The TV audience for NFL games steepened its slide in Week 11, losing 1 million viewers versus last year’s season-to-date average.
The 6.3 percent slump — worsening from comparable declines of 5.6 to 5.7 percent during the previous three weeks — plagued a week whose off-the-field drama made gridiron tackling seem almost tame by comparison.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remained the major distraction by continuing to battle with fellow team owners and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Jones brought even more tension to Week 11 when video footage surfaced late last week of the football tycoon making a racially charged remark at a 2013 wedding party.

ReplyDeleteWe banned the NFL from our home yesterday and for the first time in a long time, our family actually talked about our lives and everything. It was nice to reconnect with my family instead of turning on the TV and watching a game. It's great the NFL has shot itself in the head because it allows people to do something else with the time they used to watch games for fleeting moments of satisfaction. This Thanksgiving will be remembered by my family much more than any sports game. Thank you, NFL!
