    Just priced some NFL tickets

    No wonder they are losing kids as fans. Families can't afford to take them to the ball park except maybe in nose bleed land where you have to bring your own TV!

    As attendence drops revenue drops but the bills stay the same. So they have to increase the ticket price to try to at least break even, Stadiums cost a fortune to run.

    The kneeling kicked the NFLS ass thats why they had to make the move to try and stop it.

    The onus is on them for allowing it go on and damage their business, I have no sympathy for multi millionaires who never worked a day in their life. All sports are overpaid

    After Colin Kappernick and his antics, and other members disrespecting the flag , I could create less If the entire league goes bankrupt.

    I will never watch another game. A lot of veterans feel the same way..

    And Colin Kappernick can go to hell for all I care. And the league can dissolve for letting players disrespect this nation, its history, and the blood spilled by the service men and women.

    The whole league can go belly up, and I won't shed a tear.

    Tbe Commissioner should have jerked a knot in Kappernicks ass when he started his attention antics. But no, let's damage the entire league. Let Kappernick protest what essentially made him millions. Take a knee to the national anthem when we are in a war and veterans line football stadiums for a game, beer and hotdogs.

    So, this is as much the commissioners fault as it is the league's problem in general.

    They can all go bankrupt , serves them right.

    A lot of us veterans were disgusted by the NFL stomping on free speech, and swore them off. It was the only patriotic thing to do. The players were respecting the flag, and the owners just lied and caved to the thugs.

    The whole kerfluffle, however, had zilch effect on ratings and attendance. That was dropping for a while. The product was just getting bad, too long, too repetitive, too expensive. When I was a kid, we lived football. Dad had season tickets (to the Browns, sadly). Kids now, they don't care.

    I still have my season tix for the Browns. Six rows back, 40 yard line, visitors side. I disagree with your assessment but it is your right to say so.

    Take the nosebleed seats... when you get to the venue, go to the office and tell them you have vertigo...but, you did not hear that from me...

    This will be a very interesting season. New National Anthem Rule, new tackling Rule and more division.

    I am actually really curious which (if any) players will opt to stay in the tunnel during the anthem. As far as the new tackling rule? It will just continue to water down a game that frankly, doesn't need anymore water...

    It will be interesting to see if the "what constitutes a catch" rule change makes a difference. I don't have a problem with rules that ensure safety of the players or rules that ensure the game is fair but that rule was BS. If its "up to interpretation" its a bad rule.

    If the NFL can't keep politics out of the game this will be my last season with them. I won't even go the whole season if the BS continues.
