Wisdom of Yogi Berra offered to NFL: “If people don't want to come to the ballpark, nobody can stop them." 1994 baseball strike lost some fans permanently-commenter TBP

Wisdom of Yogi Berra offered to NFL, among comments to Joel Sherman 9/25/17 NY Post article, "Donald Trump attacked what makes America great," at Free Republic

"Remember how baseball lost fans after the 1994 strike? Some of those have never come back. As Yogi Berra said, 

“If people don't want to come to the ballpark, nobody can stop them."

Now it’s starting to happen to the invincible NFL, the league nobody could destroy. It looks like the NFL is on a suicide mission, and I’m quite happy to help them along with that.

Again, from Billy Joel: “And you can speak your mind, but not on my time.”
