GAME OVER: NFL Owners STUNNED as Ratings PLUNGE 25%

That's going to cost the NFL billions. Letting these protests go on will mean suicide for the league. These players are too stupid to realize which side their bread is buttered on.


The National Football League continues to struggle with furious fans as player protests enter their second month, with ratings for the NFL’s flagship ‘Sunday Night Football’ down a staggering 25% from this time last week.

According to Deadline Hollywood, television viewership for the troubled football association continued its free fall from previous weeks, with roughly one quarter fewer fans tuning in as the Detroit Lions faced off against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“With that, as the league and broadcasters have been losing ratings traction and snared in political controversy this season, last night’s Week 8 NFL game is down a hard 25% for SNF from last week’s gridiron battle. That Super Bowl LI re-match saw the New England Patriots blowout the Atlanta Falcons 23-7,” writes Deadline.

The NFL has been struggling to regain its footing following weeks of players choosing to “take a knee” during the performance of the US national anthem. The ensuing controversy gained national attention when President Trump called for a total boycott of the NFL until officials and owners require players to stand during the ‘Star-Spangled Banner.’

As a result, ratings, ticket purchases, and merchandise sales have plummeted as football fans protest with their wallets.
if they were truly wanting social change they'd get off their asses and knees and go change it.

why not spend said time working with local charities and organizations to effect change?
why not organize the players into community events to hold with the police and military to show 'teamwork'?
why not work with the police to better understand their jobs are not always easy and put them in test situations to better understand their viewpoint.

there's a lot of things they can do to show they care about the community and want to make a positive change.

this isn't it.

The dumbasses don't seem to understand the rule "don't shit where you eat." They thought there would be no repercussions for their behavior. ESPN encouraged their idiocy.
they're on the tail end of the social justice warriors last stand.

i think people have had enough of getting mad at the topic of the day and have moved on. if that means leaving behind people doing this, their call.

So 75% must agree with the players... You are still a vast minority and dying off...

Hmmmm, no, it doesn't mean 75% of the players. There are a lot of reasons people might still watch even though they detest what the players are doing.

You obviously lack the capacity to commit logic.
 
The American football ratings are up, and have been for some time.

Little known fact, they were lower than they have been this year, in the recent previous years.

But to let the White Supremacists and their supporters tell it...it was the kneeling that caused the ratings to dive.

Look stupid let me explain this to you in real simple terms. I do not want politics in my football.
I don't care what color you are or what your agenda is. You are there to play football so shut the fuck up.
Can't shut up? Don't play.
What does your response have to do with the facts I stated?
 
Lions and Steelers game was full stadium last Sunday night.
That many people out there that hate the United States of America?
So if you go to a football game you hate America?
That's beyond bizarre. You're nuts.
So if you grab women's asses without their permission are you assaulting them like George HWBush is doing?
You better believe it!

Here's one: Trump's Mostly False claim that NFL ratings are 'way down'


?? That was from Sept 4. Season had barely started. Was no way to know, and yes, I mean Trump couldn't either.

I thought you knew something up to date. Thank you though.
 
Soccer is very simplistic and boring


I am in the minority. Huh? I think the World Cup is the greatest Tournament on Earth. Colorful, exciting, classy. Start to finish, edge of seat excitement. I also like the English Premier League. Sometimes they even score....just kidding.

The fact remains, the NFL ratings hasn't been in a drastic decline as the anti-first Amendment folks have been crowing.

And you're welcome.

England invented a game of running around kicking a ball in the mid-19th century (although the Chinese claim to have played a version centuries earlier). They called it “football,” not because the ball is played with the feet, but because the game is played on foot rather on horseback.Apr 2, 2012

I thought the Indians invented it kicking around skulls?


note: NYC bars are putting up signs...."NO NFL Games here". People on 10 yr. season ticket waiting lists are suddenly getting calls DUE TO CANCELLATIONS. something is going on up in here. I would not just say "it is not happening" because you don't think so. OKie Dokie?

Think of it this way: When entertainers do something so controversial, it will have an impact. About one-third of your audience is behind you, another third don't care either way, and you are really going to piss off the last third.

What makes this so stupid is if you don't get involved in controversial matters at all, you don't piss off anybody.
 
Yes, the NFL's TV ratings are down but so is the rest of network television

Through week seven, the NFL is down 5% overall from the same point last year. That's a troubling drop for the biggest ratings powerhouse on TV, but it seems less dire when you consider that the four major networks are down an average 8% in prime time.

NBC is down 4%, CBS is down 6%, ABC is down 11%, and Fox's prime time viewership dropped 20% through the first month of the new TV season, according to Nielsen data. And those numbers are down despite the inclusion of live sporting events, which usually bring in big audiences.

The NFL's sluggish viewership may be less a symptom of the league's problems and more about what's happening in the TV environment overall. The landscape has become incredibly fragmented, thanks to a flood of programming and competition from streaming services and from the internet, not to mention a 24-hour news cycle that comes with a breathtaking amount of content. Television, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon are all vying for the same eyeballs, and there are no signs that the deluge of programming will ebb any time soon.

Well that doesn't explain this:

TV Ratings Saturday: ABC’s college football rules again

I had a family member that became an alcoholic years ago. When we went to find help, the staff asked us if our family member knew she had a drinking problem? The theory being if a person doesn't believe they have a problem, it's difficult to help them because you can't solve a problem that isn' there in their mind.
 
What a coinky dinky that the 1st amendment went out of style as soon as Trump came on the seen. First condemning the free press which we need for a healthy democracy and then sticking his nose where it doesnt belong into the NFL.
Everything he touches turns to shit.

Remember the sheep mantra:
2nd amendment : sacred and can’t be touched..
1st amendment.: negotiable. Flexible based on the whims of a mad man.

That's because you're a leftist.

Leftists believe this is a free speech issue while the right believes it's a disrespect for our country issue.

none of that has anything to do with the 1st.

the left is so retarded that can tell the difference between talk and action.

Lol even if this bullshit “scandal” you drama queens keep harping on has affected the ratings, in one year’s time most of the whiny little bitches who are complaing now will stop giving a shit. In fact, I’m sure this year’s Super Bowl will bring the same profit from last year.

The real scandal of the NFL is them trying to cover up the effects playing the game has on the player’s brains over time. I’m sure you don’t give a shit about that though. You would rather whine about someone else’s freedom of speech.
These pampered pricks don’t have a brain. They have been pampered and had grades given to them since high-school.

Lets see you do what they do? Beats ass sitters with big mouths like Hannity and Rush.







They get paid millions to play a fucking game. The men who ride these bikes do it for the love of speed. They get paid virtually nothing and are the best in the world. And it is far more exciting to watch.
