Pretty sad that football is played once per week and they can't fill the stadium to at least appear sold out.
Games are on Sunday, Monday night and Thursday night. So not once a week. I don't know any stadium that isn't full. Which teams are you talking about that don't fill a stadium

A week ago, San Fran and Rams had less people combined than the Texas-USC game did.

The Rams were originally from Missouri. They keep moving around so no one cares about them. Why not ask the Steeler, Patriots, and Redskins fans.... etc. Their stadiums are full
Conservatives and other non-liberals started to tune out a few years back as the games became more politicized with Bob Costas types forcing their opinions on a audience that tuned in for football.
I personally don't care about people not standing for athem although it is silly given they are paid millions to play a game that isn't possible in other countries.
It's all out there for public consumption. The discussions could rage on forever. The business grew exponentially. Medical and legal infiltrated the business, not like the old days of underpaid players who clobbered each other. The fight for balance of profit and player safety and public interest and rules/legal in recent years has been as much of a %$^# show as our recent political climate. People have grown weary of the witch hunts by the league, the loss of loyalty on both sides (player and team), and other factors. And to boot the ticket prices are outrageous for live events. There's more crap with replays and refs and what's a penalty versus what used to be good old fashioned knock your block off football. It's tough.
Not caring what other fans feel, but I have been lucky to be a Pats fan (I became a full time fan when Steve Grogan became QB). I suffered through the laughing stock years like Browns fans have in recent years. Others can scream cheat, system, whatever. I don't care, because as a fan I've had a lot to cheer about. And I've been on the biggest defensive side of fandom, as the Pats have had a target on their helmets and have been a soap opera story during the Brady/Belichick era. A couple of Gates, a GOAT, lots of postseason success. I can tune out all that I think is big time negative and a turn off because of being the fan of a dynasty team.
I didn't say exclusive. However, the majority that I know are the conservative/pro-'merica/pro-anthem/pickup driving/military supporting, Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor types. These same people can afford to go to multiple games and buy a lot of NFL apparel/junk for themselves and their kids. The NFL will be in trouble if these people start turning their backs in large numbers.
Same as if the City slickers I know who live where I live stop buying their season tickets and all the apparel for themselves and their kids . I have liberal nfl friends and family in Jersey, NY, Conn and Philly. Liberals can afford all the same junk conservatives waste money on. The NFL can't survive with just Trump supporters and racists buying stuff.

Good. The Niners suck. Why spend money on a garbage team. I stopped going to Knicks and Nets games for that reason. I'm not going to spend that kind of money on a poor product.

you know there are 32 teams in the NFL........having 5 or even 10 teams having their stadiums full is NOT going to cut it since the NFL is shared revenue league with all 32 teams.
