Weak 16: Christmas Did Not Come for the NFL’s Empty Stadiums

Breitbart: As the nation prepares to celebrate Christmas Day, it looks like Santa didn’t come to fill the NFL’s empty stadiums for the league’s Week 16 games.

The NFL’s Week 16 began with an admission by the Baltimore Ravens that the mass player protests during the playing of the national anthem when the team was playing on foreign soil in Britain’s Wembley Stadium, has seriously hurt its attendance all year here at home.

The Ravens sent a letter to season-ticket holders, sponsors, and suite holders, commenting on the number of empty seats at M&T Bank Stadium and specifically citing the anthem protests as a factor causing the no-shows.

Despite last week’s mea culpa, the stadium was still practically empty for Saturday’s game. Photos of show a massive number of empty seats at M&T Bank Stadium as the Ravens took on the Indianapolis Colts. The Ravens won the points, but not the fans in a 23-16 final.more here

  1. The Anthem was written aboard a
    British warship as Baltimore was
    being attacked just after the Brits
    burned the White House in DC.
    They anchored near Baltimore Harbor,
    bombarded Ft. McHenry and attacked
    overland at North Point where the
    citizens beat them in battle.
    Baltimore remembers this very well.
    So the kneeling A’holes dis the
    Anthem and stand for “God Save the Queen” in London, Freaking England.
    Oh Yeah, Baltimore is Pissed.

  2. Raven’s management sees the writing on the wall. Low attendance this year means a HUGE drop in season ticket sales next year. That letter was their pleading to current ticket owners to NOT do the ultimate boycott.
    Watch the stupid idiots strike when the owners try to renegotiate their contracts when they see the lost revenue.
    BRING IN THE SCABS!!!!

  3. I don’t disagree with anything said here, but I’m just as certain that the 20° temp. had something to do with the attendance. At least that’s what the NFL will point out.
