After President Trump finally spoke up for tens of millions of voiceless Americans disgusted over spoiled NFL crybabies disrespecting the American flag and anthem, the controversy finally erupted over the weekend.
You would think that this firestorm would have resulted in record ratings for Sunday Night Football, or at least a ratings boost. Unfortunately for the anti-American NFL, the exact opposite proved true with an 8 percent drop in viewership, compared to last week. This is a new season low.
Compared to this time last year, the ratings decline was in the double-digits, a full 10 percent.
This should come as no surprise. Fans are disgusted with the NFL, not only for politicizing the game they love but that league policies reveal a left-wing anti-American streak.
For years, fans have watched the NFL use the threat of fines and suspensions to shut down every form of self-expression. Players were not allowed to raise awareness for domestic violence or breast cancer; they were threatened if they dared suggest honoring slain police officers or even victims of the September 11 terror attacks.

ReplyDeleteGood, good, good, football takes up too much of tv anyway.
ReplyDelete2 marquee teams probably would increase ratings!
ReplyDeleteWe're 3 games in...
ReplyDeleteI find it ironic how Nielsen hasn't updated their top 10 Cable Network TV ratings (the list where the NFL typically remains on top) since the week of September 11th.

And all Trump did was help boost ratings for last week with his comments. People watched to see how professional or unprofessional the NFL would react, Now wait until Monday/Tuesday to see how really bad the ratings and attendance are going to be! I can take time off from football to prove a point, won't cost me dime LOL!
