the people that hate you.

At some point you got to be an adult and let go of your toys and live according to your values. Stop funding the people working actively towards your demise...and using your dollar$ to do it.

The NFL,
Cuck Goodell,
Ben Rapistburger,
Chris “Average, White receiver” Colonsworthless,
(((muh Jerruh))) and the rest of the Billionaire Boys Club,
Bob “I’m being phased out” Costas,
Etc...

Can all GFY.

Everything I wanted to say about this, I said here:
