POLL: Why is NFL viewership so low?
Competition from the hurricanes and the presidential race
Fans' disgust over anti-American protests
A combination of factors
I'm not sure
That's my husband holding the ball. Need I say more?
Soccer: floppers and fairies.
If you time the actual play time in a 3 hour game - from snap of the ball to the whistle that ends the play - the players play approximately 15 minutes.
I’ll stick with hockey. 60 minutes (or more) of real hard competition.
Come on guys, let’s get the Anti-American reason to win.
Leftism destroys everything it touches...even the NFL.
Hockey is more exciting to watch than football. Try hockey. Multiple anthems, all respected.
Who cares?
Any sport is dull when you’re not vested in the teams. Try watching a baseball or football game when you have no knowledge of the teams playing.
I got into the Premier League a few years ago, and started to learn about the teams and their history. I picked a team, and I can tell you, when you’re vested in a team, and they play at a high level, the games are just as exciting as any other sport.
It doesn't have to win if 20+% believe the anti-American lectures are causing a problem with NFL viewership.
Not long ago whole groups of us would get all excited for what became a real social event watching six-eight hours of NFL football. The game was great, the announcers were great, and the commercials were few and also entertaining.
The food, the drink, rubbing elbows with those you were too busy to see/talk to during the week...
It started with free agency, then the commercials, then pink October, then blatant and obvious racism by the networks and teams.
One by one everyone eventually lost interest and found other, more rewarding things to do after Church on Sunday.
The NFL will find out that, like any other business, once you lose a customer it is very, very hard to get them back.
Right now college football has gotten my interest.
Multiple anthems? Only if a Canadian team is visiting. :)
Backlash.
Viewers have been subjected to decadent and criminal behavior from gazillion dollar players for years, and now racist players disrespecting the fans when they indulge their personal politics against the American flag and National Anthem, over their sport and the fans.
Add to that the helicopter parent known as the NFL excusing it all and shoving transgender bathrooms into the negotiations for game venues.
Normal Americans with kids can barely afford to go to games and paying for the Stalinist BS is deemed a bridge too far.
Besides, the games are so commercialized they last too damn long.
Right now I am looking forward to October as a Red Soxs fan. Plus after that to University of Connecticut womens basketball after that.
Just hope you won’t be disappointed when the Indians win the World Series.
Whoo Hoo! Great shot! Football rocks, forever.
Watching “floppers and fairies” play to a thrilling 0-0 tie!
:)
Right now it is college football, rooting for UConn football, win, lose, or draw, until UConn b-ball starts, both men and women.
What’s an NFL?
