Thanks for saving my post, Rita! (I hate cell phones...never works when trying to edit...)
Agree with you 100%, as these ass clowns are living the lux life...I have, however worked in pro sports catering, and can say its all about the owners!
For one, Jerry Jones is legit, balls to the wall, NO nonsense.
It does provide jobs to a lot of little guys like me in the kitchen, but besides that the NFL SHOULD go f**k itself for allowing this garbage feeding behavior. IMHO

WOW wing bar in Chalmette announces boycott 'any time the Saints kneel'
WOW wing bar in Chalmette announces boycott 'any time the Saints kneel' in protest

Worth the read but down a bit in the story is "...She reported that a couple of tables walked out when diners learned that the game wouldn’t be shown, but that most customers “are agreeing with us.”..."
Hmmm, wonder if the left and MSM have misjudged this protest - again.

Seems there's a massive case of cultural appropriation happening.
Tebowing is being used in a manner which is disrespectful to the original meaning.

Why play the National Anthem before a sporting event. Stop playing it, end of controversy.

Guys used to suit up and play just for the love of the game.
Not anymore. Johnny Unitas is rolling over in his grave.
Maybe their monopoly exclusion should be ended, since their patriotism has.

I don't think that the owners have forgotten, it's just that at this point the collective isn't yet feeling the pinch to the level that is needed to force action. They KNOW the impact to the bottom line of a Walkout/Strike, which they probably hold in the back of their minds as a real possibility if they were to come down hard. If that were to happen I think it would be hugely damaging to the league for some time to come as it would push many who are disgusted but still watching over the edge, never to return.
So right now they do nothing and we will see more and more teams just stay in the locker room with the hope that the American people focus on something else and continue to watch football.
Edit: Jerry Jones is not included in this. He has already taken a principled stand.

Pro-Sports owners don't really give a shit about ticket sales...
People are still going to watch games on TV and the truth is, TV = advertising = revenue, and besides, what are your choices?
-thi$ week with ge0rge SnuffaLupagus?
-meet the pre$s?
-face the nation?
-the great British baking show on PBS?
Or, will you watch football, and just leave the room to get a beer and take a piss when the primped and decorated show-ponies come out on the field to display their protests ???
Personally, I go outside and play - depending on the weather I am either skydiving, shooting my bow in the backyard, or grocery shopping on Sunday afternoon. I quit following pro-sports years ago when these fags decided that they don't get paid enough
...they need the extra money to pay for lawyers to get them out of trouble for gambling, cheating, beating their wives, drug charges, drunk driving charges, and all of the other problems forced on them because of white-privilege
People are not going to rip up their season tickets in protest - that shit costs MONEY that good people cant afford to waste, some folks just don't care, and others are supportive and sympathetic to this type of shenanigans, so the owners just don't care if the stands are full or not because they will still make money off whoever shows up...
-20 bucks to park your car
-6 bucks for a soda
-8 bucks for a beer
-5 bucks for a hot dog
-5 bucks for a program (that is full of advertisements)
-150 bucks for a jersey and a hat
fuck you mr and mrs pro-sports fan, swipe your card and move along

More free speech...
More free speech.
Quote:
The "Star-Spangled Banner" was not protested by members of the NASCAR community during their Cup series race outside Concord, N.H. this weekend.
Part of the explanation may come from the strict warning several team owners gave in the wake of both comments by President Trump and exhibitions by NFL players.
NASCAR icon Richard Petty, a former driver and current team owner, told the AP that he wouldn't accept any protest of our nation's colors.
"Anybody that won't stand up for the anthem ought to be out of the country," he said. "Period."
Additionally, longtime owner Richard Childress said that any driver or crew member protest will "get [them] a ride on a Greyhound bus."

The players are trying to say “It’s not about us disrespecting our military, (we love our men and women of the military) or what the flag stands for, we love this country, we were born and raised here”, “We are showing Unity, and coming together as one”….Well, I don’t know about you, but they picked their side and in my opinion, it is wrong. I do understand that people have a right to say what they want in this country; but do it outside of football. Football is Football, play the freaking game…Protests and Politics have no business on that damn field when they are playing.
Yes, to me they are disrespecting the military, police officers and this country by kneeling, and not taking the field during the National Anthem and the display of our Flag. This nation was built upon those that shed blood, and sacrificed for this Country, as well as the families who have lost loved ones. I think we are really sick and tired of Felon Athletes, and Entertainers who make millions whine about “police brutality, and injustice”. Really? A few bad apples and you label all police in that category? What about those groups targeting cops? What about brutality against them, how many have been killed because of disdain towards them? If I were the police, I would tell them to F off, who wants to protect your asses on the field, you punks.
Sorry, but this has gotten out of hand on their end. Just by those F-tard players either protesting, kneeling, or remaining silent hiding in the tunnel prior to the game; Hell yes, you picked your side so FU and your stupid soapbox, you overrated/overpaid thugs. You would screw your fans just to make a buck.

The left has been attacking American football, at all levels, for over 30 years. They want us to play soccer with the rest of the world. Now they've recognized who makes up the majority players of the game and have found a way to have them destroy it from within.
If you have Netflix, take a peek at Last Chance U.

Interesting the company (NFL) has chosen to side with the employees (players) over the customers (fans); such a strategy cannot fail.....

The liberals that were recently chanting "Eat the Rich" are now joining with Billionaires to defend the actions of Millionaires.

Upon hearing Roger Goodell's latest round of stupidity spewing out the pimple on my ass that held the last bit of give a damn about the NFL burst.
The NFL's tax and other exemptions must end.
I'll believe that pos Jerry Jones will fire players that kneel when I see it. Old Jerry knows how to play the game. The question is what will he do if all or a large majority of the players kneel in defiance to the white racist owner? My guess is he would find a way to backtrack on his stance.
I despise SJW's, whether they are the ones on the street abusing people face to face who disagree with them, the keyboard SJW's or the rich, appeaser SJW's.
F**k the NFL and any other professional sports league who wishes to preach rather than entertain.

Agree. If you want to protest go someplace else other than the arena. Professional sports isn't about politics.
Won't be watching any football this season.
Not standing during the national anthem is flat disrespect.
