NFL: Long After Take-A-Knee, Many Fans Never Came Back
Politicizing your product really is a risky business. Will the supporters you gain outweigh the ones you lose?
It’s the 100th season. It’s supposed to be some kind of a historic year, right?
Well, where IS everybody?
Fans and casual observers couldn’t help but notice something in Week 2 of the NFL season.
A whole lot of empty seats. Not just at one or two stadiums where a craptastic team can’t draw their own fans, but even in some stadiums where — based on their records –they should be showing up.
Social media was abuzz with people asking where all the fans went.
Congrats to all American PATRIOTS who refuse to watch football
I'm OVERJOYED to see so many empty seats at stadiums all over the country

A ton of empty seats in the Coliseum halfway thru the first quarter. There's a sizable Who Dat crowd here. pic.twitter.com/2ZIIbvLYUh

The TV ratings aren’t much better.
Week-over-week they’ve dropped 30% from the season opener.
What’s gone wrong? Are the teams really that bad? Are fans too busy to care?
Or is this just the house that Kaep built?
