Franchise paying the price for virtue-signaling its fans
Over just one month of player, coach and owner protests of the flag and National Anthem, the National Football League has gone from America’s sport to the least liked of top professional and college sports, according to a new poll.
From the end of August to the end of September, the favorable ratings for the NFL have dropped from 57 percent to 44 percent, and it has the highest unfavorable rating — 40 percent — of any big sport, according to the Winston Group survey provided exclusively to Secrets.
Worse for football, which was already seeing lower TV ratings and empty stadium seats, the month of protests and complaints about them from President Trump drove core fans, men 34-54, away, the most significant indicator that NFL brass aren’t in touch with their base.

ReplyDelete901 Hi Nancy time for meds.
DeleteGosh! I wonder WHY?????
ReplyDeleteLosers are losers and we came here to watch winners playing FOOTBALL.
We watch SPORTS because we had a full week of war, politics, sales, opinions, religion, and other consternation.
That's why we come to sports, to go to a place that has nothing but teamwork, mano on mano, physical competition, hard fought battles for the win, and fair game play.
Not for pussy kneeling and disrespect. If we wanted that, we would watch CNN.
We're not stupid. We love our Country and come to Sports to get away from the weekly drivel of wacko news. Give us what we came for or we go away.
ReplyDeleteBaseball and Nascar happen every weekend, and NBA, Hockey, volleyball.....
I am one! Baseball, Nascar, Hockey, Soccer.....Plenty of sports out there that just show sports. Competition. One on one. Team on team.
ReplyDeleteThat's why IU watch sports; there's none of the other crap I have to see all week. nNo war. No protests. No freaky idiots.
No opinions on politics.
No classified ads. no "Human Interest" stories.
S P O R T S. Watch them for that or turn them off.Steve
I use to love watching football, now I could care less and it's like a burden has been lifted. An addiction overcome! I'll never go back to watching or attending, ever! No matter what they say or do now, I'm gone. They could all personally come and bow down in front of me and apologise and I'd spit in their face! Because their true hatred for America is evident and their real feelings are clear. Any NFL fan that is honest with themselves knows the players are uneducated, despite college so-called degrees, and are thugs for the most part and that includes white and black players. Why did I ever watch and support those people? I'll admit, I was a dope!
ReplyDeleteMy father was an immigrant to this country and fled Socialism, he loved America every day. He fought in WWII at Normandy and through Europe, awarded 3 Bronze Stars and other numerous awards--I never knew, he never spoke about it, found out in his papers after he died. He was a real Patriot, NFL players are weak pathetic pansies, not patriots, heroes, or role models. Do they protest absentee fatherhood that leads to the decline of so many families and the real cause of the violence and crime we see in the inner cites? No! Did they protest black on black crime and murders, NO, never! Did they protest when BLM said kill police, NO, never! Do they actually do anything to make any real change to their so-called cause, NO, they actually admit to not even understanding why they are protesting--find the actual words of Ray Lewis as an example. If you hate police, you disrespect our flag and nation then I will never again support you in any way manner or means!! NFL, all BLM, all Antifa, all liberal protesters, you are all the same: weak, pathetic, crude, disrespectful, fake! I love America, will fight and die for this country including your right to be a fool, but when the NFL disrespects us I'll vote with my lack of viewership and any means of support. IT'S A SILLY GAME! WE WATCH GROWN MEN CRASH INTO EACH OTHER AND WATCH FROM THE SIDELINES LIKE IT'S ACTUALLY IMPORTANT OR ENTERTAINING, NOT EVER AGAIN FOR ME!!
It's their own damn fault it is the worst watched league. A bunch of whiney, way way overpaid clowns, out on a field does not interest me just even one little bit and even less because of what they do before the start of a game. No coverage, at all, of any of their games, would be the best thing ever.
ReplyDeleteNOW watch the owners and the NFL respond to the black players. It's going to hit them worse than any linebacker could.
ReplyDeleteAnd now the black players will find out who their bosses are, and in case they never looked, who signs their paychecks. Fans are why they even have a job. The crybaby "protesters" showed their stupidity, regardless of how talented they are at playing football, when they chose to offend our National symbols at the start of the games. They are low level thinkers; not better than the rest of America that watches (or used to watch) them play a violent game. Apparently you have to be stupid to play the game, and stupid to watch, if the players turn the game into some kind of alleged political protest.
ReplyDeleteIt's a win win for the Globalists they have been trying to shut down the NFL for years because it's part of the culture they want to kill. If it dies they are happy and if not it's a platform to push their political agenda.
ReplyDeleteGlobalists, NFL...no connection!
ReplyDeleteThe NFL and the owners are getting ready to learn another lesson the hard way. It is easier to do what it takes to keep a fan (customer), than it is to get a pissed off fan (customer) back. Not nipping it in the bud and punishing the first one that did it, and making sure that the other players knew that there would be consequences if they did it, just allowed a little protest by one player to become a full blown black eye (pun intended) for the NFL. They have let the fans get so angry over this that some of them will never come back to the game. The NFL and the owners have permanently lost fans over this controversy. It didn't have to happen. But this IS what happens when people are AFRAID of blacks. And blacks will take advantage of that fear. It happens on the streets, in the workplace, and in convenience stores. They WANT white people to fear them, then they can do what they want, and take what they want. The NFL screwed this one up, big time.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather listen to golf on the radio.
