Even after Jags had a HUGE road win just one week prior at Pittsburgh, Jags yesterday drew the smallest "announced" crowd for a home game since 2009...as it seems some Jag fans didn't like their players kneeling for the anthem on foreign soil.

One fan spent $$$ to fly this banner over the stadium area prior to kickoff

Ironically, a long-time season tix holder was kicked out of the stadium for her "silent" protest of some signs she brought in with her because Jags official said her's were political (which they werent) but the player's protest was not.

Now Jags Owner who was a Trump supporter is blaming the President and not his players/team's actions while they were in London for these issues.

Gonna go with that's not why the crowd was horrible. Their crowds are just horrible.
 
I went... Saw no one disrespecting from my seat. After two touchdowns in the first 25 seconds the game was pretty boring. Lots of short passes for Blake and special teams cost us a win.
 
Banner should read: "Be American: stay seated and crack jokes during Retreat."
 
You want to see stupidity, check out the look a like thread on the free board. Our resident psycho path Jedi Knight keeping it real classy.
 
NFL owners are in a tight spot. Many back Trump .... but they can't go against their own players or no free agents will ever sign with them again.

It's the same reason you see so many NBA coaches and owners ragging on Trump now. 90% of the league is black and you will alienate everybody if you agree with Trump.
 
This game was even a late afternoon kickoff (4:20 pm) and this is what it looked like.

Some radio shows in Jax today laughed at the Jags "announced" attendance of 56,000 plus.

 
Lots of Navy folks in Jax ... lots of them go (went) to games.

And it certainly didn't help get them back to the stadium after one Jag told the press that "fans should stay home".

Guess more than a few did.
