More than 80 percent of season-ticket holders opted out of 2020. MSN says it’s so they can stay safe. Is it safe from the virus or the kneeling?
Maybe it’s the grant for Planned Parenthood or the support for kneeling during the anthem, disrespecting our flag and our nation?
According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Packers president Mark Murphy says more than 80 percent of season-ticket holders have opted out of the 2020 season.
Murphy told Packers.com that it influenced his decision to play at least the first two games of the season without fans at Lambeau Field.
“The fact that that high a percentage of our fans were not comfortable coming to games was a factor that weighed into my thinking,” Murphy said.
Lambeau Field consistently sells out for every Packers home game, and there are more than 100,000 fans on the season-ticket waiting list despite Green Bay being the NFL’s smallest city.

It’s actually that there wouldn’t be fans.

Is it the virus? Or do they have few fans left?

They have no fans left. We are opting out of football completely. To Hades with them all.
Packers season tickets are the most cherished in the nation. That’s a bad sign for the league.
As a long time fan, I now cheer for the league’s demise.
I heard someone say that NFL is the acronym for No Fans Left
The only folks who I am going to have any sympathy for at this point are the wage earners. Those who work at the stadiums at the concessions stands, clean the restrooms, the parking lot attendants, etc… . But the wealthy celebrity class athletes, managers, and owners who used the sports industry as a political soapbox are basically reaping what they have sown. Tragic, the fans pay good money to watch the game and get away from the headaches and heartburn of 21st Century politics, so it was only inevitable that such a boycott would take its toll.
So glad sports fans are finally standing up for their country and giving those privileged players who kneel during our National Anthem a swift kick.
