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?Awesome! They deserve it.

Or, maybe it is something else. I don't know what is driving the numbers.

Link? Apparently NFL attendance has been declining for some time, so that's not due to the current controversy. Do you have something that says it is due to the current controversy? Otherwise, this is old news.Awesome! They deserve it.

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.
Then go ahead and admit yours.We can't move forward unless we admit we have a problem.

We don't have a problem. Except blanket acceptance of a false narrative.We can't move forward unless we admit we have a problem.
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.Read were some high schools banned football....................good, now they can study
Corporations are slowly learning that preaching social justice isn't good for business.Awesome! They deserve it.

At least you understood exactly what I was talking about.We don't have a problem. Except blanket acceptance of a false narrative.
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."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.
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.
