Conservative Daily News . . . "The NFL is taking the hit following two years of intense politicization as players chose to kneel or sit in protest against the American flag and the National Anthem. League Commissioner Roger Goodell chose not to enforce league policy that players stand during the anthem, instead siding with players who largely weren’t sure exactly what they were protesting or how their actions would change anything – other than game attendance and viewership." . . .
. . . "Ratings and advertising revenue have dropped dramatically since the protests reached their pinnacle and as of December, fans could get a Colts ticket for just $2, Carolina Panthers seats went as cheap as $7 and even Green Bay Packers tickets went for as little as $12.
"While most Americans found the protests ineffective and abhorrent, the league bet that its key demographic would largely either support the players or not care – they were wrong." . . .
