For sure. This won’t bring new fans into the game. It’s not like people that might change their buying habits to help a Chik Filet or Target. No one’s going to tune in that wasn’t a fan before, even if so, it wouldn’t last.

That nfl ship has sailed. The only consequence will be the loss of fans, many of them permanently

I watched a few minutes to see the train wreck and switched off.

I’ve had season tickets to the local NFL team since 1987. I used to be a rabid fan of every game, but in recent years only watched games I attended and the playoffs. I asked my agent for a refund yesterday. Predictably, they declined. I wished them luck without me. I called the local Methodist college and ordered tickets to their football games for next season. I do like the game, but prefer mine without politics. I’m not a Methodist, but so far, this school has kept it’s bearings and kept the SJW camels nose out of their tent.

This was the viewer ratings, not a poll.

Here are all the ratings:

I calculate a 5% decline total from Week 2 to 3. Not counting Thurs Night Football, which was pre-Trump speech. Please check my math!

Easy to explain.

It’s like when people drive by a terrible accident...They all have to slow, stop and look at the destruction and carnage.

I can tell you exactly how this will turn out and I'm taking bets.

The NFL is going to lose hundreds thousands of paying customers with their dive into politics.

The NFL started a fight they won’t be able to finish and in fact, they’ll get KO’d but good here. Watch for them to make it much worse for themselves before it’s all done and said.

Honestly, I think it’s becoming clear even to them that they jumped the shark here.

The Stealers are now saying they stayed off the field out of respect, because they didn’t want to take sides.

A caller to the Limbaugh show pointed out that if you don’t want to take sides, you do the same thing you always have.

Rush said he thought that was a great point, and I agree.

Point is, they’re squirming already.

I thing it’s going to quickly turn extremely negative for them.

I think they’ll be changing their tune claiming victory shortly.

When people are burning their season tickets half-way through the season, you’ve got a real problem.

Season ticket holders don’t grow on trees.

Absolutely...

Leftists are one clueless bunch of MFs.

They have no fundamental grasp of this nation and what makes it work, why we love it.

Lots of those folks that accounted for the high ratings likely changed the channel in disgust after Jerry Jones cucked out and took a knee with his team.

The NFL is unAmerican trash. They should leave the country.

“Ratings are UP!” They’re breaking out THE BIG LIE, it’s all they’ve got. Brought to you by the same people who claimed Hillary was killing it and on her way to a big win.
