NFL and other entities that kowtow to lib blackmail should also feel the financial hit of a deplorables' boycott.

Your post makes zero sense whatsoever. First off, news flash, he's not there anymore.
Second, I know you know that the Bay is one of the most liberal places in the country. So, by that logic the stadium should be overflowing with with America Hating (TM) liberals, yes?

Or, maybe the well-known slow decline in interest in the NFL thanks to years of them turning a blind eye towards things like: beating up your wife/fiance (Ray Rice), cheating to get into the Super Bowl (Deflate-gate), rehiring a blood-sport dog-fighting slimebag (Mike Vic), and the growing concussion scandal might be finally catching up to them.

I have no respect for a league that hands out worse punishments for not properly saluting the flag than it does for all the above listed horrible behavior; maybe America is slowly waking up that reality, too. Oh, that and maybe people are finding something better to do with 3 hours of their time than watch 15 minutes of real action in a 1-hour game be dragged out as long as possible.

If anything every does kill football in America, it'll be the actions of the NFL itself, not because of "dirty liberals."

The dailycaller used the early shots when folk were still in work , leaving work and arriving.

so what we have is a lie.


1 they sold almost all seats for an early start mid week and weAk lineup.

2 why are Trumpers always so anxious to play the victim? it is weird how upset you guys get over the smallest issues. there are always fresh tears before the last ones have even dried ..
Yet another lie.

When will it end?



Either people are getting paid for posting lies or they are tickled at appearing ignorant.

Hmmm?

Charger game attendance was much worse and a stadium half that size.

Well the 49ers game was about half full yesterday?
Probably not all do to politics, but still it is crazy, look at the empty seats.

I think you may be onto something.

1. It can't be popular forever. Every game and sport has its ups and downs.
2. Political activism in the NFL. From the talk radio, to the espn news to the players siting for the national anthem. Fans are tired of it all, and just go watch college football.
3. Over time the game has been torn down to safety, to over flag happy no plays ever stick.
4. You have the right to protest the American Flag but you dont have right to dance in the endzone?
Fine them for everything in that stadium.
This is somewhat of a repost, but it is worth repeating since I ran into a few more of those types recently who hate Kaepernick like he's the worst person ever, but they apologize for everything from Trump to Deflate-gate.

Again, here's what the League supports by their own actions:
- Mike Vic = bloodsport dog fighter. Rehired by the NFL after his stint in prison, thus saying it's OK to be a sociopath who watches dogs kill each for fun.
- Ray Rice = Punches out his fiance. League tried to ignore until the video came out, and then slapped him on the wrist. So, it's OK to be a thug - just stand for the anthem.
- Deflate-gate = cheating is OK, too. Again, just stand for the anthem.
- Concussion scandal = having your brain turned to mush for the entertainment of the job is also OK. Again, just stand and act patriotic.

And those are just the issues I can think of off the top of my head. It's a stupid joke, and maybe some Americans are realizing that a League that protects thugs but punishes people for not "acting patriotic enough" is not one worth supporting and, honestly, sounds more like something out of the USSR than the USA. Finally, there are better things to do with your time than watch 15 minutes of real action in a 1 hour game be dragged out over 3 hours.

OK. How about we take a look at San Diego?..

An excuse will be made for that, too.
No. The NFL is being destroyed by many things and kneeling is just one.

Maybe watching thugs and criminals giving each other brain injuries isn't as much fun as it used to be. Who knows?
