Everything identity politics touches it destroys, and the NFL is not immune to the virus known as liberalism.
NFL stadiums look horrific, half empty…
Here are more twitter posts from around the NFL on week 12, showing the damage that identity politics has inflicted onto the once invincible sport (courtesy of The Gateway Pundit)…

It’s not only attendance that is down for the NFL, but ratings are also plummeting as people are simply not tuning in to watch Sunday games…opting to spend their time doing other more fruitful activities.
Breitbart News reports…
Ratings for the National Football League have gotten worse as Week 11 passes in the rear-view, with the league losing one million viewers over the numbers from 2016 as protests during the national anthem continue.
*****
With a loss of 6.3 percent compared to last week’s loss of 5.7 percent the loss of viewers deepened, the New York Post reported.
The 6.3 percent dip reflects a viewership of 14.9 million viewers, which is down a million from the 15.9 earned in Week 11 last year.
*****
With TV ratings off nearly 20 percent for the season over all, the networks have reportedly lost up to $500 million in ad revenue. The ratings slide is reflected in the sparse attendance at the stadiums, too, with Week 11 photos showing that there are still empty seats galore.
