The NBA survived Mahmoud Abdul Rouf, the NFL will survive this. $4 tickets to see the Colts v Bills is more likely because both teams suck and it's going to be snowing in Buffalo on Sunday. No doubt some of it is likely due to people misinterpreting the players kneeling for the anthem. I personally think playing the anthem before sporting events is a bit silly, but that's just my opinion. And has anyone ever wondered why they don't play the anthem before PGA events? PBA Bowling? Why aren't the players on the field in Memorial stadium for the anthem? The NFL could solve their problem by just having the players come out after the anthem is played.
