The disrespect for America shown by some NFL players has given Donald Trump supporters a chance to “vote early” and they are taking it.
Another NFL week has passed and the boycott of viewers has actually picked up steam. By one account, available data shows a 30% drop in viewership for Monday night’s game between “Somebody and Who cares?”
Naturally the leftists in sports writing are telling us it’s the bland product or the movement to appliances they can’t track that are causing the steep drop in viewership and “blah blah blah;” anything but the truth. Apparently, sports writers missed the fact that Forty Niners’ quarterback and Black Lives Matter fan Colin Kaepernick was roundly booed by Buffalo fans both before and during the game last Sunday.
To keep up their assignment from the Ministry of Information they are forced to dance around the truth; and the truth in their cell is tougher to deny.
Since they won’t ask them, here are the answers to the questions they should be asking.
Who watches NFL games; who are Trump’s supporters and how to they lineup?
NFL games are watched by fans who are 70% over 35; 78% White and 59% make less than $75,000 a year.
Men are slightly over-represented in the NFL fans demographics when compared to women, with 55% of the total 150 million strong demographic being male.
The annual income of 26% of NFL fans is $40,000 or less.
The 55+ age demographic is the largest percentage of the NFL fans demographics at 37%. Another 34% of NFL fans are in the 35-54 age demographic.
And social media? “The NBA finals averages 26.7 million tweets over the course of a 4-7 game final. In comparison, the Super Bowl in just one game generates over 26 million tweets...

What is an “NFL”? I must have forgotten, but it sounds familiar.
No, no. It was just a weather phenomenon. Higher than normal autumn temperatures have drawn people away from TV’s on Sundays
(Yes, I actually heard that....)
What is an “NFL”?
I don’t know. What is a mainstream media?
It’s a once GREAT league for a STILL GREAT sport.
It has truly dampened my desire to watch the game I love.
Surprised though how so many FReepers dont watch football.
Kind of man’s sport compared to NBA and MLB I would think
> The annual income of 26% of NFL fans is $40,000 or less.
Given the cost of actually attending a game, this demographic is making a huge commitment of their disposable income.
Global warming is to blame.
They’ve tried to politicize NFL and doing that is killing it.
A gay-friendly leftist-friendly NFL is the last thing most people want to watch.
The leftists at ESPN might want to consider new carreer paths.
Haven’t yet watched any NFL games this season. I was really sad when I realized, a few years ago, that the Lefties were trying to get rid of football (the Redskins controversy, the concussions problem, etc), but now I couldn’t care less. When they mess with loyalty to my country, well I guess they have done their job. Football was so much fun to watch. Now it is nothing but another political ‘football’ with which to contend. Is there ANYTHING that the Left will not politicize??
“I haven’t watched one game this year because of that moron Kapernick injecting his racial politics into the game.”
Not for nothing but didn’t Kap start his protest before the 3rd game of the year? What’s your reason for the first two weeks of the season?
NFL Comissioner Roger Whosit needs to take a knee.
Almost makes one wonder if this isn't just another line-item in the lefty playbook to get people to abandon the NFL...
“Is there ANYTHING that the Left will not politicize??”
No.
It is a totalitarian religion - an unquenchable lust for power.
My mistake...I guess he started in pre-season.
