ESPN isn't going to let it die down.

They make it a point to show how many players kneel down for the anthem before they even show highlight one from the game.

They now treat their social justice agenda like it's part of the game.

I am telling you guys, this will die down.....


ESPN talking about it every night is one thing, and they will not stop doing that. But the production and what they air during the actual games will die down quickly.

We have Sunday Ticket at my local establishment where we watch these games, and almost none of them (1PM and 4PM games) even showed the National Anthem (either version). Commentators went there a little bit but it wasn't crazy..

That said, there was a much bigger deal made of it on the the Sunday night and Monday games where there were national audiences.


If the ratings continue to stay down and or drop further, you will see less and less coverage of that stuff........... guaranteed. NBA is setting the bar for what eyes on the TV will endure. Their ratings suck and they are doubling down on protest .... The NFL will not do that - waaaaay too much money at stake for them.

No one in NM is watching in sports bars. Restaurants can only have 25% capacity indoors. Our worthless Gov. has put the fear of god in them that she'd shut them down a third time. Patrons should be seated ASAP, order taken ASAP, they should eat ASAP and leave ASAP. One of her minions has encouraged restaurants with tvs to keep them turned off. Why go to a restaurant and be rushed?
