It’s that time of the year again. The NFL is back and people are still pissed off at football thugs who kneel and disrespect the national anthem, the flag and our military. There aren’t as many kneelers as there used to be as some players have finally figured that pissing off your fan base isn’t exactly good marketing strategy. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any kneelers left, but we’ll come back to that later. The net result from the years of disrespect by the players has resulted in embarrassing low attendance numbers. On opening day, typical stadiums are sold out just because it’s the start of the season. That’s not the case anymore. Here are some of the pathetically empty stadiums for the opening of the 2018 NFL season. I’m sure some will blame the weather.
Week 1 of NFL season sees tons of empty seats and fewer kneelers |

Tennessee at Miami:
@HardRockStadium and look at all the empty seats. It is a reflection of the horrible fan experience the @MiamiDolphins exhibit. My last time at a Dolphins game. I am no longer a #FINSUP Better use for my time. pic.twitter.com/P72RnWdY5M

And there’s still some games that haven’t even been played at (the time of this post). I wonder how crappy the TV ratings will be. FU NFL.
