Unfortunately, your prediction is 100% accurate. They are anti/unAmerican scum.

“NFL Broadcasting Stocks Slump As Protests Rise And TV Ratings Fall”

There is no connection between politicizing the games and the loss of viewers. It’s the election, the Olympics, the hurricanes, bad match ups, and demographics. Nothing more.

Pretending that the protests are hurting viewership is as absurd as pretending there is a connection between Islam and the occasional lone-wolf terrorist attack. It’s #FakeNews from the same people who pretended there was something wrong with Hillary as a candidate and that Donald Trump had a chance to win. Nothing more.

“The value of the NFL is dropping like a rock.”

“I think that Bob Seger song, “Like a Rock”, needs some modification to fit the new America-hating NFL.”

Seger is an Ann Arbor (Moscow on the Huron) native who is a flaming leftie from way, way back. His “blue collar” “rock and roll never forgits” schtick was always a total scam to make money, nothing more. Just ask the “Nuge”.

That document is likely discoverable in a lawsuit. Time for the owners of the Green Bay Packers to sue Goodell and the league management in general.

"But the trend is not good for the league and its networks. No one seems happy."

They sure got that wrong. I'm happy.

FReepers were well aware and attempting to sound the alarm:
ONCE IN OFFICE THE DAMAGE WOULD BE DONE AND HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE. The country would come out tattered after such a regime.

Were we right or were we right on? Hut. Hut.

The NFL naturally is aligned with the last populations that watch TV; the whole entertainment industry has been in decline since more and more Americans switched from turning on a TV after dinner to turning on a computer. So much TV is geared towards lower-IQ people (which coincidentally includes many pigmentation-disadvantaged - see “The Bell Curve”) because they are the last people to respond to TV advertising...

Taxpayers fund these stadiums to the tune of over a billion dollars

Also streaming services.

However, Forbes editors are not drawing a cause-effect relation. They are drawing a correlation association.

The point Ozanian is making is in the question “is it wise for this social protest unrelated to NFL entertainment to occur amidst falling revenues?”. And related questions such as “Is it wise to broadcast and amplify anti-Trump social justice antics that are irrelevant to the entertainment product?”.

The media for NFL still has opportunities to shape the narrative. The NFL owners have opportunities to clamp down on social justice protest disruptions.

These protests are no different than a couple of Black Lives Matter protestors storming into a busy restaurant to scream and shout about their issues, and with a couple of numbskull reporters following with cameras playing it up. If the restaurant and the reporter’s broadcasters have started to lose customers and viewers to competition, is it wise for the business owners to put up with the BLM disruptors? Of course not. The business owners should call the cops and tell the protestors to get the hell out.
