NFL = “No Fans Left” ....I hope Players wake up to save their careers

NFL Union is doubling down on it’s path toward the NFL becoming less popular with fans. For those who don’t follow the NFL, players are protesting the National Anthem by “taking a knee or not appearing on the field this upcoming year”.

I am 100% in favor of the rights of any and all people. They have the right to freedom of speech, the right to assemble etc... However, when it come to the “workplace”, there are different rules. The NFL has a handbook of rules, which this behavior is not listed. Your workplace does give employees the right to gather and protest in the middle of the today on company time because these are “private workplaces” and the Federal Laws of freedom of speech etc do not apply in the same way. If you did such things at work, you could/would be fired....unless you work for Starbucks, ESPN Sports, ABC, NBC etc...

I feel bad for the players who are being used by politics and a global agenda. The Elite don’t care about these players when they lose their jobs, get hurt or their career is finished. These players have only so many years in this league and it’s a hard business.

For those that truly feel they need to protest, like the Philadelphia Eagles, could we please see their schedule of where their “talks have been in the off year”. They feel passionate about this so I am sure they must have organized several speeches in the off season to share how they feel. I think the answer is there were “none” or very few not publicized. It’s only on TV for your conumption.

And hence — we have people who don’t care about the NFL anymore and fans are leaving in droves.

The players union is ruining it for the players and I hope they wake up. Certainly, not all players feel this way, but the few ruin it for the many that protest this way on private work time.

US citizens don’t want politics in sports. I don’t care about how Steve Kerr thinks as the Warriors Head Basketball Coach. When he played for the Bulls, he had to listen to Phil Jackson 100% and play in the “triangle offense”. IF he said “no I want to do something else or protest a practice etc” — he would have been OUT. But Basketball and Football and celebrities and media are either “sellout” or being used (some of them). WHY —- well this is a question that is much larger and it has to do with power , politics and another agenda.

Do the San Francisco 49’s wish for no guns protecting their games anymore? Do they not want security at the games?
Do media and celebrities wish to go without their gun carrying bodyguards? Of course not — those rules and ideas are for you — not them.

NFL Players take back your sport — before it’s too late.

Sort:  

They seem to have politics involved, otherwise it is quite a fun game to watch actually

I agree. Football is huge in America until politics came into the sport. The elite are putting poltics into everything (movies, tv programs, news, education). That “was” the plan. People see through the plan. So can football players see through how they are being used?

I no longer have a desire to watch a bunch of overpaid overprivileged athletes disrespect their country and flag

I could not have said it better myself.

I don't follow it though i've seen that news before. Is it against what the US is doing??

That is the point. There is little to no discussion on their “position or issue”. If it it’s racism, let’s have discussions. If it’s slavery from 100 years ago, let’s understand their beliefs. None of these issues are being discussed r talked about — not sure how anything can be addressed this way.

What an idea!!!
So cool!!

Hippocracy at its worst. These guys should take a knee on their own time. A church would be a good place to start.

Bravo....they are mis-reading the American Public in.a “big way”. The attendance I believe will be worse than last year.
