2BobTannerObviously, the teams are counting the season ticket holders as # in attendance. It’ll be interesting to see how next season’s ticket sales go, as that’ll be the real indicator of popularity.

They know. They have to know. You can't sell 50-60% less food and alcohol and not have someone knocking down the door of your management looking for answers. You buy 100,000 hot dogs and all of a sudden you're only selling 30k?
They know.

Yet Roger Goodell still has a job, and is negotiating for an even bigger contract extension. I have no idea what they're waiting for, but the team owners are doing nothing to address the issues that are smacking them in the check book, nor are they moving to change NFL leadership at the top. If they're just trying to wait this out, it isn't working.

Will they unbolt the seats for you, or do you need to bring your own tools to their going out of business sale?
December 04, 2017, 12:05 PM
justjoeWait until they pull a Jeb Bush and start paying people to fill the seats. My guess is next October. In November they will add two free hotdogs.

AirmanJeffI just can't wait for this next CBA and the player strike that will likely result.
December 04, 2017, 02:02 PM
justjoeThe owners offered to donate
$90 MILLION to "social justice" causes if the players would just stop kneeling during the anthem. And the players turned it down. Hahahaha. Take that, you pussies!
http://www.americanthinker.com...acularly_fails_.htmlThe mistake was offering to donate it to social justice causes-- which the players don't give a shit about, really-- rather than, say, holding a "Stand Up Lottery."
Their contracts are signed, they are getting paid, they don't care about empty seats. They love the fantasy that they are heroes in a war against racism.

JALLENI remember going to Charger games in the mid-70's with ~15,000 in the stands and all of them booing. Sit anywhere you wanted.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown December 08, 2017, 10:32 AM

Sports come ... and sports go. Look at lawn darts.

In public education in CA, much of private education here, "social justice" is a synonym for "hate America".

rsboloBut the NFL is too big to fail, right?
Isn't it interesting to see the results of biting the hand that feeds you?
Ha ha!
