You looking at ”these people" through the lens of someone who obviously doesn't believe in anything. That's why you don't understand.
OT: Giants, Jets are dragging down TV ratings league-wide

NFL Ratings down 2020: Black Lives matter protest and 'kneeling' to affect NFL Viewership - The SportsRush
In September 2016, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was at the forefront of the social justice movement in the NFL. By October of that year, NFL viewership was down by 11%. Could that happen this season as well?

I think it’s in the in the players rights to protest. It’s the fans right to not watch. I think all the NFL protest’s are going to hit the owners/players in the pocketbook. Advertising dollars are not going to be what they were.
Another factor with the Giants and the Jets are the PSL’s ( I know it’s been years but...) they had some of the most loyal fans in the NFL. They screwed them pretty good. I don’t think they will ever get that diehard fan base back.
Yeah right . Many of them aren’t going anywhere and will still watch and follow the team. The one guy basically said if all the other teams except rutgers protests he will still watch . But his logic is different for professional sports
My wife has a friend who had season tickets for the Giants with her father since the 1950's. When the PSL's came into play they had to ditch their tickets . Too expensive . It's going to get worse in coming years with all sports at most levels . Attendance and viewership will continue to decline protest or not .Ratings are defenetely going down.NFL Ratings down 2020: Black Lives matter protest and 'kneeling' to affect NFL Viewership - The SportsRush

I have a lot of friends Giant and Jet fans.They all dropped their tickets.You have to ask was the money worth it?
Not to mention Codey giving away the farm. At least under the old plan the state got parking revenues.
Maybe they will lower the prices now, I hope so. I would love to attend more NFL games, but they are just too expensive. Go Steelers !!!
This is one of the reasons Im not watching. The NFL is supporting this guy who Tim is talking about. Imagine being in this womens position were a guy is getting into a car with your kids after he just assulted you. He has a weapon as well. Picture someone getting into your car with your kids inside after being assulted by that person. He was kidnapping her kid. Good job NFL of supporting this scumbag and remember Kamala is proud of him.
Imagine not watching your favorite team because some of the players speak out against racism 😂
Imagine not watching a team because they kneel for the national anthem of their country and don't have the courage to go and talk to the police about this problem .
After 9/11, Springsteen released a new album and did numerous shows at Giants Stadium where he was doing a lot of political commentary. He was criticized by people paying for a concert who were there to enjoy themselves. The phrase, "Shut up and sing" was used a lot and he stopped preaching during the concerts. The same goes for sports. People paying to watch a game are there for entertainment, not to listen to or watch social commentary. I'd like the athletes and entertainers to educate themselves on an issue then feel free to express their opinions on their own time, not when paying customers are trying to enjoy themselves.
They definitely speak with the police as well. A lot going on behind the scenes. Enjoy watching HGTV every Sunday!
Thanks but today it is classic R&R music videos and Pirates of the Carib. which just ended. I lost interest in the NFL about 20 years ago. Have not watched a super bowl in its entirety in about 8 years . Oh and I watch This Old House. And when it is nice out the boy and I go outside. Ya know being a father IS much more important ! The NFL not so much ! Have a swell day.
LOL at people that laugh at old people. WE have knowledge, you youngins, well your day will come .
Not exactly the same.
Players aren't stopping the game in the middle of a drive to give a 10 minute speech.
Everyone complaining about sports are upset about stuff happening OUTSIDE of the actual game.
Pregame anthem protests, post game press conferences, words on jerseys/floor.
Are seeing words in passing so triggerin
Why are watching that other stuff anyway?
Unless you are addicted to social media like a teenage girl you completely avoid the "social commentary" that is so upsetting to so many.
Nothing that happend with Jacob Blake or Taylor was racist. Nothing. The problem I have is defending these people. Arent you are the one who assumed I was of a certain race because of what I was posting in another thread before. Sad part is you dont even know me or my race but assumed. That is the equivalent of thinking that a certain race commits a lot of crimes. I guess you are not open minded enough to see this.
I watch for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back of it. I don't see athletes as role models or hero's rather merely entertainers. I agree, they go on the social justice lecture, my TV remote has buttons and the concession stand has some mighty nice looking pretzels. I refuse to have someone try and lecture their beliefs down my throat because they're good at playing with a ball.
You’re surprisingly progressive when the topic narrows to Chick-fil-A
Can we all agree that the local networks would be better off just showing reruns of old TV shows instead of the Jets and giants? Holy crap they both suck.
I don’t like commenting too much on this stuff because it’s a sensitive topic, we don’t know each other and I’m not a legal expert; however, it is ridiculous that a police officer responding to a domestic dispute would defend use of deadly force by saying he believed he heard the mother allege a kidnapping.
The knife would seem to be more adequate justification, but I have to wonder why the police officer is using the “I didn’t want a kidnapping on my conscious” defense if the knife was a critical factor.
This is why these cases shouldn't be politicized; I have a feeling you will land on the side of the police here no matter what because of a political bias when really 99% of fathers would own a police department following civil suits if they were paralyzed because cops fired after an aggrieved girlfriend shouted something that was perceived to insinuate a kidnapping. Scumbag or not; that’s just not permissible use of deadly force.
Also some points in your version of events don’t appear consistent with what actually happened.
People in NY and N.J. are boycotting the NFLSports Illustrated reports “the NFL’s biggest ratings issue is that the Jets and Giants stink and people in New York don’t want to watch those games. It doesn’t help the league when two of the worst teams in the league are in the top television market.”
NFL rumors: Giants, Jets are dragging down TV ratings league-wide
Both the New York Giants and New York Jets have started the season 0-2 and neither team looks ready to compete for a playoff spot anytime soon.www.nj.com
Doesn't help that the Giants appear to be boycotting the endzone.....
Saw a stat that they ran 0 plays from the redzone yesterday.
The last time I went to a Giant game was in 2000 for the divisional playoff against the eagles and then NFC championship against Vikings around the 25 yd line 3rd row. Stood in line and got lucky getting 4 tickets each game about $100 ticket. I don’t think people thought Giants would get to the playoffs.
The next year started seeing Rutgers play for $8 tickets in the end zone. The following year brought season ticket. What’s the cost of a ticket for Giants game?
More people are boycotting the NBA than the NFL. I watch the NFL still but it’s getting tired
That is smart. Dividing the country by kneeling during our anthem is not very smart. I’m still watching because I love Football but am 100% against kneeling and 100% for having discussions to help their cause. Stop dividing and the ratings will rise. Stop supporting a group that executes innocent police and the ratings will rise. Be smart.
That’s right! Always looking for a bargain.
Probably because we (NJSP and APPD) would toss him out of the Stone Pony after our softball games post game beer/food spreads.
The Giants are HISTORICALLY bad ? History shows them winning NFL championships and Super Bowls.
You really think they have a better chance to win an NFL championship or Superbowl this year than getting a really high draft pick?
