    So now are all the anti knee folks here going to boycott Fox? They now support and contribute money to the NFL.

    It's funny how money talks and bull **** walks, LOL

    It's a pretty smart business move. Drive down the cost and then buy it low.

    To come full circle all Fox needs to do is hire Colin Kaepernick to do the games, lol

    I don't think Thursday Night Football will last 5 years. It's ridiculous.

    I agree. There's a market glut. Man, MNF was my only prime time program for about 4 decades. Now, the luster is long worn off.
    And yes, players should hate it and for once I agree with them. It's rough to play another game in three or four days. Dangerous, even.

    Kneeling issue aside, Fox News aside....I have never really enjoyed Fox Sports coverage. Joe Buck and troy Aikman annoy the **** out of me. If they're doing a game I wanna see, I crank down their volume and crank on some music (like Cal Naughten Jr. on Talladega Nights).

    As far as irony goes, Fox Network family has always been about entertainment. It's not family values. Hell, that's the network that gave us edgier programming than any of the other three networks (Al Bundy, Bart Simpson, Peter Griffin, In Living Color). Far as I see it, other than Fox Sports, that network "owns" all its competitors.

    This concern has been disproven with injury studies. 2017 season was actually the very first time injuries sustained on Thursday night games was a hair higher than Sunday/Monday games. Since then they actually always were less likely in comparison.

    I don't blame the players disliking them, however the injury concern argument is not a good one.

    This is an interesting topic. I'm curious how this will affect loyal followers of both NFL or Fox. Especially those that are boycotting the NFL. I could care less as long as Troy Aikman and Joe Buck don't commentate on the Packer games.
