Think of the NFL like Chris Brown or United Airlines. He beats the shit out of women and had probably the worst PR from that of any musician in recent memory... but that didn't end up hurting his record sales at all because at the end of the day, he was still putting out music that his fans liked. United had the dragging the guy of the plane PR disaster and barely took a pinch from that in the long run even though everyone was saying they'd boycott United.
It's the same shit with the NFL. At the end of the day it's still football, and the amount of people who'd legitimately stop watching it entirely just because of protests isn't enough to hurt it at all.
So I don't think the protests have anything to do with NFL ratings being slightly down. I think it has everything to do with the product becoming overly corporatized and less exciting than it once was. I think ratings spiked in the last few years because of the surging popularity of fantasy football (which brought in more casual fans as viewers), but it feels like fantasy hit it's plateau as a marketing tool. Also, college football has much more passion and excitement than the NFL, and it's showing now more than ever.

The protesting may have started because of racism in police departments issues, but now it's just turned into a silly PC protest against Trump. Maybe they should hire Hillary or Bernie to lead it. Can't wait to see them and Obama take a knee. It's going to happen. Also, poles show these protests are the primary reason more viewers have been tuning out.
If these clowns started donating say, half of their obscene salaries to the people they claim to be protesting for, they would gain some serious credibility. But they won't. Padding their own bottom line will always be the bottom line with them (and with people in general). If owners started fining them every game they continue to do this, the protesting would wind down quickly. Gotta get the latest Lamborghini or ferarri motherfucker. Nothing else matters.

He called them sons of bitches.
You call people out, you should expect a response.
Name one person standing up telling the world they're being oppressed and can't vote. That will be the motherfucker proud to be too stupid to sign their own name.
Political Appointee US District judges say it happens.
So all this is now about being called sons of bitches, and not about police brutality? Sound like a bunch of pussies who can't take an insult. They wouldn't last one day in here.
Yes, video proving my point and yet you still continue this shallow blatant lie. Stop reading the headline, find a video NOT edited and listen to each word slowly.

This is a legitimate criticism.
The NFL owners didn't back up the players who protested police brutality.
They only backed up the players after Trump attacked the league itself.

I am the voice of reason in this bleak board populated by so many pussy leftist wanna be Commissars.
If the NFL owners want to lose money then let these spoiled asshats keep up their MSM driven bullshit fantasy of police oppression. It will hurt the entire NFL and could take years to repair the damage done in the name of fake SJW bullshit. Odd the owners didn't kneel with Tebow who was crucified for his actions by the same lefty fucks now promoting this shit. It is indeed a plan by the global elite to tear this country apart slowly but surely.

You are so close to joining @Sledog.
Give in to the hate.

I do love your consistent racism though. TYFYS.
