NFL TV Ratings Slide Worries Wall Street
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | September 20,2017 | Paul Bond and Georg Szala

Posted on 09/20/2017 8:40:13 AM PDT by C19fan

CBS, ESPN, Fox and NBC will generate about $2.5 billion in NFL advertising revenue this season, but a 10 percent shortfall could translate to a $200 million cut in earnings, an analyst estimates. NFL's ratings woes continued in Week 2, and Wall Street is taking notice, given there are fewer excuses for falling viewership than there were a year ago when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were distracting TV-watching Americans.

How queer, just earlier this week I saw a Yahoo headline that Big Football and Big Business didn’t care about controversies in the NFL because it’s worth $12B

Dear NFL,

If you want to improve business, stop insulting your customers, and rein-in or fire those employees who mistreat the customers

Denial, denial, denial. Spin spin spin. To the bitter end.

I wonder how this will translate to player’s salaries?

The NFL is killing itself. Answer...the players either stand & salute the flag, or they are gone. End of story!!! Don’t like America..then go play in a Canadian league.

May all of the above organizations learn that Liberalism does not pay and it harms the world.

Must be sunspots. Or the Russians. Or the hurricanes. The price of orange juice ... anything but the anti-America antics of certain overpaid babies.

Weird, you would think they would want to make sure it STAYS worth $12 Billion. Things can change real fast - anyone heard from the Dixie Chicks lately? They were worth a lot of money too.

Need a picture of Nelson from The Simpsons to go with that "HA HA!!!"

Looks like the market is more concerned by what the Fed may/may not do later and is still up a bit so far for the day....not too concerned about much of anything with the 22385 or so current position....I guess the demise of the NFL constitutes record highs as being "worrisome"....

I’d root against my home team of the Broncos but then I’d have to watch the game and I refuse.

One of the Broncos took a knee during the anthem last season.

I have completely weaned myself off of football.

This is what happens when you mix politics with sports.

People are just walking away. The LA Chargers couldn’t fill the 27,000 seat soccer stadium for their opening game Sunday. The NFL is terrified of letting 2 teams move to LA at the same time and one a real turd, the Chargers.
Enjoy the Chargers and the money leeches,the Spanos’s.

Put this right at the feet of that worthless sonovabitch, Roger Goodell. Between him and those shithead liberal owners of the NFL, they are succeeding in their planned destruction of the game of Football.

I heard a story about 8 year olds on a football team kneeling during the anthem.

That’s the kind of influence the NFL is having on kids these days.

The NFL is experiencing the same thing that whoever employed Jessie Jackson experienced when Jessie would spit in white people’s food.
