    Even the Hillbillies of NASCAR are in their hatred for dear
    leader Trump. Fear and obey Trump or you too will be punished
    for your insolence.

    Even Limbaugh knows better than to cross Trump. Trump has all
    the power while you are weak and stupid.

    "Thursday Night Football" gave football fans something of a
    surprise as the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Los Angeles
    Rams
    at Levi's Stadium in a barn-burner of a football game, ending
    with an enthralling fourth quarter by the Niners before
    falling
    just short of completing the comeback.

    The Rams' 41-39 victory was a shootout — and some of the most
    exciting "Thursday Night Football" fans had seen in recent
    memory, featuring a successful onside-kick attempt, late
    turnovers, and a backdoor cover that sent gamblers home either
    elated or furious.

    There was even an uptick in TV viewership:

    Alex Riethmiller @AlexRiethmiller
    Rams/49ers posts 4.4 rating & 7.4M viewers on @NFLNetwork.
    Thats
    up +18% & +22% vs 2016 avg across 4 TNF games on NFL Network

    But the game also served as a reminder of one of the NFL's
    recent woes: poor attendance.

    Shots of the stadium, like the one above, made clear that
    attendance was dismal for the primetime game. Despite claims
    that attendance was over 70,000, anyone with eyes could see
    that
    the stadium was largely empty, with even some of the best
    seats
    in the lower bowl left untaken.

    As SFGate noted, tickets were available on secondary markets
    for
    just $14 — about the price of a beer and hot dog inside the
    stadium. And still, few people found the time to support the
    Niners in person.

    People on the internet took notice, inspiring headlines
    including "The 49ers and Rams Played a Great Game in Front of
    an
    Empty Stadium" at The Big Lead and "It Appears Not Many People
    are Physically at the Rams-49ers Thursday Night Game" from
    Sports Illustrated.

    Additionally, Twitter was quick point out the empty seats,
    sharing images far and wide of the empty stadium:
