ESPN + kneelers = failure.
Not low enough.
Can no one at the NFL read a spreadsheet? Or a ratings graph? Do they honestly not understand what is going on? Do they not care? The owners are supposed to be smart people and they employ Goodell. Do they not care as their business is collapsing? This is just baffling.
The NFL can win me back if I see an apology Your!!!
More NFL teams renamed: Oakland Traitors, Baltimore Cravens, Buffalo Bolsheviks, Green Bay Pinkos, Washington Red Guards, Los Angeles Chekists, Jacksonville Jacobins.
The Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!
It really makes me glad that so many of my fellow Americans have made the effort to show the NFL and ESPN just how awful we think they are.
Time for the NFL to triple-down!
Ratings peaked when the ALCS game between the Yankees and Astros ended. That's when I tuned into MNF.
When ever embracing any ways or ideologues of the left will always result in reduced ecomonic activity.
If that is what the left’s agenda is here, Then they won.
This taking the knee during our national anthem is a wedge issue were the blind are leading the blind into the ditch.
It’s soul purpose is not protesting the so called “ injustices “ by white police officers against black law breakers but rather it’s a wedge to conquer and divide by stoking up the flames of racial tentions.
Even if the owners of the N.F.L. abide by their demands it will never be enough until the white man fully pays for some social injustices imaginary or real.
This thing needs to be nipped in the bud.
This is also a finger in the eye of authority these protests taking the knee.
A commercial gets a higher rating than the game? This is what pushing back looks like.
It’s interesting to look at MNF football ratings over the years. I was able to find a chart that went only to 2002 but it shows that 30 years ago the average rating was 17.4, meaning that the audience for this game has collapsed.

I only turned it on toward the end because the baseball game was such a stinker and there wasn’t any hockey on.

Even without the controversy, those AFC South ‘powerhouses’ Tennessee and Indianapolis aren’t much of a draw...
Tired of all the winning yet? Who in the Hell cares about Tennessee and Indianapolis even if the NFL weren't collapsing?
Living in PA (outside of Philly) I picked the wrong season to boycott-I ain’t going to lie, it’s been tough but I will stick to my guns—LOL. I told my wife, I can guarantee because I am boycotting football they’ll (Eagles) finally make it to the Superbowl!
What is this “football” of which you speak?
Monday Night Football used to be an event. Great teams, great players, great announcers. That’s no longer the case and it hasn’t been for many years.
