HOME SCORES SCHEDULE STANDINGS FANTASY LOG IN Too many bad teams, awful quarterback play making NFL games hard to watch Kaepernick and protests aren't the problem, bad football is the reason ratings, attendance are down Jason La Canfora mugshot by Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 11h ago • 9 min read
People are staying away from the NFL. Viewership is down and empty seats are up compared to the record ratings of a few years ago. It's hard to argue that fact. Any camera angle that panned across the upper deck in any number of stadiums Sundays confirmed that fact. The issues with ratings are well-documented. It's become convenient to blame that phenomenon, at least in part, on the ongoing issues of player demonstrations but now, nearly a season-and-a-half since Colin Kaepernick first took a knee, I'm not buying it. There's some protesting going on, without a doubt, but it's fans protesting the product being put on the football field, I believe, moreso than any pronounced reaction to a handful of players displaying their Constitutional rights before kick-off. This downturn in the number of eyeballs watching closely every Sunday and Monday and Thursday is much more directly related, in my opinion, to the fact that the number of quarterbacks you would pay big bucks to see in a game with no rooting interest seems to be shrinking by the week.

They found the river in Egypt, 'denial'.
So if this logic wins out, ratings should go up if Kapernick wins a NFL job!...sorry, not wins, is given said job he deserves.
Enjoy, it's Monday and a good laugh helps one's health.
I saw replays of the Panthers game. I swear Newton was throwing to the Bears DB on purpose!
We need to stop lying to the NFL. If we are staying away in droves because of bad football and tell them it’s because of social justice warriors like Colin (2-14 loser) K, how will they know what to fix? The NFL decline is our fault.
Fortunately, this journalist has the answer. All the League needs is pink socks, plus a more vocal protest against injustice that harms thugs, and they will bring us right back.
“Watch me substitute the reality I want for the reality I reject.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Yeah, you guys go with that one. That’ll work.

Fake News
See B S is lying. President Trump says boycott the NFL. Real Americans are boycotting because of these unpatriotic useful idiots who insult my country
Screw the N F L and the Community Organizer who tried for 8 years to incite race riots
And screw See B S that is lying about the reason Americans are staying away.
Has nothing to do with these anti-American protests. Nope.
Try again.
“Too many bad teams, awful quarterback play”
This is obviously fake news, as our 1-6 Giants can attest...
(The fact is, this makes other people 6-1 against them)
I personally hope they kick the Patriots’ asses again in the coming Super Bowl; they went to the big game with more losses than this!
Nfl caves to this punk they deserve to be ignored.
He’s right about the quality of play, the product is crap. Seriously, every other play is some west coast offense throw it 2 yards wide and let the receiver do the rest. The protests are a factor, but not everything.
The games are unbelievably boring, too long, too many penalties, too many rules, too many rule changes, too expensive to attend, a ripoff all around.
The real test is the super bowl. Will people continue the stupid tradition just to overindulge, or will the find something better to do?
Cam Newton is an awful QB but the Charlotte media continues to ignore the truth. Which is what the liberal media does everywhere.
Lookee, Partisan Media Shill Jason La Canfora -- whose livelihood depends on sports franchises like the NFL -- is pointing out something that is true EVERY year, and claiming THAT is the reason the stands are empty. What a transparent lie. Thanks CincyRichieRich.
Yep. Bad play is to blame. People watching election reruns. Hurricanes. Toenail fungus.
Because KneeGro Assholetes have nothing to do with NFL anger and apathy.
Those who keep defending the players for exercising their Constitutional right never mention that the fans are also exercising their Constitutional right by telling the players to f#$% off.

Cam Newton with his ‘Superman’ act. He is no Superman. Plus he insisted on #1 on his jersey. He can’t back it up. He has the mind of a 9 year old boy. I dislike football, the dancing, the taunting - unmanly and not part of my culture.
