Hmmm, I wonder what the reason might be. Maybe CNN should investigate.

The comments to the article on THR tell the reason why.

The NFL could fix the decline in professional football's popularity.

They won't - but they could.

Nice news. I read a piece from a liberal schmuck who said the numbers are down because people are angry at the league’s boycott of kaeperknick. I liked that position. The more they keep fooling themselves with kids like this the more the thugs keep rolling down hill.

I quit watching when the Broncos took a knee to become the donkeys. I have not watched a MFL game since.

It’s a good start, but there are still too many fans willing to enable the SJW thugs.

I cite the following factors:

1. National Anthem protests. That turned off a lot of viewers, given that the fan base of the NFL is heavily conservative. It didn't help that sports commentators supported the players, which turned off even more fans.
2. Questionable officiating. Referees are making a lot of controversial calls that at times cost teams a close game and also resulted in WAY too much second-guessing by everyone else.
3. Too many high-profile injuries. The injuries to exciting players like Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson and Carson Wentz disappointed a lot of fans.
4. Many high-profile teams doing poorly. Historically good teams of recent decades like the Denver Broncos and New York Giants played very poorly this season, and popular teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders disappointed after having good seasons last year.

In short, the NFL had a convergence of bad things happen all at once. And this could end up affecting season ticket and stadium suite renewals in spring 2018.
