Yeah, they bring in a lot of money, but they put out a lot of money too. Emptier stadiums and more importantly loss of television viewers could easily send this league the way of one of other leagues that have failed. Viewers who are fed up with protests can get their football fix on Saturday or Friday night.
I'm kidding myself? We constantly discuss, on this very forum how TV revenues basically make up for any fan absence at stadiums. The fun thing about watching TV is that people like to pretend they are boycotting, then continue to watch at home, lol. The money comes from a lot more places than fan attendance. It won't matter anyway, because people will still watch. Public opinion is different than 2017 when this issue last came about.
