NFL Ratings Crash in Season Opener, Total Audience Numbers Lowest Since 2009

[Leveraction44]

"NFL ratings have collapsed over the last two years. The league saw an approximate ten percent decline in 2017, and a seven percent decline in 2016. Perhaps not coincidentally, those two years were dominated by the anthem protests begun by former 49er Colin Kaepernick in the preseason of 2016."

Significant but I really don't understand how anyone can support the NFL with their eyes or dollars.

Keep politics out of sports and get rid of those that speak against American values.

Ratings are down because....... ***fans*** are finally realizing what a time suck the nfl is? Tired of the kneeling/ race card bs? Sick of spending more time watching replays, commercials, players standing around than actual game time with ball in motion? Fans finally quit eating Doritos and drinking cheap beer watching a bunch of dirtbags on tv to spend quality time doing fun things with family and friends?

Wake Up Americans, nfl sucks, and stop wearing jerseys with dudes names on the back!
