  Today’s rookies and tomorrow’s players will never know what it’s like to play in front of a crowd. Sad.

  I question whether fans really revolted or not. Maybe they did. I don't know.
  
  I didn't watch.

  $310 face tickets didn’t sell @$5 prior to kickoff in Kansas City, TV ratings are down sharply and the salary cap is falling.
  
  Might be nothing.

  I didn't watch a game. And I won't. I spent the weekend with my chainsaw clearing the back 40. Think I might aerate and seed the next couple of weekends. Way more fulfilling than watching overpaid idiots who whine all day.

  I'm out on the NBA and the NFL until they get their shit together. The stand for the black anthem/kneel for the national anthem was a massive fuck you to this country.
  
  You want to stand for both, fine. I can live with that. You want respect, give respect. But demanding respect while pissing on another's treasured symbols? Like we say, fuck off.

  I have found I don't miss it. As a matter of fact I have replaced the old sitting on my ass watching pro sports with other activities. I will never go back. I have spoken to many many people who feel the same way I do so it has to be effecting the viewership at some level, probably not enough to do serious damage or send a harsh message that would change the behavior of these multimillionaire, broke after three years out of the league, jerks. Football players more than any other athlete owe the country a hell of a lot for their opportunities. .

  it was pretty cool to see the dolphins do so much for social justice and then try to snatch cam newton's chain after the game.
  
  
  not a dry eye in the stadium iirc.
