Theres 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, MNFs (Monday Night Football's) ratings are down a whopping 19% this year

I know they do pre-game for ESPN on Sundays.
Anyway, those two guys are so boring, so repetitive, and so vacuous, I have to mute the audio when they are on camera.
Why do sports programs insist on hiring retired Black superstars as analysts and commentators?
I'll speculate there are dozens of retired Black football players that nobody remembers who have ten times the communication skills that Moss and Woodson have.
I agree
It’s black thuggery that ruined it
Just like the NBA
I’ll miss my Saints but I’ll get over it
I wonder what the ticket price trend is on sites like StubHub. That would also be a good tracker of fan loyalty, I’d imagine.
There’s always Hockey (:
i saw an article or meme somewhere that quoted Jerry and he has a bottom line, you disrespect while representing the Cowboys then it will be the last thing you ever do as a Cowboy.
SF can ESAD.
I takes half a brain to wash cars. These morons couldn’t spell “CAT”
if you spotted them a C and T. That was “Hollywood Henderson’s” comment
on Terry Bradshaw.
"In an appearance on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" Monday morning, Williams referred to a June golf game with Obama and House Speaker John Boehner on the same team, against Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, as "one of the biggest political mistakes ever."
Asked what he didn't like about it, Williams said, "Come on. That'd be like (Adolf) Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu. Not hardly."
And here we are some what? 15 years later ? ... with all the "victims" publicly dissing the nation that MADE them ..!!?!??
We red (white and blue) necks OWN our country ... NOT you frikkin' interlopers from Africa !
The decline in popularity of the NFL is over-determined. I stopped watching a while ago due to player thuggery combined with the fact that I no longer have the patience to spend 3 1/2 hours to watch 13 minutes of play. For others it was bad reffing. For still others it’s the politicization of something that should be a non-political escape from the problems of the day.
Good. I mostly have no use for the NFL and they keep getting worse.
Thank you for saying “you could NOT care less”.
:)
Good to hear they were booed. Ridiculous all these SJW’s.
Bread and circuses for the masses. Intended to keep you distracted from the fact that you are losing your Country to the socialists. Just like at the Roman Coliseum, you are watching the gladiators, the bigger the better, and now with a big Black Lives Matter edge to it, do battle. Well, we can fight too, we can fight the PC idiots that have now infiltrated the NFL, and other sports venues, ruining it for everyone. It’s time to make a stand if the ultimate goal is to not only save our Country, but to save our sports culture from the rot within.
There's too much money involved at all levels for them NOT to be rigged.
Good.
But they can't "act soon" without making their problem much worse.
The NFL owners are accidental royalty. They have billions of dollars they haven't earned and don't deserve. Their "fans" are consuming a product (televised football games) which has only a casual relationship to the underlying game, which because of zoom lenses and instant replay makes thuggery the main attraction.
The thug class hates America, in which, by the way, the NFL owner class is not far behind.
Any organized ownership action runs the risk of exposing the truth about the players, and making those undeserved billions (a lot of which are taxpayer dollars, one way or another) go "poof". Their best bet is to hunker down, hide behind "free speech" and their love of "the Constitution", and hope it blows over.
Which it won't.
I haven't watched a down this year and don't plan to.
You beat me to it.
Good. Worship the Creator and feed on His Word on Sunday. Much better for your spirit.
You’ll know panic has set in when the NFL inks a deal with Amazon Prime to stream all games.
