OK, so the Administration's supporters are furious at NFL players for protesting "on the job" (while blatantly, willfully misrepresenting the subject of the demonstrations). The VP, while on the job, with expenses to taxpayers in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, protests the protestors. And they are OK with that.
And why shouldn't we be OK with that? Protesting is not a one way street. If you don't want to stand up for our Country; then there is no reason for us to stand up or pay for you!
As far as "while blatantly, willfully misrepresenting the subject of the demonstrations": people (workers) always have something to complain about. If you want to turn a game into a mud slinging contest; that's not entertainment. These 'players' are forgetting their primary objective and it is easy for the fans to forget their primary objective.
Not seeing a drop off at Buffalo Wild Wings or in chit chat at work doesn't mean there's no drop off. NFL revenue is about $12 BILLION/year so even just a 8% drop in viewership/buying/enthusiasm could mean close to $1 billion in lost revenue. 8% in terms of people at Buffalo Wild Wings would mean there's 184 people instead of 200. Noticeable? Probably not.
Well the effects wouldn't effect season ticket sales this year, many resold or burnt their ticlets so the NFL got their money and laughing all the way to the bank.

A drop in the bucket I'm sure but those season ticket holders probably still spend a lot of money at games and buy a lot of merchandise for themselves/children. I don't think the NFL wants it becoming more popular or being anti-NFL to be synonymous with being pro-America.

Game to game, I'm not sure. My father owns tickets and doesn't really buy popcorn or drinks at games. He tailgates though... I don't think he ever got any shirts at games.
It's feels nice to say 'when everyone is treated equally' - but what does that really mean?
