Yes it has, you are just not paying attention yet.

I expect new RULES any day now .... tackling a Black player will get a White player thrown out of the game and Reparations to the Black player. It’s just that Nutty.

Football won't suffer. People watch because of the play. Isn't that why you watch. Why do we care what they do before the game. You really underestimate the football fans. They just want to watch the game. And during these stressful times we really need sports.

I'm done with the NFL. And I personally know of others that are done, too.

Marxism is evil, and all of this gets right back to Marxism.

One of the more interesting aspects of the pandemic shut downs is that a great many people realized they really didn’t need sports after all. The timing of this is something else.

If fans can’t have football watching parties, tailgating, or experience going to the games, much of the fun and excitement has been eliminated.

BLM is a Marxist organization.

People can and will refuse to monetarily support any group that is all in for BLM the organization.

Have you read the thread about the Dallas Stars (not NFL I realize) saying they are losing season ticket holders because of their support for BLM?

No ticket buyers, no money.
TV ratings down, ad fees go down, they lose money.
People stop buying jerseys and beer, they lose money.

Because of the shut downs, people are learning to live without sports. They have more free time and they like it.

Athletes who are having hissy fits over the SJW stuff and their enablers are throwing it all away with both hands.

I don't think you understand sports or sports fans. 5- 10% will stop watching all together. 20 - 50% will watch less. It takes alot of energy to be a hard core fan. It's been getting harder the last 5 - 10 years to make that commitment because while the athleticism is amazing the execution of plays has declined and the player loyal to teams and fans has declined. Many fans have already been on the fence.

Why does it take a lot of energy to be a hard core fan? And no one is going to watch less except for Trump supporters I guess. My huge family are die hard football fans. Most are republicans and could care less about any of this. They just want to watch football.

Seems it is you who underestimates football fans. They are thinking adults and won't financially support pandering to a racist terrorist organisation.
