So, everyone boycotted with the position of "NFL, do something about this or we wont watch any more!"

Now that they are doing something about it, you still are ticked off and boycotting.

I watch football to get away from the everyday mumbo jumbo. I hated the fact that the players wanted to kneel and disrespect our nation and flag. But as long as their employer was willing to turn a blind eye, they had every right to do so.
Those few players who knelt, i dont agree with, but it has not and will not stop me from watching. If i boycotted every single person and organization that disagrees with my beliefs and ideals, i would be a lonely and boring individual.
I wouldn't have a truck as the lean holder/banks are corrupt. I wouldn't pay my taxes as the government is corrupt. I would hardly be able to go out and do something with the family or eat at a restaurant that didnt have some liberal leanings. I would not have tv to watch to wind down in the evenings.
Its getting out of hand.

Actually, the boycott was because NFL did nothing when it started and maintained that position of doing nothing.
Some of think its as important a stand to make as the players who think they are doing the right thing.
Difference is, their job is in a organization that is directly affected by how we the fan spend our money and time.
An effective protest creates change... what change did they make with how they chose to protest...
Other than their organization realizing the fans dont give a **** about their politics and that they are there to play a ****ing game for our entertainment.

As ratings drop to below The NBA ratings, the NFL is taking it hard in their pockets. So much so that Goodell came out and said this:

The NFL has developed a plan to "move past" its ongoing debate about player protests during the national anthem and could enact it next week, commissioner Roger Goodell wrote Tuesday in a letter to all 32 teams.

Goodell made it clear in the letter, obtained by ESPN's Adam Schefter, that he wants players to stand during the anthem. He did not provide specifics on how he intends to ensure it, but he wrote that it would "include such elements as an in-season platform to promote the work of our players on these core issues."

The issue will be discussed, and likely acted upon, during the NFL's regularly-scheduled fall meetings on Oct. 17-18.

In the letter, Goodell said he wanted to end the controversy by agreeing on a uniform approach for all teams.

"Like many of our fans," Goodell wrote, "we believe that everyone should stand for the national anthem. It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us.

"We also care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues. The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players."

The NFL's current anthem policy states that players "should" stand for the anthem, but it stops short of requiring it.

The proposed new policy is the result of "many of discussions with clubs and players," Goodell added.

President Donald Trump has called on NFL owners since last month to fire players who do not stand for the anthem, saying their protest "disrespects the flag" and the country. The issue intensified last weekend, when Vice President Mike Pence walked out of the 49ers-Colts game because more than 20 players from the 49ers kneeled during the anthem.

Players involved in the protest, which began in 2016 with 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, have said they are protesting police brutality and racism -- not the flag itself. But many NFL owners have grown concerned about the appearance of unpatriotic acts and, on Sunday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he would bench any player who kneeled.

Using the flag and anthem as a platform for protest is no different than burning the flag in my opinion.

[Man]

Bring on Monday night Curling!!

Ratings do not include streaming or watching some place other than your own television. I think the cord cutters are skewing the numbers.
I think they lost a few fans <10% with the protests. But half those fans will come back if they stop the protests. If they try and keep politics in the game. Then they will see a steady decline of fans. Look at Hollywood's numbers. Hollywood made everything political and they are tanking.
