Restaurants Are Turning Their TVs OFF To The NFL.
DirecTV is offering an unprecedented refund of its ‘NFL Sunday ticket’ package over national anthem protests.
Either DirecTV thinks that few customers will take advantage, or that the NFL has become so toxic that they’re willing to issue a lot of refunds in exchange for good PR. The restaurant move makes me think it might be the latter.
CEO of the Dish Network Says That It’s No Longer Unthinkable to Simply Drop ESPN from Cable Networks.
As an aside, I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but the NFL makes billions of dollars via their team stadiums which are TAXPAYER SUPPORTED! Often without taxpayer approval (or against taxpayer disapproval). All in all, US Taxpayers subsidize the NFL directly to the tune of $7,000,000,000 a year, not to mention the fantastic prices fans pay for seats so that these players can make an average of 2.5 million a year? And now they have the nerve to give the finger to our military, servicemen, citizens and country? This is going to eventually come back to bite the NFL in the ass like a Rottweiler.
