People are finding better things to do. I stopped watching the NFL 3-4 years ago, don't miss them. Lots more free time on Sundays to catch up on things.

Pro Football became popular back in the 1950's with the advent to televised games, it wasn't always the national focus on Sundays. The players are making a big mistake if they think their anthem protests won't have an affect, many folks will find other things to do with their free time and the financial impact on the NFL will be felt. Throw in that festering issue of CTE injuries and you have all the makings for a sport in it's final stages of popularity.

I mean, it's obvious they're not protesting the anthem, or King Nebuchenezzer. It's really obvious what they're trying to draw attention to, right? Like, really, really obvious.
