BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!
College football is enough for our family. We are now NEVER-NFL’ers!
Wow. I remember hearing years ago, that the Redskins had tens of thousands of people on a waiting list for season tickets.
Well, times have changed.
When I was a football fan, I was not all the interested in Monday Night or Thursday Night Football if “my team” was not involved. When I was younger I would watch those games, but gradually lost interest.
I believe these low ratings speak loud and clear about the midterms.
The NFL is like one of my girlfriends long ago....I thought I’d miss them *much* more than I actually did.
I love seeing that.
Oh no big deal. The bended knee isn’t hurting them.
LMAO
Last year had ratings lower than the year before. Now this year is lower than last year.
I suspect they’re 20-25% off over the two years.
If I were an owner, I’d be rethinking my position right now.
Ratings down 15-17% just against last year is terrible. If it was down last year by 10%, we can translate that out to a 25-27% drop over two years.
What’s more, we’re not talking about only older folks. There’s a big dent in the 18- group also.
The NFL is grinding up it’s seed corn.
You lose the youth, and you’ve got nobody watching in five to ten years.
Can’t wait until next year when they again address only a 10% drop over last year, as if that isn’t so bad.
At that point they will have lost at least one third of their viewers.
Look at your photo there. That would scare the hell out of my if I had a franchise.
More men watch sports than women. More men are conservative than women. NFL owners don’t know their own customers.
I just check scores and read the stories.
I will say, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the feel-good story of the NFL season so far. You should check him out in his post-game press conference.
The NFL is dead to me. If they cannot require respect be given to the anthem and the country, they obviously don’t care if patriots watch their games, buy their stuff and/or buy their advertisers stuff.
North Texas is my favorite local football team. They destroyed Arkansas over the weekend.
>>>(All five primetime games declined)<<<
AMEN!
This is now my third year on no NFL.
I don’t even miss it anymore.
Great news! The right doesn’t take enough credit for successful boycotts. Be proud boys & girls, we’ve damaged Hollywood, the cinema, magazines, newspapers and television!
Glad to hear about the declines, but this article only includes one game from Week 2, the Thursday night game. The other four prime time games are from Week 1: Thursday night, Sunday night, and two Monday night games the same night.
Hoping for more declines for Week 2 when the full report is out.
I haven’t watched a game this year.
I tried to keep up my boycott this week but had to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick destroy the Eagles. It was glorious and I hope the Bucs bench the rapist thug Jameis Winston.
I watched a few games a couple of decades ago because my husband was at the time seriously into football in a financial way (not as a fan, I mean he had no “team loyalty” or anything like that. Sometimes he didn’t even watch, he just checked the scores periodically). Even then, I was like “When are they going to play?”, and it’s my understanding that it’s even worse now, more standing around than actual action. That’s even apart from all the other reasons to boycott now. It’s my understanding that watching curling or chess would be more exciting.
