Jones will not lose unless there is something very specific in the CBA. If so, it will not impact anyone else besides the NFL.
Politics and Football - has it impacted your watching?

This past weekend was the first time in a long time that I didn't watch a single minute of NFL football. I'm very close to tossing in the towel with my fantasy team. May announce to my league that I'll accept any and all trades, fill my lineup with scraps and delete the app.
I don't care that they are protesting but, I'm sick and tired of the non-stop coverage of their protesting. Watching the games was a way to get away from that crap but now you can't. The announcers won't shut up about it, the sideline reporters won't shut up about it, the halftime crew won't shut up about it and the post game guys won't shut up about it. ESPN, all week long, shoves it down our throats. The President won't shut up about it either and now the vice-president.
In the past you never saw the national anthem on TV unless it was a major sporting event like the World Series, Super Bowl etc. Now they make a point to show it before every NFL games with a camera in the faces of the kneeling players. Many times they don't even show the flag, which is more of an insult IMO then the players kneeling. It's TV saying "we don't care about the anthem, just the controversy".
Enough is enough. I'm done watching the NFL until the politics are removed from the broadcast. As far as my fantasy team, I'll give it a few more weeks but, at this point, I have little interest left in playing.

I thought this was an interesting thread to revisit with today's hindsight.
It can serve to refresh the memory of how well received the NLF players' attempts to protest peacefully with no rioting or looting were...
The kneeling acts were always protesting police violence on minorities, although to read this thread Trump obviously had people confused enough that it was misunderstood as a disrespect for the flag.
