They say a picture is worth a thousand words.. Well, to see comparative photos of the Rams game vs. the college game, click on the text above. It’s definitely eye-opening. It’s also hard to imagine that at $6 a ticket, the NFL game wasn’t sold out. That’s cheaper than a movie ticket! So, it makes you wonder WHY that happened. That’s simple.. NFL fans are tired of the political correctness, tools like Colin K. taking a knee in “protest” and disrespecting the National Anthem, and the all-mighty money of professional sports. We as American have historically all watched NFL games because we love watching football. But, that’s changed dramatically the last couple of years. Sure, the NFL is all about money, and doesn’t really care about its fans. As fans, we’ve kinda overlooked that and just put up with that reality. But, it’s gotten SO bad, and so in-our-face, these last two years, that many of us have just thrown in the towel, and changed the channel. Last year, I didn’t watch a single NFL game in its entirety. I remember watching the beginning of the Rams/49ers game, season opener. They brought in violinist cutie Lindsey Sterling in to do the National Anthem. As a musician, I was looking forward to that. But, during the entire playing of that great rendition of our National Anthem, the cameras didn’t show her at all, nor the Color Guard, etc. They all zoomed in on Colin K…taking a knee. That’s when I rolled my eyes, and changed the channel…and haven’t looked back since. We watch sports to get away from politics. And, when nauseating pieces of garbage like Colin K. (who is a millionaire many times over) takes a knee to protest how “oppressed” he is, and the NFL leadership doesn’t do anything about it (thereby giving it’s tacit approval), that’s the final straw. Those are some of the reasons that ticket sales, and tv ratings of NFL games have tanked. And, until the NFL, and the 30+ owners start respecting the fans, and setting higher standards for the players, we’ll vote with our wallets and take our money elsewhere…
