Saquon, OBJ, Mahomes Demand NFL Admit They Wrongly 'Silenced' Protesters Like Kap

The biggest names in the NFL -- from Patrick Mahomes to Odell Beckham to Saquon Barkley and more -- just dropped a powerful message demanding the league admit it wrongly silenced protesters like Colin Kaepernick.

Do they not realize that the world just figured out how "essential" pro sports were?

And baseball players want to be paid for the entire year to play part of the season. I'm done with it all concerning pro stick-and-ball sports. Now, NCAA, let's see what you can do to run me off.

They are free to destroy their sports as far as I'm concerned. I hope they do. No support from here at all for the last 2 years or more. Don't miss it, and my lack of support will continue.

its kinda like the Republican Party and the Christian voter base, how far can you push one without losing them to gain another market or voter base.

I’d say they’re pushing on the traditional fan base guessing they’ll have short memories and go back to eating wings and watching on sundays, but they’re gaining a crowd that all together didn’t really care about football or pro sports before. I’d wager they’re losing most of the traditional crowd due to redskins and cowboys being garbage anyway lol

At the end of the day, you can’t raise hell about the $ they make and go to the game with a $100 ticket, $50 concessions, wearing a $75 jersey and tuning In on your Sunday ticket subscription to keep up with your ad riddled fantasy football league. Pro athletes don’t make any higher of a % than the average skilled worker running heavy equipment vs the construction company. If folks were willing to come by the hundred of thousands @ $100/per to watch you run a dozer, well we’d have a bunch of rich dozer drivers.

It’s supply and demand, pure and simple. You vote with your money, whether it’s the NFL or politicians. You cut off the funding, things will change in a hurry. If you just grumble on a forum and go back to watching football, you won’t see a single thing change. Americans have way too short a memory, they’re counting on it.

Im only guilty of watching on t.v. [emoji13]

I know what your saying. As much as I love watching it Id be happy to see them go a couple of years without it just to show the players whats what.

P.S. Is the Nielsen ratings still a thing? I mean how do they determine the number of people watching a show nowadays?

Every night your satellite box reports everything you watched and recorded. If you are on cable, they already have it.

Yep, and those numbers are what advertisers go by to decide where they spend money to run their commercials. If any televised media has nobody tuning in, the advertising dries up. Sorta like spending money for a billboard that is located such that no one can see it. That would be wasted money. I may only be one person, but if enough would just stop supporting them, just maybe the message would trickle through. Yet I know that is only wishful thinking on my part. Too many are willing to overlook.....

That's why if I am going to fall asleep watching TV, I put it on a channel I want to support with ratings. Also why I cancelled the DVR programming on things that pushed me away from them. (NASCAR)

Nope. I used to watch every race and every college football game I could. I would spend all day at the pub watching the big screens. Haven't done that in at least 3 years. Won't be back either. I don't think they care. There are more than enough sheep to replace the fans they are losing.

Haven't looked in awhile but just read some articles on nfl.com and looks like the kneeling during the anthem is going to start back up.
I know its a pipe dream but it would tickle me to death if when they start that crap the stadium would empty and fans would start protesting.

I think he’s a great athlete

it’s unfortunate that so many athletes think the world should agree with their political expertise...and ironic that they wont take athletic advice from politicians

well real woke folks should be boycotting the nfl for an entirely different set of reasons. Safety. My God they were scared to get out of their beds for months, how can they support brain injury glorified?
It isnt too healthy to play football.

Boondock has it nailed.

Seeing and hearing what has transpired the past few days, to answer OP's question....
NO. I don't care anymore.
Pro Football was my last bastion, and now I say no.
Pro Football-out
Nascar- out
Never cared for the rest, especially NBA.
So, they're all out. I just don't care.

I'm done. Will spend my time watching youth sports up thru collegiate, and local races for cars and go-karts. Too much good stuff out there to be hung on this mess.

well the college kids think they know it all and some are running their mouths. Once you get past high school they're about the same.

The mindset begins at, if not before, the college level. That liberal washtub has been brought up here many times... Who would be surprised of that level of sports participating in the nonsense we are currently seeing...?
It is actually a given..
