The NFL viewership and attendance is declining. So, let's alienate a large percentage of the population. Genius.

Only people who could possibly feel alienated are bigots. Good riddance!

That's right. Bigot, racist , homophobe,....

This is going to cost the NFL and it's players hundreds of millions of dollars potentially. They are already having to pay $200 million back because ratings are not up to contract requirements. Congratulations.

Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys for $140M in 1989; they are worth $4.8 Billion today. So what's a $200M decline in TV revenues?

OTOH, your buddy and our fearless leader was too cheap (or could not qualify) and bought NJ Generals of WFL instead, and then lost a ton of money till the league folded. So there is some serious Billionaire envy & resentment going on here.

He's not my buddy. Half the shit he says would be better unsaid.

But, I still don't understand why over paid athletes grand stand over something that they are going to have zero affect on and lose a shit load of money in the process.

I guess you're too simple to understand people standing up against hatred, bigotry and police targeting of certain ethnicities, then.

The still play the game they are being paid to play aren't the?

Why take a stand on anything if that's the attitude?
