I just can't watch Monday Night Football, or whatever's only shown on the NFL Network. A lot of people cut the cable, and didn't feel like getting an HD Antenna just for local channels. (And some places antennas won't get any reception anyway) NFL Viewership is down for a number of reasons. Not standing for the flag is pretty low on the list. If the NFL had actually made a rule about it, you wouldn't see viewership go back up in any significant way. (Which is a big part of why they didn't cave in--it creates bad will with the players, at a small gain) A lot of people just want to complain that people aren't worshiping the flag properly (which I presume is putting it on beer cans and wearing it as clothes. IDK anymore). They'll throw in how it DISRESPECTS SOLDIERS because that's good for some points. And that way they don't have to actually address the issues brought up by the people not standing for the flag. They're simply using the NFL's drop in viewership to promote the idea of making them shut up. --- Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool." ...
