Okay. Thanks. 
Not in this case. Honestly. You shouldn’t post crap that nobody, even yourself believes. I will ask you straight up and I want a straight up answer. Do you actually believe the people kneeling for the flag were doing it out of respect for the flag? Has a single one ever said anything close to that?
BTW As a former Marine, I am an expert on flag etiquette. You are a rank amateur.
So , do you have proof to your claim that stadiums were half full ? Chart with attendance stats above ^^^
Good Lord man. This is reaaaaaally important to you. Yes? You are persistent. Do I have proof? Maybe? Will I provide it? Who knows? We’ll see. Your turn. 
Kneeling is a sign of respect has been for a thousand years across the global.
no one cares about American flag etiquette by that logic anyone wearing a flag pin is violating it.
Just a simple question. Doesn’t sound like you have proof after all, oh well

And the drop in average attendance the last couple of years is almost wholly attributable to the Rams and Chargers moving back to LA, where football is not popular.
The Rams had a run, of course, but fans quickly got bored.
The Chargers’ fan base did not come with them from San Diego to Los Angeles, and they currently play in a 27,000 seat soccer stadium (that usually gets filled with fans of the opposing team to boot).
TV viewership is down for the NFL…but it’s down for all types of TV shows. Football games routinely are in the top ten for ratings during the season.
And streaming of games is way up.
But the CEC and Trump tell their followers that fans are staying away because of the protests…and therefore they believe it despite the evidence all being to the contrary.

The top picture is the Chargers’ stadium.
As stated, the Chargers’ move to Los Angeles has been a disaster…they have zero fan base there. Nothing to do with the riots.
In the second picture, the Bengals are trailing 41-10 with 4:22 left in the game. Fans have all left.
Same as the last picture…Chargers are trailing 41-17 with 12:01 left in the game. The double whammy being it’s the Chargers at home again.
Thank you for three textbook examples how the CEC deceptively uses pictures and videos devoid of context to try and sell a narrative.

The best part of this is the clues as to why the stands were empty were prominently visible in all three pictures…and they STILL bought into the narrative…
41-17 I would have left at halftime no point watching your team lose.

Not at halftime.
In today’s NFL a 41-17 deficit can be eliminated in a half.
I have. Ton of BlueJay fans.

We don’t even know if any of those are preseason ! or before 2016, for that matter.
F.e. the bottom photo shows Seahawks vs. Chargers. Seahawks and Chargers only play each other in regular season every four years as they’re in different conferences.
Last time was in 2018 in Seattle
Time before that was in 2014 in San Diego.
Therefore the above photo is likely preseason which no one cares about, and it’s a blowout in preseason at that, so it’s impressive that there are as many fans as that picture shows.
