Several NFL stadiums around the NFL were near empty during week 7 of the season, as fan backlash stemming from the national anthem controversy continues to hit the ticket sales.
This is what happens when identity politics infects your organizations…everything goes to hell. The NFL and its players are learning that virtue signaling has its price.

If you thought this was a one week blip, then you are mistaken. Week 6 was just as bad for NFL game attendance.
Breitbart News reports…
Note, that the Jets played New England on Sunday, meaning there should have been a big crowd for that game. The Texans, Atlanta, and Baltimore are also very relevant teams with relatively loyal fan bases. Yet, thousands upon thousands of fans no-showed or didn’t buy tickets for those games.

Learn how demographics work…and how the media and “organizers” use it….you’re a ‘patsy’…..
The NFL deserves what it gets. I no longer watch pro football and never will. You disrespect my flag, my service and the sacrifices of myself and my brotherhood then you don’t deserve to be called American, PERIOD!
I think millions of fans were more or less addicted to the NFL of Sunday, including me. By not going to games they found out there are a lot of things to do on Sunday besides watch football. I know that I notice how the NFL is on almost all of the sport channels at the same times in there effort to keep fans addicted to watching them, also reruns all day on some channels.
