The raw data shows that when asked, “What has changed about your relationship with the NFL?” 80 percent said they will watch less football on TV because of the controversy and more than 53 percent said they are more supportive of Trump since his remarks last month that the protests are disrespectful to the U.S., its flag and the men and women in the military and law enforcement who sacrifice to protect all Americans.
Yahoo Finance said of its poll:
“In our survey, we wanted to suss out whether the anthem flap could deal a lasting financial hit to the NFL. The answers suggest it could. When we asked fans if the controversy would make them more or less supportive of the NFL, 71% said less and only 15% said more. Of those who said they are now less supportive, 74% said their change of heart was permanent, and only 3% said they felt it was temporary.” Devastating Poll for NFL: 80 Percent Say They
I'm sure liberals will claim that Yahoo is now a biased source and that the majority still agree with them, in spite of reality.
Rush Limbaugh on NFL anthem controversy: 'The left has hijacked this game'
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh weighed in Thursday on the ongoing furor over NFL players kneeling during "The Star-Spangled Banner," telling Fox News' "Hannity" that "the left has hijacked this game."
The point of a PUBLIC protest is to attract attention to self. Making a 'Letter To The Editor' with your name on the letter is another way. Using your social eminence, like celebrities often do, to express your opinions is another way. All in all, it is about attracting attention to you.
Your argument is contradictory: Am making a pubic protest but I do not want you to look at me.
That make no sense.
I realize the point of a public protest is to draw attention. However, that does not mean you have to give them your attention. During the 1.5 minutes that the anthem is playing, you could instead be giving your attention to the flag. No one is forcing you to look at the players while your attention should be elsewhere.

This is dishonest on your part. So I will clarify for the readers: MILLIONS ARE DEMANDING THAT THE PLAYERS/PROTESTERS STOP DOING IT INSIDE THE STADIUM.
Lol.

Money talks and for these professional capitalists -- they will stop.
The only professional NFL game I attended was the 1986 exhibition game in Wembley Stadium, UK, with the Bears and Cowboys. I was stationed at RAF Upper Heyford at that time.
The only somewhat 'political' speech we saw was someone, presumably an American, who had a sign that read 'Mike Ditka For President'.
No, if I paid that much for me and my family to a game, political expressions would not be the last thing I want to see, but would be a thing I do not want to see AT ALL.
No one is putting these players/protesters inside remote 'free speech zones'.
In reality, the stadium is a unique zone catering to unique audiences with unique tastes. All we are asking is to keep your political speech to yourself while inside this small area of America for a couple of hrs. Then once you are outside this small zone and into the larger America, speak and we will listen.
Explain why is this unreasonable.
You can do what you want. Watch...it's going to expand into the NBA.
The left didn't hijack the game. Trump is the one who started it with the "son of a bltch" comment. Trump likes to play identity politics and divide people by race or beliefs. It's an Alt-Right strategy created by Steve Bannon, and even though he's gone, Trump is continuing with it.
