not sure. I thought the TV contracts were so huge that it would not matter much. Then add the new stadiums and 2017 was poised for 14 billion. haven't seen any updates
I had a conversation with my parents last night. They are one of the "not watching anymore's" They are Patriots fans, so I told them they better keep it going through the whole year and playoffs. They should get rid of their Brady shirt and Pats memoriabilia
we all know that nobody can really quite their love of football. They will all be back.

absolutely they will be back.tv won't show the anthem and it will go away for the vast majority. and the miniscule number that might stay away won't have a significant impact. I certainly don't think there will be any sal cap impact.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy
RIP

I certainly don't think there will be any sal cap impact.We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

The next round of TV contract negotiations, different story.

Just like ESPN, Saturday Night Live, the New York Times and the long list of other people and organizations he doesn't like who he says are "failing" but actually are not because he lies every time he opens his mouth.

I am neutral politically.
I have seen the ratings and/or public opinions of all of these organizations or shows and they are eroding. Hollywood had it’s worse year in forever and it’s only continuing to get worse.
There are really losing support. Maybe it will come back but who knows.
I don’t think this is on Trump though. I think he recognized it and caught on for the populist ride.You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

I agree with the general thought that the TV contracts probably are of the biggest concern for the league. But they eventually will be affected by viewership and sponsorship. But merchandise sales will also become a factor at some point.
The NFL needs to get an endgame here as the longer this goes on the bigger the "comfortableness" will grow.

I'm pretty sure that the salary cap goes up every year because profits go up every year because there is a formula in place there. I'm guessing that the cap is going to actually go down unless the slide in interest doesn't stop. My guess is that when the players start realizing that this protest is affecting their pocketbooks they will rethink some of this stuff. As always, It's always about the money (MD!)."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

if you love "football" you love "football". The game. the history.
players protesting or our embarrassing leader bringing attention to it while ignoring decimated US territories or gun violence should never change that
but if it does, I say do it and leave and never come back
I suspect 100% of real "football" fans will be back
maybe some Giants fans will hold out longer, since their team sucks this year. Maybe SF fans. everyone else will be back
