The original post has multiple things that are not fact, but opinion such as:
- The NFL is losing viewers due to politicizing football
- The NFL won't allow God in the stadiums
- The NFL should include multiple issues the OP suggests or simply present no social messages
- The NFL is acting in a hypocritical manner
The only fact presented is that the number of viewers of the opening game of the season is down 13% from last year (or down 11% when factoring in online viewership, as the article states).
Also, the NFL did promote a pro-life agenda in 1992
And then there was this in 2010:
And former Patriots TE, Benjamin Watson, is a noted pro-life advocate and is working on a documentary regarding abortion.
