I did a full write up of the NFL’s continued empty seat phenomenon over at the Daily Stormer. The national anthem protests combined with cold weather across the country further exacerbated the attendance problems. The last week of the regular season proved to be one of the worst yet for the NFL!
The photos don’t lie!

#Lions #NFL RT @mark_snyder: @[me] compliments of my 66 year old uncle who is at the game today so please forgive the blurriness. Packers fans usually travel en mass to Detroit when the team plays there but they can even be bothered today. pic.twitter.com/QJhLIdkW0O

Words of Wisdom: “No one is too big to fall.” Look at today’s @NFL @Giants game… #OperationGhostTown. 75% EMPTY SEATS. Why? Patrons of NFL decided they had enough. Boycotted. See where im going @johnlegend / @chrissyteigen ? Att: @LizCrokin pic.twitter.com/adlK6fRryX

Here's a look at the sparse crowd at kickoff of the Ravens-Bengals game, which can decide Baltimore's playoff fate. John Harbaugh expressed concern that the time change to 4:25 p.m. could affect the crowd size. https://t.co/jFR8W99Pfs pic.twitter.com/nUPcyHIL8v
