The backlash continues from the anthem protesting that is going down in the NFL. The NFL empty seats continue into week 13.
Per the Baltimore Sun:
The league faces troubles on multiple fronts this year from politics to health and the game itself. There’s fan anger, stoked by President Donald Trump, over the decision of some players to kneel during the national anthem to protest racial inequity and police brutality; injuries to star players such as Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers; fresh concerns about the long-term effects of hits and concussions on players’ brains; and inconsistent play.
“The league has an issue in front of them that demands they keep owners, players, fans and ultimately their business partners — sponsors — happy. They aren’t doing any of this well,” says T.J. Brightman, president of public relations firm ‘A Bright Idea.’
Thousands of empty seats at the Stubhub Center and the University of Phoenix Stadium.

StubHub Center just right size for MLS. Too big for NFL. The Chargers’ “Fight For LA” slogan is hilarious. Stadium holds 27,000 fans. pic.twitter.com/yrYUTKlHYg
