Hey, Andrew. I\u2019m glad you waited. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, I\u2019m great. Just a quick question. What do you think the NFL could do to win back its fans, guys like you and I who have been kind of turned off this year from watching these games.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-261623 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012418-NFL-Empty-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012418-NFL-Empty-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012418-NFL-Empty-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: That\u2019s a great question. It\u2019s not so much that I\u2019ve been turned off. I just&#8230; Maybe that\u2019s what it is. When this thing all started going down, I just got sad. I got sad; I was disappointed in the players. And that\u2019s the worst thing that can happen. I remember when I worked for the Royals baseball team, Kansas City Royals. Whenever something would happen and the players would be the object of fans\u2019 anger, the management said, &#8220;Oh, this is the worst thing that can happen!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The players are what we\u2019re selling. We\u2019d rather them be mad at us for making bad trades. We don\u2019t want \u2019em mad at the players,&#8221; and that\u2019s absolutely right. And I just&#8230; Once the players had taken such an obvious political side and were making it clear that they had animosity for people like me, I just&#8230; It destroyed the ingredients necessary to be a fan. That\u2019s a great question. You know, I\u2019ll think about that. We\u2019ll talk about this more when we next get together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: That&#039;s a great question. You know, I&#039;ll think about that.
