The NFL refused to acknowledge the fact that National Anthem protests are really cutting into their product. Now, to make matters worse, players are going to start taking their protests onto the field with them.
I love the NFL and have many fond memories of both games and friendship that revolves around it. These protests are ruining the game and the league is encouraging it by doing nothing to stop it.
I understand constitutional rights, but this is a business and the business is to put out a product that people want. If I work at McDonald's, I'm required to dress a certain way and treat customers a certain way. I may have constitutional right to speak my mind about the customers, but if my behavior jeopardizes their business, they are not required to employee me.
These protesting players are basically taking a big huge dump on my Big Mac and McDonald's is telling me that I have to like it and pay for it, and the media is telling me that if I don't like it then there is something wrong WITH ME!
The NFL should clamp down of this type of behavior. If you refuse to stand during the National Anthem, stay in the locker room. If you protest during the game, you will be fined. If you speak out during a post-game press conference while acting as an employee of the league, you will be fined. What you do on your own time off the field, that's your business.
The NFL refuses to do this so they are losing business.
I want to watch football to escape the politics, not to have it shoved back in my face.
Personally, I'm struggling with this because I love the NFL but I hate what they are allowing it to become.
The NFL has taken fans for granted for a long time. They yank people around nine ways from here to tomorrow.
Overpriced merchandise, crazy lawsuits against individuals just trying to watch the games in their own way, abusing taxpayer dollars to build private stadiums (which they could easily pay for themselves)---the list of their sins just grows and grows.
I admit I only watched the second half of TNF but it was entertaining. I would watch that over 98% of what's on TV these days. Just a thought... parking in CA is a bummer. I know a Rams season ticket owner and if they are not parked like 2 hours before the game the spot is sold. Go Broncos...
California simply lacks passionate fans. I know there are some, I'm speaking generally. They'll support winners but that is it. The Raiders have the best fan support out there and their leaving town. The NFL is going to regret having two teams move to LA. Moving the Niners 50 miles out of town wasn't a wise choice either.
Well the Constitution says you can't really stop them......which I guess is a good thing in the BIG Picture. I would never take a knee and I think it's shameful.
I think kneeling during the national anthem is shameful no matter who is in the White House, Trump has nothing to do with it. Why would you even say something like this or make this correlation?
I wasn't saying it has anything to do with it. I'm just saying Trump does a lot of shameful things, and you support him. Kap is just standing up for peoples' rights and you find him shameful. That's the correlation.
I don't think Trump does much that is shameful at all and that why I support him. Trump is 1000x better than any president we have had in last 20 years. I see no correlation what so ever. And why did you make my sports blog about the Broncos political in the first place douche bag?..... please unfollow me and go fuck yourself. You will never get an upvote from me for trying to make this a political post.when I never intended it to be. Kap wore a shirt praising Castro you moronic fool.....that's not standing up for people rights. Any player who kneels during the anthem INCLUDING ALL DENVER BRONCOS are shameful in my eyes.
Lol you had to know this topic was going to come up. You can get in your feelings if you want. It's all good. I aint mad atcha. Them Raiders are gonna wash the Broncos no matter who is president. Peace.
Did you see how many empty seats there were for the Chargers / Dolphins game? It has been a joke for some of these teams. Yet, ol' Roger Goodell is about ready to get paid big $$$!
The only one's at the 9'er game is the faithful, others do not want to watch a looser. Maybe some of them bandwagoned across the bay to the Raiders! LOLOL. The NFL will always make $$$ though, TV time and commercials will generate huge bucks.
Hey @broncnutz
I dont know about NFL fans...
But I'm big and crazy fan of broncos and specialy your...
And actualy I think football is never loose money and football is change and refresh my mind always.....
I really like and love football games...
Specially I always support broncos...
Hurrey.....go go go go...broncnos
Upvoted...
Cheers~~~~~~~
I think in the last few years, mixing politics in with football has hurt the crowds. Some embrace while others have turned away. The old days of everybody's welcome is not currently the policy of the NFL.
Congratulations@broncnutz

I think the move from Candlestick may have something to do with it, but there's still no excuse for a stadium to be that empty on a TNF division matchup game. Tough loss for Shanahan and the Niners last night
Success comes in a lot of ways, but it doesn't come with money and it doesn't come with fame. It comes from having a meaning in your life, doing what you love and being passionate
about what you do. That's having a life of success. When you have the ability to do what you love, love what you do and have the ability to impact people. That's having a life of success. That's what having a life of meaning is.
Bandwagon fans don't want to be seen when the team is struggling. I will never turn my back on my team, they can be 0-16 and I'll still be cheering my little ass off.
great post, football can never free cash , it's an approach to draw in more individuals . each good thing has falls and afterward conveys to rise,
upvoted and resteemed too.
Football can never loose money , it's a way to attract more people . Every good thing has falls and then brings to rise . We have die heart fans like you , it can never loose money totally :D
@broncnutz - Oh my goodness, I love this video and yes Sir, NFL ratings were dropped. But I think it looks like BTC drop Sir :) NFL fans are there, hope everything will be alright soon. Love your video Sir.
I get it with the traffic but if I could go to a Broncos game for 15.00 I would never miss one. Money is the only thing stopping me from spending every Sunday afternoon at Mile High forever....
I hear you brother I would too. Hey, did you end up getting one of those Steemit 1oz silver dollars from Phelimint? I'm thinking they might look good as a bolo tie.
Dan Patrick was talking about how he thinks the future could be to have legalized gambling only in the NFL stadium. They are looking at more ways to get people in the seats in the stadium.
I don't know if the NFL is losing money so much as wasting it on things that don't matter. Look at all the overpaid guys causing problems. Not to mention the ridiculous nonsense they do to keep younger viewers.

Maybe they need a little humility.

Too many teams there I think.
full football experience and full power @broncnutz
The NFL should never have let players take a knee during the national anthem. Do you think that might be why @broncnutz.
UPVOTED
Well the Constitution says you can't really stop them......which I guess is a good thing in the BIG Picture. I would never take a knee and I think it's shameful.
I think it's funny that you support Trump, but find Kap's actions shameful. To each his own I guess.

And the NFL did not "allow" him to kneel. They blacklisted him for it.
Lots of players are kneeling, Kap is out of this league because he sucks playing QB.
Did you see how many empty seats there were for the Chargers / Dolphins game? It has been a joke for some of these teams. Yet, ol' Roger Goodell is about ready to get paid big $$$!
They could not sell out 30k seats. The Blake Shelton concert I went to last week had more people.
I don't know about NFL fans..😐
But I'm big fan of you @broncnutz..😊
Nice effort and upvoted.. Cheers..
Hey thanks!

The Donks still fill it up!!!
We jam pack it, and the parking lot and every single seat in a bar around the stadium. A seat anywhere near our grass is hard to come by.
Nice video, well It's going to be tuff, nfl needs to expand internationally, upvoted and resteemed it to my followers too.

It's going to be tuff, we get the raiders in Las Vegas in a few years but nfl needs to expand internationally. 😎
This Niners game looked absolutely empty through the first half
No kidding man, it was embarrassing for 9ers fans. They have won 5 friggin Super Bowls!
I think the move from Candlestick may have something to do with it, but there's still no excuse for a stadium to be that empty on a TNF division matchup game. Tough loss for Shanahan and the Niners last night
Oh yeah, it's sad that this is happening now, but I'm sure that real football fans are still there and will always be. Thank you @broncnutz
good video @broncnutz

really empty how is that possible in NFL

Also, the games are early in San Fran and LA when they are on a Thursday nights and the traffic is super bad.
I get it with the traffic but if I could go to a Broncos game for 15.00 I would never miss one. Money is the only thing stopping me from spending every Sunday afternoon at Mile High forever....
I hear you brother I would too. Hey, did you end up getting one of those Steemit 1oz silver dollars from Phelimint? I'm thinking they might look good as a bolo tie.

Bookies inside the stadium would be cool.....it would add a little extra juice to the fan experience.
may be due to some reason for that particular match lets hope its not happen again
don't know the exact reason for that but you have covered the point Thanks for sharing.
I don't know if the NFL is losing money so much as wasting it on things that don't matter. Look at all the overpaid guys causing problems. Not to mention the ridiculous nonsense they do to keep younger viewers.
You seems like a big NFL fun and you are disappointed with the last game..
I ma not a big fan , but nice video ..
Cheers!
I am here NFL fan and yours too :)
True NFL story by @broncnutz good info sharing dear
I think it is the economy overall and not the NFL.
Nice video @broncnutz background is is awesome you are really big fan of football
overpriced ticket prices just increasing revenue
i think you are right...
Interesting post.
Hello Friend. I'm here. I'm a big fan ha ha ha.
