The only people saying they aren't going to tune in or go to the games on my Facebook feed are the ones watching the games. Literally had one friendpost something about boycotting then next day they were posting from the stadium.

[florige]

There were a bunch of idiots here in Maryland burning their Ravens jerseys and destroying their Ravens gear all over social media yesterday. A few of them said they were giving up their Ravens season tickets but were not going to sell them so the league could see their seats empty. Morons.

[Spurminator]

Who knows, this may actually end up being great PR for the NFL to bring back fans whose viewership/attendance lapsed over concussion concerns.

“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking.
The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country.
Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

[Pavlov]

OK, Chris -- what penalties do you think the teams will asses themselves after this weekend?

Let's start with the Steelers.

“The worst SNF has performed this season so far, that’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s Atlanta Falcon’s 34-23 win over the Green Bay Packers. Gaining cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of SNF for the 2017-2018 season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016.“

“I do not think the place to express yourself in society is as we recognize the American flag,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone last week at a gala celebrating the 100-year anniversary of Forbes magazine, prior to Trump's comments. “So that’s not the place to do anything other than honor the flag and everybody that’s given up a little bit for it."

http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2017/09/24/nfls-dallas-cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-weighs-in-on-anthem-protests.html

I just feel so strongly that the act of recognizing the flag is a salute to our country and all of the people that have sacrificed so that we can have the liberties we have," Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan, via The Dallas Morning News.

"I feel very strongly that everyone should save that moment for the recognition of the flag in a positive way, so I like the way the Cowboys do it."

"I got to give a big pat on the back to our entire team, our coaching staff, our entire organization," Jones said Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan's Shan and RJ show [KRLD-FM]. "We strongly, strongly support the flag. In every way, we support -- it's almost ridiculous to be saying it -- the people that for generations and generations have given it all up so we can get out here and show off in front of millions of people on television. We respect that so much. That's the real business.

"The forum of the NFL and the forum on television is a very significant thing. I'm for it being used in every way we can to support the great, great contributors in our society and that's people that have supported America, the flag, and there's no reason not to go all out right there. For anybody to use parts of that visibility to do otherwise is really disappointing."

Unconfirmed does not mean false. Snopes and every other propaganda piece can "debunk" or "theorize" all they want. :lol Jones clearly is not siding with Kaepernick or anyone else who kneels no matter how you want to nitpick it.

[monosylab1k]

Jerry Jones never once has said "if you take a knee, you're fired!" which is the fake news being pushed. moving the goalposts to ":cry he doesn't side with Kaepernick, stop nitpicking" is pretty sad.

Even if Jerry Jones did say that, let's see Zeke or Dak take a knee :lmao Jerreh would backtrack on those comments faster than Chris backtracking out of the living room when Daddy puts on Rachel Maddow.

On Monday, CBS Sports said its overall NFL game coverage on Sunday was up 4% in comparison to last week’s numbers.

But, NBC Sports told TIME Sunday night’s ratings were down about 10% from last week. And Fox Sports also saw ratings drop for afternoon games so far this year, falling 16% Sunday in comparison to the same time last year.

^Moving goalposts per par; how apropos considering the subject.You sure are trying to move the goalposts per par.

There was a protest.

No one was fired.

There was no conversation with Abbott.

Jerrah joined in.

[Pavlov]

And he couldn't fire anyone for that anyway. Collective bargaining agreement wouldn't allow it.

Chris boi...

Ya geetn hammered.

[Pavlov]

Furthermore, Abbot never even claimed to have spoken to Jones about this. He just tweeted a link to a conservative shitpost that cited a fake tweet some douche posted trying to impress James Woods. :lmao

Deadline reports:


In metered market numbers, the primetime match-up between the 27-10 winning Washington Redskins and the Oakland Raiders snared an 11.6/20.

The worst Sunday Night Football has performed this season so far, that’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s Atlanta Falcon’s 34-23 win over the Green Bay Packers. Gaining cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of SNF for the 2017-2018 season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016.

Last night’s Sunday Night Football peaked with a 12.5/20 during the second quarter at 9 – 9:30 PM ET. Not that such a number can feel good to the NFL with ratings down double-digits this season so far after taking a similar tackle last year.

[ducks]

Last night’s Cowboys-Cardinals game was easily the most-watched Monday night game of the season so far, and through four games Monday Night Football ratings are up over last season.

Cowboys-Cardinals got a 9.3 overnight rating for ESPN, easily the highest-rated Monday night game of the year. That came despite some talk that the controversy surrounding players kneeling during the national anthem would depress NFL ratings.

Monday Night Football is up year to date over the 2016 average.

While the anthem protest might have spiked ratings, the trend towards NFL viewership does seem to point downward.

According to the Chicago Tribune:


Sunday afternoon NFL games averaged 16.04 million viewers for the first two weeks of this season, down 11 percent from the 18.1 million people who watched during the same period last year, the Nielsen company said. There was little change for NBC's first two Sunday night games: 22.2 million this year, down slightly from 22.9 million in 2016. For the first three “Monday Night Football” games shown on ESPN, viewership slipped 5 percent from the 11.79 million last year to 11.23 million this year, Nielsen said.

[Pavlov]

So the protests are actually helping ratings during a general downward trend.

Maybe some NASCAR owners should rethink their hard stance against protests.

[InRareForm]

less annoying people at games, that is fine with me

[SnakeBoy]

Wow.

Thats a horroble look for the governor.

Thank you fellow Texans.

You're welcome.
