THE END OF THE NFL? LATEST SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDAL IS ONE THE LEAGUE CANNOT IGNORE

quote:

It seems unimaginable that Sundays in America wouldn't be devoted to the NFL...

It do?

Nah, I'm good, thanks.

Take it down.

I'm waiting for all of the women that will claim that they were forced to have sex with players or were assaulted by players.

Another nail in the coffin.


The NFL anthem protests have sought to destroy much of what Americans hold dear: pride in what our country truly stands for, and reverence for those who fought to preserve it.
However, while they failed to destroy those sacred things, the protests do appear to have had more success destroying other things that Americans hold dear: like pizza and chicken wings.

Only months after Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter blamed the NFL’s mishandling of the anthem crisis for plummeting pizza sales, a downturn in chicken wing prices has prompted a company called Sanderson Farms, to wonder whether the league’s weekly protests have hurt wings sales.

During a conference call on Thursday, Joe F. Sanderson Jr, CEO of Sanderson Farms, expressed concern at the current state of the chicken wing market.

“The only thing puzzling me right now is wings,” Sanderson said during the meeting.

In a phone interview after the meeting, Sanderson explained, “It’s just been reported to us that some of our customers think that their traffic is down because of the demonstrations by some of the NFL players.”

According to Bloomberg:

Wings had a banner year for much of 2017, boosting profits at processors like Sanderson. But spot prices slumped in each of the last three months and are now 14 percent lower than a year earlier, according to one U.S. government measure. Amid the NFL dispute, it’s unclear where prices are headed from here, Sanderson Jr. said.

Food sellers have differing views on how much impact player protests during the national anthem at NFL games have had on revenue. Last month, Papa John’s International Inc. said the NFL flap was hammering pizza sales, but Wingstop Inc. said it hadn’t seen any impact from waning football viewership.

While there are likely several explanations for the drop in chicken wing prices, one cannot dismiss that the chart clearly shows a steep, dramatic drop in prices at the start of the NFL season.

In fact, it looks like prices consistently rose from March all the way up to September and then fell at a far greater rate than they had climbed. Other than the start of the NFL season, which should have been a good time for chicken wing sales, what else happened that would have caused such a precipitous decline?

That kind of dramatic decline might be best explained by recalling the events of late September of this year. Remember, it was in late September, Week 3 of the NFL season to be exact, when over 200 NFL players, coaches, and executives; protested in some form or fashion after President Trump publicly criticized the NFL anthem protesters.

After that weekend of protest, the NFL saw huge declines in ticket sales, attendance, and ratings. So why wouldn’t it follow that the fan backlash would ultimately effect the foods that most fans eat when they watch football?

After all, less football would seem to mean you would eat less football food, right?

Here’s a chart, which shows the dive in chicken wing prices over the course of the year:

As much as I'm rooting for NFL to really feel the financial consequences of this protest nonsense, I'm not holding my breath waiting for them to go out of business. Unfortunately there is still a vast population of people who are so apathetic that this barely registers for them. They just wanna watch them some football. But I do think the current sexual harassment hysteria could be an even bigger problem for them. Let's hope at least.

My last comment was directed at the story about the team owners extending the commissioners contract when he is the one running the league into the ground.

And you see them in the stands. There just aren't that many of them. TV ratings show a similar drop off.

The kneeling is just the latest focus on what is wrong with the NFL. Thug culture creeped in slowly over the past couple of decades. Players flashing gang signs. Involved in violent crimes. Then basically giving America the finger was the last straw.

He can make it happen.

Actually, no, he cannot:

But despite Diddy’s desires, he might come into problems buying the team. According to The New York Daily News, the Panthers team is worth $120 million more than the mogul’s total net value. NFL teams also normally sell for more than their reported value

He's not buying jack shit. All this is, is racist grandstanding from someone who feels left out. That's why I call this pathetic. The guy knows that he's not buying a damn thing, can't even afford it, and if he could manage it, he'd be leveraged beyond recovery.

Just more grandsatnding from yet another racist who thinks he's some kind of progressive savior.

Does the NFL have a rent to own program?

I would LOVE it if Diddy bought Carolina and promptly destroyed it with his ego and stupidity.

Ain't gonna happen and he knows it and that's why he's talking shit- because he knows it will never amount to anything.

NFL ownership is a closed shop. A new owner must be voted in by the majority of existing owners. It takes more than money.

Sean Combs doesn't have the cash or the votes.

Too bad for Kapperwhatever. It's the only way he's gonna get signed, and it just ain't gonna happen.

On the bright side, Kapperbitch has all the time in the world to work on his giant hair.

Maybe put in some supports and make his 'fro even bigger. Now that's something to aspire to. If Soul Train is still on the air, he has a second career coming up...

Surprised he hasn't started a GoFundMe for it. Hahahahhahaha

Oh, if he garners sufficient interest from like-deluded in-duh-viduals, I would not be surprised if he doesn't eventually go that way. Or something like it.

I hope he goes for it. I think it'd be amusing to watch (Particularly if he actually succeeded in buying the team.)

Isn’t the Panther QB already another brother?

^^^This. Its truly amazing that a fool like 'Diddy' (i.e. someone as woefully lacking in mental capacity as most NFL players) doesn't recognize how blessed he is to be a millionaire for essentially hocking junk to other nitwits.

This is all about attention. Diddy is the attention whore's attention whore, who I personally think doesn't believe a word of what he's spouting. It did however get him attention which I believe was his primary goal.

I'm rooting for Ditty, he can only speed the NFL's demise....
