There’s no denying that the numerous #BoycottNFL online campaigns and fan outrage aimed at the National Anthem protests in the NFL have taken a toll in terms of viewership... now the league is on pace for its lowest ratings in years... Overall, MNF‘s (Monday Night Football's) ratings are down a whopping 19% this year
(Excerpt) Read more at forbes.com ...
I used to watch pretty much every NFL game I could. Now I just watch my Cowboys (to my knowledge, none of them are doing this stupidity).
Let’s not just boycott them, but break them.
NFL fans are collaborating with America-haters. Yet they seem proud to be waving their pom-poms
Saw a news photo of one of the Colts pulling this crap. That sealed it for me.
BTW NFL morons, that’s a drop from watching about seven games a week to one. That’s an 86% drop in my viewership.
I’m certainly not the only one. And I am not coming back.
This has already cost you billions in future revenue.
You are hemoraging money and interest ya idiots. Stem the flow or bleed out.
Frankly, though, at this point I could not care less if you do or do not.
I don’t think Monday night is necessary but 2-3 times a year anyway. Mon, Sun, Thu, Sat College...too much.
May they never recover. The dweebs.
It is interesting, football promoted patriotism for so long it was like football=’merica
Then all of a sudden this season we are all so cotton pickin’ sorry for being citizens of the U.S.
we have to make a big Protest out of it
asinine.
AHHH YES, FOOTBALL
Football – along with “professional” wrestling – is the Heavyweight Division of the Celebrity Worship Club where watching 300 pound men in tights making 6 and 7 figure salaries knock the piss out of one another will somehow make the lives of those who witness this activity better and more worthwhile.
The Beautiful People Division of the Club, which serves a similar purpose (occasionally sans the violence) is currently headed by some Armenian American Princess named Kim Kardashian. With no demonstrable talent, this broad is best known for the considerable size of her breasts and gluteus maximus muscles which are so large they have been assigned their own zip code and her tits are believed to have an independent weather system. And thanks to the mindless morons who are living their pathetic lives vicariously through her BS TV shows, this “Famous” for being “famous” broad (what the hell's THAT all about??) is able to lose over 11 million bucks worth of jewelry to a thief in Paris. As is the case with the Heavyweight Division, watching and reading about the comings and goings of the members of this division is also believed to enhance the lives of the average citizen.
In the early days of the American Republic, there was also a Political Division. It was disbanded due to loss of interest after the election of “progressive” hero Woodrow Wilson, father of the One World forerunner of the beloved United Nations, the League of Nations, the Federal Reserve and – drum roll, please – THE INCOME TAX!
In that vein, a wag once lamented the numbers of “citizens” (and I use the term VERY loosely) who take no interest in politics by correctly remarking “You may not be interested in politics but, trust me when I say that POLITICS HAS A KEEN INTEREST IN YOU!' That's a variation of a comment by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. who also correctly opined in 1884 “...as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.”
Want to do something that might actually have some impact on YOUR LIFE more important than watching those 300 pounders beat the crap out of each other? You can start by visiting these sites and learning how YOUR rep and senators are screwing you and your kids and grand kids out of their birthright:
The NFL has chosen to go PC and it will pay dearly, unless it changes course. A good first step would be to replace Roger Goodell as Commissioner. He has done his best to destroy the NFL by wussafying it and imposing PC all over the game.
“football promoted patriotism for so long it was like football=’merica”
Probably why the left targeted it for infiltration and destruction - like religion.
why?
feminizing the rules of the game and all the stops for review added to the cherry on the cake, player’s protests.
Pretty soon they will use a round ball, allow feet only and run around in shorts over acting every time they bump into each other.
it's already being done. Check out this at Eastern Carolina University

after last week's game against my Seahawks, you have my sympathy. It's going to be a long season for your lads, I'm afraid.
What the ####? been following for 40 years, i’m 48. NOTHING.
best defensive line, decker, marshall and a few other very good receivers. very good offensive line.
no secondary (revis aging), linebackers weak, no tight end worth mentioning
average QB at best.
Wilson is great. I HATE the patriots and will never forgive the hawks for throwing at the end of the game
You are not alone in that, FRiend!
As she broke up the scrum fighting for an apparently fumbled football, she signaled that it was a turnover to the other team, San Francisco.
Meanwhile clearly in the very frame of the visual you were seeing on TV was the Browns' runner holding the football in his hands, a few feet back away from the pile of players.
My guess is the bookmakers were none to happy as the bad call may have ultimately decided the game. OR, the play serves as ammo for those who argue that pro sports, particularly NFL, are fixed. Rigged.
so far, I have not watched one snap. And Ive convinced friends they should not be watching either. I at least got out of them they will only watch their teams games.
Tell sponsors
The NFL is rapidly becoming the NBA - remarkably large Negroes exerting themselves.
For my part, I find the whole NFL production absurd.
