    Ratings have been in decline. It's been a slow and steady bleed for a few years now and most of it has to do with the product, not the protests. Goodell has had a negative impact on the game. He was handed a league that had hands-down become America's favorite sport and is slowly running it into the ground.

    Woah woah WOAH! First of all, Trunp condemned those vile Nazis and white supremacists. Second, the people who he called “Sons of b******!” he was talking to all NFL players of all skin color that kneeled. I am all about free speech and they can protest peacefully. BUT. How dare they insult our country and our troops who are dying protecting our country. This is not a protest. This is hatred towards America. And they are not ashamed of it. Also, the Jags are really stupid to kneel during our anthem then stand for the British Anthem. It was very weird when they bowed down to Mother Britain becuae they started slavery, not us.

    Overall, I am tired of the Alt-left and the alt-right tearing apart this country. It is really heartbreaking. I don’t mean to stir any controversy or division. I just want post my thoughts. I have many members in my family who have served and I’m planning to possibly serve when I’m old enough. So this is really hitting me at a personal level.

    Ok im just gonna say this. I know we have bin warned about bringing up certain political views but this is a suggestion.

    When ever a fan runs out on the field or a fight breaks out in the stands the networks don't show it even though it's a "story". Well they can do the same thing during the anthem. Just show players who stand, if any.

    Call Trump a jerk on Twitter? Fine. After the game go to a local rally & call cops pigs? Ok. Wear an armband that sez All Lives Matter? Sure. That's your right.

    So until the stations stop showing players who disrespect our anthem or better yet, the NFL stops playing the national anthem altogether especially since thier trying 2 make it popular in other nations, I'm dun watching the NFL.

    I wanna ask folks to drop the politics. I take FULL blame for bringing them into this thread and I FULLY wish that I had not. Let's stick to football. If you are boycotting football or if you dislike the President, I respect that, but this is not the place to rehash reasons why.

    Let's get back on topic. I sincerely apologize for my part in sparking all of this.

    It has been brought up a couple of times to stop the political talk. Left or Right this is not the place. I don't want to have this thread locked but it will be if the political talk continues. PLEASE STOP!! Talk football and nothing else.

    Game is primetime in Seattle tonight and they are going to be retiring #45 Kenny Easley's number in recognition of his Hall of Fame induction. The crowd is going to be crazy-charged.

    I have no idea. Moving the Rams to LA AGAIN was only a touch smarter than also moving the Chargers to LA.

    And they moved after 1 season. LA is a horrible pro football town.

    Is it possible that the reason LA is a poor f ball town is because they never had a proper NFL specific stadium?

    @TheBBP I finally just checked in / caught up here. Wish I would have sooner. Love what you've done with the place!

    I believe I've mentioned in the Pick Em thread (thank you for the plugs by the way) but for posterity's sake I bleed Honolulu blue & silver:

    I don't know a lot about attendance figures for American Football but is that a low turn out or do they just have a really big stadium?

    I'm not a GB fan and I don't dislike Dallas, but I saw a friend post this and I thought that it was funny.
