I am mostly just tired of the bitterness and foolishness.

I never thought I'd see conservative America become titty baby victims. "Immigrants stole my jobs!" "the millionaired wont stand!!" "reverse racism... Waahhhh"

The worst part is most people in these threads are over 50 years old. Sad.

You didn't watch an America with a professional leftist grievance culture....... hierarchy of victims......."hate speech" whatever the frick that is.....EVERYTHING is bigotry.......

And figure at some point, that would create a backlash?

You didn't figure ruining one person after another for violations of our new speech codes while simultaneously allowing completely vile shite to about non protected groups to be said and literally be called "education" and expect a backlash?

shite. I've seen this coming for 20 years

This season has been a lot of fun, I feel sorry for people who take this shite too seriously.


It likely has nothing to do with people taking it too seriously; in my case I just became disinterested in the NFL. I would just rather not have to endure all the politics and the commentary. So I just don’t bother to watch it. I don’t feel like i’m Protesting or boycotting or taking a stand, I just avoid it , I don’t bother to watch it, it’s not an escape for me if I have to hear about all these political and social issues while trying to enjoy sports.

Your numbers are BS, the Saints game yesterday was reported as a sell out, which it may have been, but there were in my estimation at least 5 to 6 K empty seats in the dome.

LSU baseball has over 11,000 seats sold for every game even if there are 3 thousand in the stands attendance is over 11,000. Attendance numbers don't reflect actual asses in seats. People bought their Saints tickets before the flag protest began.

Basically. Watching sports infused with politics is like getting a blow job from your wife while you are on the phone with her mother bitching at you about your career choices.

Please elaborate as this sounds like oft repeated pablum. How is it poorly managed? What is the difference between now and, say, 2013, 2014 and 2015?

you're probably right. Still. The negative trend even in the announced numbers tends to reflect your observations

Frankly. I think viewers are the nfl problem

There it is. And only the beginning. It remains to be seen just how far Right the pendulum will swing. Mexico is going to hell, and that will play a big role.

Kind of easy to see it coming when you are the quintessential conservative victim...

haven't attended or watched a game all year. I am over it and don't care if others go or not. I have found much better uses of my time on Sundays than watch mental midgets protesting.


Yep - my Sundays are sooo much better without the NFL - thank you players for taking the knee

Still laughing at anyone who believes the Green Bay pics are protest related.

How about post some from teams with winning records.

I've been to Saints games with less than 30,000 people in the dome. Of course nothing to do with protests.

Well it was the only group who wasn't being pandered to, since blacks, hispanics, figs, freaks, muslims etc etc were already taken

Is this your defense?

Even after being shown photos of teams with rabid fan bases?

You guys broke the NFL! Congrats. You let your identity politics get in the way of sports. Congrats.

Btw I love the NFL’s new commercials about how much they admire and love our military!

Seems desperate!



Bunch of cucks.

There is literally no commentary at the games about it.
It wasn't evena big issue until Trump tweeted about it.
Then they started televising all the anthems.
I member when only the anthem at the Superbowl was televised.

All these people saying politics are being shoved down their throats are actively looking for the protestors, just so they can seem patriotic by being upset.

If Trump and the media didn't make this an issue it wouldn't be one.
