Last year's plummet in attendance clearly freaked out the NFL ownership. Money talks. Muh principles and muh outrage walk. I'm going to keep beating this drum. We have to stop letting our addiction to certain types of entertainment drive us to fund our own destruction. We have to build and support parallel structures in social media, television, internet, payment processing and other areas. I wrote about how I dumped Twitter last week. When I did, I started an Ace of Spades Morons group over on gab.ai. We're up to almost 600 members and I invite you to join us. Our future as conservatives depends on how we respond to left wing cultural and institutional dominance. Are we going to shrug and say that's just the way it is or at least start taking some small steps toward fighting back? I like this NFL win. It's encouraging. Let's not stop there. Oh, and by the way, they're not getting me back to watch, ever. No mercy.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1
Warden, right on.

The players don't get fined, the team does, and I just read a headline saying the New York Jets have said they will pay the fine for any player who kneels.

Meanwhile over at Legal Insurrection it looks like Amazon has demonetized them. Only a matter of time until the shopping link in the upper right is yanked from here also.
I try to avoid Amazon, use Walmart.com or order direct from the small suppliers that are listed in the "other sellers" column there, but there are a lot you can't order direct from. Posted by: moon_over_vermont at May 23, 2018 09:09 PM (FOsNf) 9
Am i missing something?
If the players kneel the team gets fined. The teams will get fined. Not the players. They are subsidizing the behavior they wish to stop. When subsidize behavior you get more behavior. Posted by: Simplemind at May 23, 2018 09:10 PM (ZuGkg) 10
I say stop playing the anthem at NFL games. The degenerates don't want to respect it, then playing it degenerates the anthem and drags it into controversy. Stop playing the anthem. They controversy goes away, and your audience is what it is. The anthem doesn't make me want to watch the NFL, but the controversey makes me NOT watch it.

I suspect that the protest kneeling will continue as a test to see which NFL owners will pass those fines on to players, and that the players will continue calling their fans bigots. It's a theoretical win, but I am kinda skeptical. We'll see. I'm a pessimist.
And I still want an apology for this BS from the NFL. Even if that happens, the rules still suck and there's too much replay. A return to a ca. 1996 rulebook would help a lot. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 23, 2018 09:13 PM (hYcqw) 25

I'm guessing this "compromise" won't be good enough for a lot of the kneelers, as nobody will be able to see them grandstand in the locker room.

The best way for the NFL owners to handle it from here would be a long-con and probably illegal collusion (the real, business kind): If you kneel and continue your protest, the owners will eat the fines and you will suffer no immediate consequence - but your team will not renew your contract and no one will pick you up in free agency. Hard line. Let it play out over a couple of years and even the genuine not-at-Ace morons will figure it out.

When does NFL start negotiating new TV contracts? The drop in value will impact the players bigly. That might adjust attitudes.
Posted by: 2009Refugee at May 23, 2018 09:30 PM (2xR5z) --------- Dunno about that. Matt Ryan in Atl just got an eye popping record of a contract. 5 years, $150 million. Seems the owners, at least some of them, are pretty confident about the future. I haven't watched since the early Capernick shit, so I can not boycott any further.

I happen to know an x-NFL player who thought kneeling was a great way to protest.
I asked him, suppose you invited me into your home to watch a game. You cooked up some wings, had the beer on ice and showed me into your living room. Before the game started, I stood up and pissed on your carpet because you were wearing the colors of the team I came to root against. Would you invite me back into your home? He was a little miffed but he understood and we are still friends. We plan to go to a baseball game this summer. Posted by: Dennis at May 23, 2018 09:41 PM (400G7) 118

If they wanted to win back fans they would have fired Goodell and they would have come up with something better than this half ass shit. It will piss off the black racists who think the cops should let them do whatever they feel, without placating any patriots.
Now if they had fired Roger and then announced that players would remain in the locker rooms while Nat Guard did a color guard presentation during the anthem, well, mayyybee I would have gone back to being a lukewarm fan/watcher but they eff themselves with their stripped down olive branch.

Westy, the Broncos have actually doubled down on that in the off-season. They got rid of Aqib Talib, who never took a knee, and kept Brandon Marshall, who is basically the Grover Dill to Colin Crappernick's Scott Farkus.
They can eat a balls. Oh, and did you see where the Bowlen family is now trying to get the people of Denver to buy the naming rights to their stadium and call it Mile High Stadium at Pat Bowlen Field? Yeah, they've basically been reduced to begging for free money. Looks like the backlash has hurt them more than the team is letting on. Good!

So Mrs. Bob is looking at the top playlists for past graduations and the conversation turned to Spandau Ballet (which my class voted for to my ac/dc loving dismay). They still suck, but the lead singer looks like the douche-nozzle running Canadialand, and the sax player like Iceman from Topgun.

When all this came down, the fan videos were jaw dropping, season tickets, jerseys, autographed crap and etc..... There's no coming back from that. That guy in FDL burning every single piece of packer merch was a site to behold. The fans are pissed, found other things to do and aren't coming back even if GOdell does a Cersei Lannister.

141 -- Slapweasel -- Do not mention skunks in my vicinity. My two idiots managed to get zapped three times in a matter of weeks. The first hit was straight to #1's chest. And my nose dead husband let her into the house. It was like an atomic bomb of skunk stench exploded in the house. It made me physically ill. Thankfully, the next two episodes were merely halo effect, easily washed out. But we maintain an industrial amount of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda in the pantry at all times.I
Some poor neighborhood pooch already got nailed about a month back. The worst time is the Middle of August on until winter. I think the young 'uns are just starting out on their own, and they shoot first, ask questions later. I can't tell you how much I love getting up at 3am to check the yard for skunks because one of the dogs has decided she must, must, MUST go out.

I think the NFL made an extremely weak response, and I can guarantee there will be no NFL football watched in this house this year or many years to come. And since we don't have cable, we can't watch college football, either. And that's okay by me.
I was in the band in high school. We very generously allowed the football team to mess up our beautiful marching field in the fall while we did our own thing up in the stands. That's about as much football as I ever want to see. Posted by: Deplorable Lady with Only Two Deplorable Cats at May 23, 2018 10:14 PM (0VO66) 207
The Broncos have claimed that their profits are only down by 0.4%, but seeing as how the family that owns them is now scrambling for anything to make a buck, I don't believe those numbers.
They're now looking to sell off half of the stadium's parking space for development. Apartments and restaurants. I look forward to nearby residents complaining that their streets are are clogged with game attendees' cars because there's not enough parking at the stadium, and clashing with the city which will not want to have those cars towed.

I don't think it'll be quite that simple, AOP. Too many people getting their cars towed while attending Broncos games will make Denver's city government and the Broncos look bad.
I think the city will choose to inconvenience local residents rather than suffer that. Posted by: That little brat from Kindergarten Cop, if the movie had been made today. at May 23, 2018 10:37 PM (wSC8T) 211

Sort of off topic. I just went over to gab to register and the first thing I saw was several definitely antisemitic posts, not to mention someone called Granpa Lampshade using the n-word as well as being antisemitic. I believe in free speech, but this makes me very very uncomfortable. I already registered, but I'm having second and third thoughts. Any of you feel this way?

So sorry. Too little, too late. It's not that I'm boycotting or even annoyed anymore. It's worse, I simply no longer care about what is on in the nfl. You can't disrespect the country and expect my support. So I found something better to do with my time.

According to the NFL's release, it's the team that gets fined if the player comes out but doesn't stand for the anthem. The team then has a choice of whether to fine the player, and it won't surprise me if at least some teams with sympathetic owners let them get away with it.
It's also up to the team what happens to the player if he stays in the locker room. But something tells me that won't happen. No point in a protest if nobody can see you do it. The big takeaway from this for me is that it's all too late to matter. The protests are only one of at least three likely causes of the NFL's declining audience and revenue, and the other two causes (consumers ditching cable anyway, and the controversy about concussions) have not slowed down or been noticeably addressed at all.

Why bother watching these chumps? I used to follow one NFL team faithifully and occasionaly watch the rest. I stopped watching last year. Gee, I didn't miss anything--or them.
These guys can kneel all they want--but if not one is there to see it, it's like a tree falling in the forest. No one hears it, no one cares. Posted by: Comanche Voter at May 23, 2018 11:23 PM (Sda6L) 217

I did something really dumb, I switched rooting from the Giants to the Jets, since the owner of the Jets is Trump's UK ambassador and one of the owners of the Giants donated a ton of $ to The Obama and Clinton Crime Families.
