The Sunday Night Football clash between the Rams and the Cowboys was supposed to halt the ratings crash the NFL has experienced so far in the 2020 season.
Instead, it was a complete disaster -- nearly equaling the devastating ratings crash the NBA playoffs suffered after embracing the Marxist BLM movement.
According to DEADLINE Hollywood, ratings for NBC’s only weekly NFL game, were down a shocking 28%.
Putting on the two teams with big national followings, SNF snared a 4.7 in early ratings among adults 18-49 and 14.81 million viewers last night.
In numbers certain to change, that’s a fall of 28% in the ratings and a hard decline of 23% in sets of eyeballs from what the September 8, 2019 official start of SNF snagged in the early numbers of its opening game of last season. While the early Nielsen data lacks West Coast numbers, which is kind of important when you have a team from the mega-market of LA playing, this result is going to be hard pill for the NFL and NBC to swallow.
These results are disastrous for the NFL. Not just because the numbers themselves are bad, but because of the teams that played on Sunday Night Football. The Dallas Cowboys have possibly the largest national fan following in the country, and the Los Angeles Rams play in the second largest media market in the country.
In addition, both teams have star talent and are very competitive with playoff aspirations for this season. And L.A. was premiering a new, super high-tech stadium. By all measures, the game should have performed extremely well in the ratings.

When you consider that many people have been STARVING for some real, live sports - not just highlights of the last 50 years, this tells you that the BLM/WOKE theme is hurting the NFL much worse than the ratings for yesterday would suggest.
I will continue to post this until I see it reported in the NY Times, WaPo, and on NBC, and CNN

That nitwit commissioner of theirs is the source of all this crap............
Finally some good news about the NFL.
Disappointing that so many tuned in.
Watch high school football.
Good.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.
It always helps when they back a movement and that group stands outside a hospital chanting we hope they die to 2 cops shot.
A sure ratings boost.
I bet they blame the decline (especially in the West Coast) due to the displacement because of the wildfires.
When Kapernick rolled the commissioner, the die was cast.
Quote on news site:
“”The #NFL pandering to #BLM is the “New Coke” of modern economics.””
lol...how true
They apparently refuse to get the message. The kneeling for the anthem hurt them, and they continued to dance around it, as if they could somehow will the fans into accepting it.
And here we are, big corporations and politicians are lecturing and shaming the average middle class white guy. The reality is, big corporations and politicians are the only ones that can impact the experiences in a black person’s life in a meaningful way.
They blame me for their inaction and shortcomings. They have no idea how angry I am.
What's shocking is that the ratings were that high.
Amen! The whole bunch of them are pandering worthless crybabies.
WE ARE NOT A RACIST COUNTRY AND I’M SICK OF THESE BUFFOONS RUINING A GAIME WE ONCE ENJOYED! WE’RE DONE WATCHING THEM AND HOPE THEIR OWNERS AND PLAYERS HAVE TO TAKE A HUGE PAYCUT AND THAT ROGER GODDELL GETS FIRED.

BLM are exhibiting pure racism along with the NFL and they are pushing Hate America First.....turn them off and shun the racist BLM & NFL.
I’m proud to say that I did my part, little as it may be, to contribute to this disaster.
My husband was dying to tune in to watch the cowboys, but he just couldn’t do it after the horrendous shooting of the 2,CA police!! He is finished with those thugs!! FINISHED!! Screw them!!
Wait until the players find out they will get paid half of what they were getting.
It’s coming.
Here is why I say that. The ball players and their paymasters are weak people - they have proven that already. The ball players will cave again if their billions are threatened.
Keep the pressure on. Let's not tell the ball players until later that we will not return to watching their little games regardless.
