Trade the boycotting players to Canada.
I was a football addict for over 60 years but I gave up on the NFL when they backed and/or allowed these protests, mostly fueled by false narratives, against our country. I would strongly suggest that these protesters go to another country and stay long enough to realize how blessed America is. The more I travel, the more I realize how much we take for granted that people in other countries are literally dying for. I am further angered by the media which has chosen to make an issue of these protests and send the message that America is broken. If the media chooses to participate, let’s see them produce a documentary backed by objective data and let the public make an educated choice.
I attended my first Pro Football game at age 9 in 1950 at the long ago replaced Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, and was a season ticker holder for 38 years {at certain times I owned 16 seats for the entire season}.
Sold my rights for the my seats at Heinz Field several years ago, {before the kneeling, it was because of a no smoking policy} stopped watching games last year, but confess that I did watch some Steeler high lights.
I did not miss being glued to the TV for 8-10 hours every Sunday, played more golf, got more work done, didn't have to rush home from Church and skip a lunch out to make a 1:00 PM kickoff time.
The young kids don't watch that much tv, and the older fans are pissed at the stupidity of the entire group, owners, players and especially elmer fudd, the overpaid football commissar with one thumb in his mouth and the other in his ass and responds the the command 'switch'.
Pro football has forgotten that they are entertainment and have certainly forgotten the genesis of the AFL, although I think the threat of an alternative league is remote, the downsizing of the loyal audience will have a very negative effect on their bottom line.
