NFL - TV Ratings Down 20%

[Papageorgio]

The NFL ratings are tanking!!! . Since the weirdo Kapernutjob and his comrades started disrespecting our National Anthem, the NFL TV ratings have dropped significantly, with no end in sight.

with a 14.6/25 in meter-market ratings, the beginning of the new NFL season was not exactly a winner for the league and NBC.

Of course, last night’s 8:45 PM – midnight ET game comes off last season’s sacked ratings, as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was soundly booed and mocked by clown nose sporting Patriots fans at Foxborough last night, the Comcast-owned net and others are more than aware. Starting out in a 12% decline, a generous analysis had ratings for the 2016-2017 season down around 8% overall from the year before in the end.

On a personal note- this is the first season in 20 years that I am not playing any Fantasy Football. None. I just don't care about it anymore. I don't think I am alone either.

And are these ratings going down because someone protested, or are they going down because less people are interested in NFL and have other things to do?

Remember, the economy is doing better, more people are working, entertainment increases in all areas meaning competition is increasing for viewing figures.

I know of 8 people personally that quit watching the NFL because of players sitting, not just Kap. In fact I am almost done with it because of the BS.

Of course it is a combination of things.

But Kaperwingnut and the other clowns disrespecting our flag and National anthem has turned off a lot of people.

How many people is a lot of people? 5? 10? 20 million?

Millions of people were preparing for a hurricane or on the road to get out of its path, ya moron. It was Irma, not Kaepernick, which lowered ratings.

The state of Florida was unaccounted for in the TV ratings, due to Hurricane Irma. So, no. Try again.

That's not what your own link says....

In fact, with Hurricane Irma evacuations in Florida likely having an effect on viewership in the Sunshine State, this is the first time in five years that the total audience of the kickoff game has fallen below 25 million. And, while the most watched network show in three months, even with streaming and other NBC platforms bumping things up to 22.2 million, the game still fell short of the 25 million mark.​

They're counting the total audience. Even worse for your thread, preseason viewership was up before the hurricane...

Before last night’s results, a sliver of hope had seemed to emerge as this year’s preseason games were up 5% over the 2016 exhibitions.​

Irma was the cause, not Kaepernick.

MHmmmm. Sure.

That's why the ratings were WAY down again this week.

While NFL games remain some of the most-watched content on television, ratings slid 12 percent in the NFL's opening weekend, with many blaming Hurricane Irma. But without dramatic weather, the second weekend was off 15 percent year-over-year. This comes after an 8 percent ratings slump last season.

In Florida alone, there were still more than a million people without electricity...

1.1 million in Florida still without power after Irma

Feel free to break out the excuse machine next week......

Dammit its all Collin Kaepernicks fault. Kap told Conservative Amerika to go fuck off.

It's called compartmentalization. It allows you to have two contrary beliefs, and spout them off, just so long as you keep the two apart. Happens all the time on here.

Ray of Cleveland said that "choice is freedom" when discussing school vouchers, but when it comes to discussing the electoral system, he seems rather shy of wanting actual choice.

Nice try bub. But I don't care if Kaperdirtbag shits on the flag on Monday Night Football. He has the right to do that.

But he was an employee of the NFL when he refused to stand for the National Anthem. AFAIC, he represented his team, and by extension, the National Football League. Because they are employees, the NFL could easily stop these clowns from acting like fools, but they haven't. So I am exercising my right to stop watching.

Apparently a lot of other people feel the same way.

There are a number of factors that are probably part of the decline in viewership of the NFL lately. Kaepernick and others protesting is one, but how much impact it actually has had is hard to say.

We'll see as the season goes on if the hurricanes are the biggest reason for the decline so far.

One or two percent might be attributable to Kaepernick, but I can't imagine more than that, especially since he's not even playing anymore.

No one said Colin Kaepernick can’t exercise his free speech. He is allowed to and the rest of America can exercise their right by reacting to what he said.

In the case of Berkeley they have a right to respond to those that exercise free speech but in a civilized society they are not allowed to use violence.

See the difference, opinions, thoughts, demonstrations boycotting are fine, violence and suppressing thought and opinion are not.

Useless for you, I know of only eight people that quit watching and all eight are united that it is the players actions during the anthem that caused them to stop watching. I’m close to being the ninth for the same reason.

It doesn’t matter if you or the NFL gets it. The NFL has a problem and they need to either address or continue to lose fans. You and they can be ostriches, it makes no difference to me.

The drop came at the same time the controversy started with the kneeling during the anthem. It isn’t a coincidence, it is a coincidence that may friends told me. Like I said believe what you need to believe.

Let’s see your link that it is only 2%.

Sorry, my bad. It's 3%, not 2%, and it's in your link; which reminded me it was only 3%.

One or two percent might be attributable to Kaepernick, but I can't imagine more than that, especially since he's not even playing anymore.

I think it is much higher than that and it isn’t just Kaepernick, their are other players as well.

A poll was taken last year which indicated 2% of the decline was attributable to Kaepernick.

I know 8 that have quit watching the NFL games, they all say it is because of the players and I am about there and it isn’t just Kaepernick it many players, Kap was the first to make it visible.

So you say, but all you really prove is why anecdotal evidence on anonymous forums is so unreliable and so useless.

Useless for you, I know of only eight people that quit watching and all eight are united that it is the players actions during the anthem that caused them to stop watching. I’m close to being the ninth for the same reason.

It doesn’t matter if you or the NFL gets it. The NFL has a problem and they need to either address or continue to lose fans. You and they can be ostriches, it makes no difference to me.

I'll admit, I don't get it. This is a league that's had spousal abusers, drunk drivers, drug users (recreational and performance enhancing), hit-and-run drivers, cheaters, child abusers, dog killers, and people involved in murders playing. None of that drove you to stop watching, but some guys kneeling during the anthem is a reason to stop watching? It seems like very odd priorities to me.

I find it much easier to believe that the protests are more of a last straw than a sole reason. Inconsistent punishments by Goodell, rules against various types of hitting, even just poor overall play all make for a less enjoyable product. Someone who isn't enjoying football that much deciding not to watch because of the protests, I can get. Someone who loves football, really wants to watch it, but decides not to because of the protests, that just seems odd.

when are people here such as the OP going to come to grip with reality that this person below and his coach is the reason NFL football ratings are at an all time low?

when the thursday night game is the CHEATRIOTS and nobody is tuning into the game,the "ONLY" NFL game being shown no less,that speaks for itself.


The NFL Kickoff Game was the lowest rated since 2008 and least-watched since 2009.

Only an idiot would say kapernick is to blame,the guy doesnt even play for that team OR the chiefs/.comedy gold.

speaking of the asshole that has tainted and ruined a great sport along with his coach,as much as I hate this motherfucker for doing so,for the first time ever and probably the last,I am one of the few people here that actually agree with Brady in what he has been quoted to have said about Kapernick in this video.

most the american sheep dont get it that kapernick is a patriot for not saluting our corrupt govermmet because they have been brainwashed it is the land of the free where in reality the land of the OPPRESSED.so after this video gets out which was just made today ,I have a hard time believing Brady will have many supporters left even in NE.would love them to hate tom brady but this would be for the wrong reason though if they chose to for sticking up fro kapernick.

You think Tom Brady is going to lose a lot of fans because he thinks Kaepernick is good enough to play for an NFL team? Really?

I am not saying that,the article is.Brady just wanting him back in the league will not sit well with alot of his supporters obviously is all I myself am saying.
