“People tuned in to see the freak show. It won’t last”

That and liberals who never watch football did last night trying to prop up the ratings to spite Trump. It won’t last, the liberals will be back to their normal schedule of hate mongering soon enough.

Good so tell the BLM/NFL not to worry about any silly old boycott. Nothing to see here move along folks. I guess they got the polling companies to help out with the numbers. Very easy- check just Dallas and wherever else they played and cut off the numbers after the first five minutes.

People were going to tune in to see what the cowboys would do. We got our fill and cut off the show. Done with politicizing of the NFL. Crap and what color started this shi!?

JJ and the players did not protest the anthem. Seems to me Trump is winning on that and the fans may not feel the game was disrespectful to the country.


A point missed by many on both the cowboys and cardinals.

That said if the Cowboys were somehow taken out of the NFL the league would suffer greatly re viewership.

Love em or hate em, people tune in to see them Win or Lose to their team...

Been that way for years and is not going to change. The author tried to pull a fast one re making us think something else.

Let’s not forget some of the absolutely horrific half-time shows and leftist propaganda in ads during the most recent Super Bowls. This has been coming for some time now.

How much of it was due to people tuning in to watch multi-millionaire thugs make asses of themselves on national TV?

I see this as people tuning in to see what the Cowboys would do. Now they know, and i’m betting they no longer respect the Cowboys.

Bet the BS about firing any Cowboy that doesn’t stand drove the ratings up. People wanted to support a ‘patriotic’ team. We were played.

That's what I would guess. Let's see how the ratings for all of them hold up next week -- is there any team left that didn't fold?

Cowboys won’t fare well in Texas after their stunt last night, IMO.

Tom Landry and Roger Staubach would never pull crap like last night.

ABC Good Morning America stated that last nights ratings were down 14%.

This is only the 3rd Monday night game of the year. NOt a very big sampling, IMO.

Its actually pitiful to see the trap that BLM has laid for these players...

They are caught in defending their race against their country, and some can’t figure out that the race battle is best fought outside the playing field.

Also I’ve yet to see one person say if things are so bad why weren’t they improved during the 8 years we had a president with some of your ethnic background.

Maybe he wasn’t interested in you, just using you for Party power and to destroy America

Cowboys-Cardinals got a 9.3 overnight rating for ESPN, easily the highest-rated Monday night game of the year.

Well, there have only been two other Monday night games this year. We're only 3 weeks in. And Dallas was playing - they have a strong nation-wide presence.

Short-term means nothing. Medium and long-term, there's no way this divisive behavior by the players, encouraged and nurtured by the team owners and the NFL national office, will not hurt viewership and revenue.

One game out of how many?

I’ll wait a week and we’ll see what happens.

Allahpundit is reaching deep looking for any victory and this is all he’s got?

Hah.

Not all Dallas fans. This ex Dallas fan did not have one minute of the game on. The lady and I have watched No Country for Old Men on Netflix. Proof positive that viewership was down.

I had hoped to wake Tuesday morning to read that some bit of sanity to the NFL was restored. It saddened me that wasn't so.

I clicked last night ... no game on NBC or ABC or CBS or FOX.

I am not paying for any TV so I am denied even a choice to watch.

52% no opinion. Lmao. That’s the “oh is he the Kardashians publicist? Uh no? Then, like, I’m sorry but I don’t know” crowd. Pretty big %.
