Olympics ratings in the dumper

Ratings for sporting events in general have been declining. SJW's have ruined sports for a good deal of the population.

Olympic Ratings Fall Sharply: NBC Says 17 Million Watched Opening Ceremony In U.S.​

Around 17 million Americans tuned into the opening ceremony for the Tokyo Olympics on Friday, according to NBC, a steep dropoff from previous Olympic Games openers, as live TV programs face an across-the-board dip in viewership this year. NBC’s 17 million figure includes both television and online streaming audiences, and it factors in two different airings of the spectator-free spectacle: a live broadcast early Friday morning and a primetime rebroadcast more than 12 hours later.

The Olympics have been boring
Politics have nothing to do with it

Sure. Nothing about the athletes making a majority of Americans NOT feel a sense of national pride has anything to do with ratings...at all.

I watched some swimming the other day. Phelps did a good job describing the action. Impressive.

Now that I don't have cable and work nights...the viewing options are limited.

You're kidding yourself if you do not believe the anthem kneelers haven't put a dent in viewership for sporting events.

In all honesty this probably has a lot to do with no good streaming options to watch.
Many millions of Americans don't have cable anymore. We stream.
Roku channel has highlites and replays but not live.
Peacock has much more high lights and replays and only some things live.
Fubo and Hulu+ have it live, but most streamers don't buy that.

Very few watch the medal ceremony anyway

As much as NBC has tried, they have not generated much star power.
Simone Byles will only get you so far

I think ratings always suck when the olympics falls in one of those host countries that is in a radically different time zone than the US because there is so much that people cannot watch live as a practical matter as they are at work or school or whatever.

The Olympics were always boring. I was an athlete and sports is boring just like any job gets boring.

Plus, streaming does not count towards network ratings

The medal ceremony is not where the kneeling goes down.

And it's a whole lot more than just that.

CRT is doing it's job nicely.
