The NFL may be the most watched major league sport in the United States — but they’re facing some serious issues that threaten to undermine the league’s popularity.
The first problem isn’t unique to the NFL. Cable networks that carry the game are suffering serious losses as a result of cord-cutting. ESPN, in particular, has been hit hard as a result of their off-topic liberal commentary.
And then there’s the Kaepernick problem. Several NF stars have joined the former QB’s lead and are refusing to stand for the national anthem.
Now, some EMT and police officers in Cleveland are refusing to hoist the American flag at Brown’s Stadium.
But the reason isn’t why you might think.
See why Cleveland officials are refusing to lift the American flag on the next page:
I am 80 and have been a Cleveland Browns fan since I was about seven years old. I loved QB Otto Graham and later Jim Brown made me proud to be a fan. Other folks like Brian Sipe were terrific in my mind. Those are memories which are passé because of the demonstrations. Lack of a win in 2017 didn’t help.
NFL will most likely be no more in 4 or 5 years
Completely boycott The National Felon League !!! More empty seats !!!
Viewership down 8% in 2016 and 10% in 2017 and yet they refuse to get a clue. WE THE PEOPLE ARE FED UP.
Good move!
NFL NATIONS FUC #ING LOSERS
YIPEE! Good riddance!
The Browns had to do something to get attention, it’s obvious that they couldn’t compete at football this season…
kneel for that one.
No we need to keep it up until they’re fired and replaced
