No, but I might be inclined to drive over and join the protest if you decide to burn it.

Well, maybe.

Would you be serving BBQ?

Well to state the obvious there was no reason for them to take pay cuts during the kneeling, the teams were not losing big money.

That could change as this season progresses, or not. Time will tell. The real test will be in the weeks that follow after opening week. The first few weeks are typicality very high ratings across the board.

Plus they will not be able to fill up 70,000 seat stadiums this year due to social distancing. So revue will like take a hit no matter what.

It was a question rather than a statement.

Look, I'm Memphis born and raised. I know BBQ.

And I've been to NC -- Raleigh area -- and had some of their BBQ. I know the difference.

I was actually pulling the ol' bait-and-switch.

If BBQ was going to be served I would've replied, "no thanks".

:D

Every NFL team could play in front of an empty stadium and still make millions simply based on the media deal. That is coming from the Packers who have to release their financials.

The salary cap has increased every year since 2010, but maybe having literally 20-25% of people in the stands will decrease it.

they have to go down an extended period of time. People stayed away for maybe a season with the Keap stuff. We will see if people stay away this time.

"Save the cows!"

Excuse me. This is Carolina:

"Save the pigs!"

I'll not be watching this year.

Wonder what the NFL will do with empty stadiums and ****** tv ratings? Will the see the error of their ways?

If I’m torching the Jersey, I’d probably serve s’mores. Plus my smoker got trashed in a storm, so probably won’t be smoking any pig for a while.

F the NFL...haven't watched it in years anyway. No great loss.

Been ignoring the NFL since they started taking a knee. Whatever they do meaning nothing to me. If they went bankrupt, I'd be fine with that. Time for someone to start a new league that focuses on football.

Green Bay has more than 100,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets.
80% of current season ticket holders opted out for the 2020 season.

We'll see how many on the waiting list actually buy season tickets. The COVID19 economy and the politics of the NFL likely changed the minds of most on that list.

I'm at lost for words how stupid the NFL, NBA etc; for what they are doing. It's like they don't understand who pays the Bills.

Turned on a NBA game hoping they figured it out:

I saw BLACK LIVES MATTER taking up half the court, & flipped it off

IMO...This is a horrible business decision. Im surprised the owners are this stupid. It makes me wonder if losing money is what it is about in owning a team. Maybe just a tax write off.
