Awesome!!!

How is that tax funded stadium in Vegas working out?

May as well skip a step and just start the permanent flea market in the parking lot right now. Used Car Stereos, used Prom dresses, and cheap knives galore. "I sell you 2 paintings -- almost free"

As my Dad used to say "They're shitting in their own nest".

On another note locally Cowboys AT&T stadium is offering take home concession food to eat while watching the game...at stadium prices of course.

The low ratings are because of the Rona - nothing to do with all the virtue signaling and support for violent rioters.....

I'm hoping one day I'll get to see them panic.

That number is astounding and possibly inflated because fans were starved for football with the lack of a a preseason. I was a massive fan and even I don't want to turn it on now that it is here. I hope the numbers drop even more.

Isn't add revenue based on ratings?

Yes, and that's the only hope for turning this around.

Ratings MUST decline so that the TV contracts paid to the NFL go down which will mean less money going to the teams, which will mean decreasing contracts paid to players. When/if that ever happens you will see an immediate change and begging for fans like you've never seen before.

But it will take time and discipline. Every ticket bought, every eyeball watching, every piece of NFL branded merchandise bought prolongs their nonsense. Bad ratings on a game here and there won't do it - it will require a full season long decline to have any impact.

I haven't read through all zillion pages to see if this was previously mentioned or not. If it has please delete it.

I'm still pissed at the NFL over the 2016 event when the Dallas Cowboys wanted to wear a patch honoring the 5 Police Officers who were murdered in an ambush.

Here's a link to the story: Screw The NFL Link

Published August 12, 2016
NFL denies Cowboys' request to wear decal honoring fallen Dallas officers

The NFL denied the Dallas Cowboys’ request to wear a decal on their helmets during the season that would have paid tribute to the five police officers killed last month in an ambush.
The team had been wearing a decal with the words “Arm in Arm” since the first day of training camp this summer. Dallas police Chief David Brown and Mayor Mike Rawlings paid the team a visit on that day, according to Fox 4 News.

The NFL’s strict rules on uniforms forced the league to deny the Cowboys’ request to wear the decal for the upcoming season.

Dallas police said it appreciated the Cowboys’ support.

“Their concern for the families of our fallen officers, the Dallas Police Department, and the City of Dallas is what matters most, and we know that support will continue for the immediate and long term future,” the department said in a statement.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and tight end Jason Witten, who created the decal, said they were disappointed with the league’s decision but said they believed the stickers already served its purpose.

The Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation told TMZ they were “extremely upset” over the NFL’s decision.

"The NFL had an opportunity to be leaders and advocates for change in law enforcement," Sgt. Demetrick Pennie, president of the foundation, told the website. “"These are our friends and our loved ones ... it hurts to not have the NFL fully support us.”

Meanwhile in small town Tennessee...

The local High School salutes First Responders and Law Enforcement by having members of the PD, SO, and EMS on field for the coin toss prior to Friday night football.

Time most of all.

I think a lot of companies are riding this woke train and will be willing to continue to advertise with pro sports teams for a little while.

Someone remind me again how many NFL players ran into the twin towers to help with evacuations....

How many felons, rapists, murderers and miscreants ran in as well...

This is worth a watch because it's laid out well.

I graduated from high school in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Needless to say I have/had a loyalty to the green and gold. My father was manager of the phone company and had access to all the games and got me tickets any time I wanted them. It wasn't a big deal then.

These were the days of Starr, Nitchke, Lombardi, Horning and other hall of famers. A few of them volunteered to speak to our youth groups. They were cool guys. I would run into the players in stores and they would always visit.

That was then. I have no desire to watch any longer. I have thrown away most of my Packer gear and will dump the rest of it before long. This isn't the NFL I grew up with.

What part of SJW people sucks, do some people not understand?

"The booing during that moment was unfortunate. I don't fully understand that," said Texans defensive end J.J. Watt. "There was no flag involved. There was nothing involved other than two teams coming together to show unity."

BOOED FOR DISPLAYING UNITY! Shouldn’t be any fans at any games if that’s the case. Men out here sacrificing they life for your entertainment and you boo them for trying to do what is right. Smdh

Sacrificing "they life" for our entertainment. Really? When did the NFL becoming The Running Man?

I'll admit that I tried to watch the first game. I love football and without the Big 10, I truly miss it. Did you note I said tried to watch the first game? I couldn't tell if it was a football game or a BLM rally. By Half time I was fed up and went to bed.

Clueless. These people have no damned clue. The fans are tired of being preached to, tired of being called racist, tired of being called a piece of shit, and tired of seeing the country they love shit on.

Clueless idiots. Get your heads out of your asses.
