BREAKING : NFL RATINGS DROP A WHOPPING 29%
The NFL, like the rest of the country, has turned into a low-info, whiney social justice project, where you have “activists” with ankle-deep knowledge of an issue “protesting.”
In most cases, these village idiots are looking for attention or trying to sell or brand something.
The NFL has gone from a place to escape the everyday BS to a proponent of the BS.
Instead of focusing on PLAYING THE GAME, the players have decided to use their job as a platform to protest crap they know nothing about and the fans are sick and tired of it and have tuned out in droves.
NFL ratings are down a whopping 29%.
From Fox News:
The NFL’s ratings are down 29 percent this year and many fans attribute the drop to players protesting the national anthem.
According to a Yahoo Sports and YouGov poll, 40 percent of NFL fans said they are watching less football because players are following Colin Kaepernick’s lead and taking a knee during the pre-game rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers current starting quarterback, started his demonstration against police brutality during the preseason.
America wants change.
From the top down.

Good..I am glad people are taking a stand. Shitting on the Flag is an act of betrayal towards your Country, and that includes its people..By people not watching the game, it hits them in their wallets..
We still have great football on Saturday. However, Self-important men who think being able to run and play catch gives them political chops? Not for me. Football is entertainment, like walking, fishing, reading… the list is long, and I am no longer entertained by ‘professional’ football. BYE!
Kaepernick Protest is part of the Election. This closet racist SJW keeps saying everyone is is racist but his ugly gonzo looking ass is the real racist. Probably upset because no woman wants to touch his pp even with the millions he makes. You can’t cure ugly Kaepernick. He thought he was cool growing out an afro but his face is still ugly. LOL, talent-less hack.
It getting too much like the NBA. Me first players with the game being forgotten about. No more for me. I will get my fix with Saturday amateurs. No more NBAFL for me.
The nfl made a mistake by treating the disrespect of Our Flag and National Anthem like any other PC Issue. The nfl needed to treat this like the majority of employer’s do, they don’t allow for political statements or lobbying at work or during work hours. To make matters worse they allowed for the network’s to spend airtime on this disrespect. When a fan runs across a field for attention they don’t air it, to help from encouraging others from doing the same. Yet these protestors have been given more and more air time, everytime another player joins in. For the most part the National Anthem was not given as much TV time as it has lately due to the protests. Also the nfl and their sports commentators refuse to acknowledge the rating drops are due to the protests. I for one haven’t watched an nfl game or purchased any merchandise this season, I don’t even wear any of their gear and I have a closet full. I also encourage my friends and family to boycott the nfl. I would like the nfl to acknowledge the disrespect and have their employee’s keep their political views out of the work place, like most employers do.
No games this year for me. They can make excuses but the cause is obvious. Disrespect and a corporation who dont care. Yet. Lol. They will in the end. They will care because the losses are going to be staggering!!!!! For years to come
This is why I like hockey.When this issue was brought to the attention of Team USA hockey coach John Torterella he said he would bench any player pulling this garbage.
Here is his exact quote :”Listen,” he told reporters. “We’re in a great country because we can express ourselves. And I am not against expressing yourselves. That’s what’s great about our country. We can do that. But when there are men and women that give their lives for their flag, for their anthem, have given their lives, continue to put themselves on the line with our services for our flag, for our anthem, families that have been disrupted, traumatic physical injuries, traumatic mental injuries for these people that give us the opportunity to do the things we want to do, there’s no chance an anthem and a flag should come into any type of situation where you’re trying to make a point.
It is probably the most disrespectful thing you can do as a U.S. citizen is to bring that in. Because that’s our symbol. All for (expressing) yourself. That’s what’s so great. Everybody does. But no chance when it comes to the flag and the anthem. No chance.”
I personally am sick to death of the racial divide in this country due to our community agitator in chief.
Also sick to death of these overpaid, whiny athletes who just because they make the money they make and have the forum they do protesting and complaining about things they know nothing about with the media touting everything they say like they are beacons of wisdom.
Read a non progressive history book for goodness sakes.
Colin Kaepernick has no clue about oppression has he wears his Che and Castro t-shirts.
It especially makes me sick as a parent of two son’s serving in the military.What a spit in the face of their service.
I am not watching the NFL this year due to Kap and his fellow disrespectful players and the owners and commissioner who are doing nothing about it.
While they want to blame it on several things OTHER than the National Anthem protests, such as ‘too many penalties’, too many commercials, etc. I wouldn’t know about any of those things because I don’t watch any of the penalties or commercials, or the games. The sole reason is ‘politics’ and using the game for platforms for protest. That’s not why we did watch NFL. But it is why I don’t now watch NFL. When the league adopts a rule that prohibits political protests, I ‘might’ start to watch again. There is no chance unless they forbid politics.
Good! Over-paid, pampered little pusseys taking a knee. Lol. Those racist little. Bitches aren’t worth a thimbleful of blood spilled by our brave soldiers for these F-ing creeps to take a knee. When many of our soldiers come home without knees or limbs and highly troubled over the horrors they’ve. Faced while the BUSHES, Obamas, and Clintons sit on their phoney asses waging war!!!
I am the mother of a 100% disabled Iraq veteran who is now– on top of everything else– fighting cancer!!
Damn right I’m for Trump. Clinton said the VA has wonderful care– she waited a year after diagnosis for surgery. 6 months for chemo. And when she went in to try and get some answers, the punk bitch laughed at her. When my daughter became upset and raised her voice, the punk bitch called The police and said she made a terrorist threat. Thank God witnesses we’re able to refute that lie. THE POLICE OFFICER LEANED IN TO MY DAUGHTER AND SAID: “YOU CAN FIX THIS MESS, VOTE TRUMP.” HE’S RIGHT!
