"Kaepernick certainly has a right to protest over that issue, just as now-former NFL viewers have the right to change the channel over what they view as blatant disrespect of the American flag and national anthem. The NFL has long been one of the country’s most popular forms of escapist entertainment, and the injection of social and political issues into the broadcasts has turned a number of fans away. It may not be the only cause for the NFL’s ratings decline, but it may be a bigger factor than you think."

Speaking as a former 49ER Fan, Kaepernick has a right to do what he did this is America ! But as an Americian I have a right no longer be a 49ER Fan. That means not to watch their games or buy their products. I admire Jerry Jones of the Cowboys "If you sit during the National Anthem you will no longer be a Cowboy ! ( It shames the brave men and woman who gave their life for America regardless of Race Creed or Color ! )

I can believe it, considering that NFL fans tend to be more patriotic than the overall population.
