    What should NFL do

    NFL Ratings are declining quickly. I think its time for a team to stand up and make a drastic change.

    The Setup: Tell all players they can stand, sit, kneel, lay down during the national anthem.

    The Plan: After the anthem is over go back into the locker room, every wide receiver/corner/or safety that didn't stand gets to switch their 80's number for a 60's and play on the line. If the kicker/punter doesn't stand he gets to play QB behind them. Every lineman that stood gets their moment to shine and play where they choose.

    yes the players have a contract, but I doubt that contract guarantees the position they will play.

    After a few series of these guys getting pummeled by the D line and embarrassed they might choose to stand next anthem.

    Also you know NFL ratings would soar if you could tune in and watch a guard catching a screen pass from a linebacker and running down the sideline with a nose guard as lead blocker.

    NFL should fire the Commissioner, apologize for all the anti America crap and then write a large new list of rules that govern behavior on the field to include being fined or fired for being unpatriotic.

        Maybe people stop going to the games, TV stops commercials, and why not, for the heck of it, all the beer suppliers stop bring beer to the stadiums. That would probably be the one that puts everybody over the top.

          There is nothing they can do right that ship. They have shown their colors and its not something you can just erase with some hokey pokey show.

            But even if they do apologize or whatever to get people back, I dont think people will go back(some will but not all). People are finding out that football is not the most entertaining relaxing thing to do on Sunday.

            I wish they would swap college to sundays so I could actually catch a game or two.

              Haven't missed it and really don't think about until one of these threads pops up.

                I’ve noticed that the older I get, the less I care about watching football. I remember the same thing happening to my dad when he got into his late 40s. Now that he’s in his 70’s, I don’t think he’s watched a game in 20 years. If the NFL is not picking up younger fans, then they are losing fans by attrition. Granted, my observations only include two people...but I wonder if this is a small part of the equation?

                    I agree completely. The less I watch the less I care to watch. Whatever they do, they better do it quickly because people are realizing that life without football sunday is not as bad as once thought. I would say send all the kneeling football plyers to the middle east and let our military guys come here and play football, however I think that would put our country in danger if we had to rely on those guys to protect us.

                        How exactly would that help the ratings?

                          The NFL is losing money. They gambled that the people who give them 100s of millions a year would forget and forgive, as if millions of Americans would follow the views they embraced. We didn't.
                          Now, they have to fix it. Or try to. If they had simply enforced the rules ALREADY in place, this would have ended with one or two players getting fined. Now, they will have to get a new commissioner, rewrite the rules to try to appease players, fans, idiot politicians and others that never gave a rats *** about football until it became a political platform. That's going to be a much bigger job than just benching a couple of "activists".

                              From the New York Post, not that facts matter to any liberal/NFL kneeler:

                              The FBI released its official crime tally for 2016 on Monday, and the data flies in the face of the rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend.

                              Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population.

                              The increase in black homicides last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.

                              Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks.

                              In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post. The paper categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and violent resistance to arrest.

                              Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.

                              Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.

                              Among all homicide suspects whose race was known, white killers of blacks numbered only 243.

                              Violent crime has now risen by a significant amount for two consecutive years. The total number of violent crimes rose 4.1 percent in 2016, and estimated homicides rose 8.6 percent.

                              In 2015, violent crime rose by nearly 4 percent and estimated homicides by nearly 11 percent. The last time violence rose two years in a row was 2005-06.

                              The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect. Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.

                              Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 a.m., many officers are instead just driving by.

                              Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.

                              Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January 2017. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.

                              Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police — including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes.

                              The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.
