FS1’s Cowherd: Trump, Hillary to Blame for Low NFL Ratings — Not National Anthem Protests

Tuesday, host of Fox Sports 1’s “The Herd,” Colin Cowherd, reasoned that the NFL ratings are down 10 percent so far this season because of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, rather than because of pre-game national anthem protests that were started by the 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick.

“Sometimes I look at the American media and I just — I don’t understand how they can’t see the obvious stuff,” Cowherd said. “So NFL ratings are down like 10 percent. I can just see them. They’re all arguing about what it is. ‘Oh, it’s got to be the Kaepernick thing.’ It’s not the Kaepernick thing. It’s the Trump/Hillary thing.

That’s why the Olympics were off 15 percent. It’s why ESPN’s most popular shows ‘PTI’ and ‘Around the Horn’ are off 15 percent. It’s why sports programming, especially afternoon, late afternoon and night is off 15 percent. It’s not about Kaepernick, it’s because Trump and Hillary, CNN, up. Fox News, up. NBC, way, way up. Listen, presidential cycles every four years steals some audience.”

What a fool

Whistling past the gallows in hand cuffs.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Just another idiot named Colin.

[txrefugee]

What is this mind-reader going to blame the sagging NFL ratings on after Nov. 8…the up-coming Christmas season? It gets easier and easier to break the NFL habit. We are enjoying it.

Living up to his nickname “Cowturd”.

The PC Crowd has no idea how outnumbered they are.

I have read SI for 50 years. I can't figure out the magazine told wive not to renew.
ESPN when they said Bruce Jenner was athlete not Lauren Hill who fought brain cancer to reach her goal of playing college basketball. Lauren Hill was a woman, a basketball player, a hero/ Bruce had his nails done and put on a dress. I kissed ESPN good bye. Tired of PC and politics, just play the game.

He showed me what he was about with his anti-Christian Tim Tebow rants when Tebow was in the NFL. As they say “you can look it up”. His ESPN culture followed him to Fox,nuts to him,let’s boycott his show.Wait a minute,i already do.

I borrowed this magnificent picture from a post in a thread by zakeet, so official ping to him

Now let me tell you something Mr. Cowherd, The Coward.

I see this picture of this man, this man who is a hero, this man who lost his legs fighting for the ideals of our country, standing on his stumps in his wheel chair respecting America as only he can, and I have to take time out from looking at this image that makes me cry to look at to consider the STINKING BS coming out of disgusting fools like yourself and other disgusting fools in the NFL!?

I DON'T THINK SO, MR. COWHERD, THE COWARD!

I don't think I am going to take any time to consider you and the likes of you at all.

I am going to show you and your ilk just how easily I can live without you.

I don't need you for anything.

Rot.

Ratings will climb with the Cleveland game on October 9th

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

The libtards will grasp at anything - anything at all - to deflect truth.

Typical Coward logic, I heard the colin say one day, 'some of you didn't come to work today, but I'm here'

That day was Yom Kippur

FC, and I don't mean football club

nfl (not for long) ratings are down because the commissioner? What's his name? Oh, Goodall? Is currently presiding over the demise of the nfl. he spends millions investigating deflated balls (it's money laundering not lawyers fees) and doesn't release info from other games? The fix was in...

BTW I'm a New York Giant fan, and they're the only team that has kept Tom Brady from being undefeated in super bowls.

FC

Keep poking Americans and lets find out

A lot of people were getting fed up with the NFL bull sh*t so this is becoming a last straw

[lodi90]

ESPN is toxic. I don’t even check scores there anymore.

HOORAY chris37

[jimmyray]

Brilliant picture, thanks for sharing!

Kapernik (sic) will be broke in a few short years, making his wealth will be as impoverished as his character. Loser.

[MuttTheHoople]

Cowturd also said that Dak Prescott could never be an NFL quarterback.

[Billthedrill]

Mr. Cowherd ought to be asking that question of fans, not speculating on it in the media. Because it turns out that it really doesn’t matter what he “thinks”.
