Even if you're not watching it. Put a game on your TV today, and send ratings through the roof.

In the opening weeks of the NFL season, there has been quiet panic among the owners about half full stadiums around the country. The absence of fans has been chalked up to the skyrocketing cost of tickets in some cities, and to some African American fans expressing their displeasure with how the NFl has handled the Colin Kapernick protest and recently the highly publicizes story of the season ticket holding Lions fans who were harassed in the stands when they sat during the anthem - they later turned in their tickets.

Trump now sees the opportunity to make this about himself and claim that fans are staying away because of his noxious tweets.

This is what he always does... divert attention from the real problem... TREASON...and maybe starting a war, in order to shut down protest altogether.

We are in deep trouble with this maniac in the White House.
