NFL is getting hammered... half empty stadiums?

I've already seen the post saying they don't want or need Trump supporters. So be it.

I won't be watching NFL in this house this season.

Poor little snowflakes can't handle a little free expression and a person kneeling quietly is too upsetting? Do we need to provide grief counselors?

Or, maybe it is something else. I don't know what is driving the numbers.
We simply refuse to financially support ungrateful, America-hating spoiled brats, but we defend your right to do so.

Most people don't want a bunch of spoiled millionaires telling us what a shitty country we live in.

You may need send the counselors to NFL locker rooms..........Kput lost $114million and may need your counselors........

BTW: many with felony criminal records, send lawyers as well

Yes, as I noted, the NFL has been experiencing poor attendance for some time. Again, do you think this is a new phenomena? It is not. NFL attendance has been declining since the late 90's. Speculation is that it's due to a combination of Internet streaming and the high costs associated with game attendance. The real question is whether the fan base (and associated revenue through commercials that play during televised games and accompany on-line watching, paraphernalia sales, such as jerseys, etc.) is also declining. With all the adverse health effects of playing the sport, I'd not be sorry to see it go. I read an article recently about how the numbers of parents who were allowing their boys to play in Pop Warner and high school is also declining. Perhaps it's time for the sport to end.

Well, sports minded kids will just move on to a different sport. But I wouldn't be sad to see football go, even though I played it a lot as a kid. We didn't play tackle though, since we played in the street.

Awesome! They deserve it.
Corporations are slowly learning that preaching social justice isn't good for business.

The Ghostbusters movie found this out. When it tanked and was rated as horrible, the SJW cast and media called anyone who didn't like it a sexist. Like, it's not possible it just wasn't a good movie, and left the "ghostbusters" theme on the background in the name of the boring narrative that hey, they're women! Yea! Women!... um... Yeah! Women!

The Sports media is full of it, and ESPN is not doing well. Jamele Hill was in hot water recently for calling Trump a white supremacist. Oddly, she still has her job, based on the standard that Curt Schilling also said something edgy, but he's a conservative. Of course, he was fired. Oh, and Rush Limbaugh was fired for merely suggesting Donovan McNabb was continued to be lofted as top QB in the league even though his performance dropped off dramatically. That seems rather tame to Hill's outright blasting. But then again, the blast was against Trump, and Hill is black, meaning she's mostly incapable of being wrong in these instances. If she was fired (which she won't be, ESPN agrees with her), the left would have outright called for a massive boycott.

The entire SJW movement is nothing but telling everyone what's wrong with them. You're white, so you can't use your brain, you have no idea about anything about race. You're a man, you don't know anything about sexism. You're straight, you don't know anything about homosexuality or being transgender. It's all so malicious, so insulting. Basically just a constant of barrage of "you're a stupid-head".

Yeah, that's not going to grab consumers.

As for the NFL, there's many things that are contributing to it's "fall", but I wouldn't call it that just yet. There's a decline, but you can't keep a positive trend of data forever. There are certainly some empty stadiums, many in Los Angeles, who just got two teams back. However, it seems LA doesn't care much overall about football.

Meanwhile, you have the leftist movement against football, saying that it causes CTE. I'm open to the discussion, but the proof is always so vague. It's always "they showed SIGNS of CTE". Well, I can guarantee you that even though I never played football, I would show "signs" of CTE. What are "signs"? Couldn't even the smallest shake produce a "sign"? It reeks of an activist plot against football. I look forward to objective anaylsis, if it's possible.

It is time for the sport to end. Mostly for medical reasons.

Bless you all
The Liberal snowflakes say they deserve to protest and disrespect our nation and do so by inserting their insanity into every public space/organization or activity. Okay, fine, you're well within your right. But do understand, that there is a correlated right for us to voice that we no longer attend, fund/pay or watch the organizations or companies that sponsor your disruptive hissy-fits.

Ain't America great!

CTE can only definitively be diagnosed post-mortem. But during a PM, it can be diagnosed. I'm not sure why you'd call it a "leftist movement" against football, can you specify why you think that? It's a scientific inquiry and football is not the only cause. Right now every ballistic military weapon we test, we test not only for standard things like CEP or aiming accuracy or mission-appropriateness, but also for over-pressure because ballistic over-pressure is believed to contribute to TBI and CTE. The Army is particularly concerned about this because TBI is occurring with alarming frequency even in Soldiers who have not been concussed by IEDs. That investigation is also not a "leftist movement."
