    C'mon man. I'm pretty sure this applies only to in-person flag displays.

    Where are you looking?
    If been watching and haven't noticed any real change.
    NFL ticket exchange tells you how many tickets are available for each game. I've been watching for weeks and there was no difference for the Bengals game from Friday- Monday.

    I feel like this has been said before- do not derail threads into socio-political civics debates. This forum is not the place for it. Thank you.

    Until this ****storm happened, the National Anthem wasn't part of the TV telecast, outside of larger events like the Super Bowl...

    Here here I do because it's second nature for me because im retired Military to me myself it's dishonorable not to. The American Flag is apart of my every day life in my home, in my vehicle on my person. It's who I am on a daily bases.:flag:

    I was looking at Jax tickets 1-2 days before Sunday on Ticketmaster then I looked yesterday and there was a lot more tickets available. It is the next home game so maybe it will trickle down to the other games. Maybe people are selling the next home game and thinking about what to do for the rest. I don't know. But there was a lot more available.

    Jacksonville isn't a big draw like some other teams. But, I'm thinking the jags aren't maybe that terrible. Looks like they are getting better!

    It’s working just fine. If people can’t follow the rules I’m sure they’ll be shown the door.

    I'd say you won't see much sag in attendance unless we start dropping more losses to bad teams. As long as our record has us in playoff contention, prices and ticket availability will be similar to years past.

    I dare say that a "majority" of the protestors probably aren't even real fans anyway, so they won't have much impact.

    First of all, they rarely show the anthem on regular season games, if they do show the anthem, being a Veteran of Desert Storm, I pay the proper respect to the Flag. I may not salute, but but I do stand and sing ( ask my wife and my dogs :) ) Race has nothing to do with Patriotism, you either have it or you dont!!

    I understand that but I just happen to be checking a day or two before and there wasn't many up. I checked after and a lot and I just checked now and even more then when I checked 2 days ago. Looks like it will be affected but we will see.

    Americans have a long history of not supporting free speech in politics and religion
    I remember big rallies of people burning Beatles albums
    long term can anyone really claim it hurt their sales?
    I bet 30 % of the people burning their jerseys etc. either didn't burn them all or will end up buying more in their lifetime

    Clearly, I think you are misunderstanding me. Much like real life politics, the loudest protesters are usually professional protesters..... that probably don't even watch the NFL, they are just offended by Trump, players, etc and want to protest anything. I agree that most everyone here is a real fan, outside of maybe Real Steel :hmm:. So in my opinion, until our team sucks, winning cures all and attendance and ticket prices won't change much at all.

    Not impugning anyone here, as 58stillers said, but besides the terminally offended, here's where a lot of the blowback is coming from:

    I was hoping this discussion could continue within the boundaries of the forum guidelines, but I think we'll lock this up now.
