So, how's that anthem protest working out for you dumb jocks?

The NFL had a disastrous weekend when it came to ratings. Numbers have been down all season and it was more of the same for the wild-card games. The biggest surprise was that the best game (Panthers-Falcons) had the biggest decrease year over year. Yes, markets were a big factor, but that was a competitive and entertaining game. Here's the breakdown:
Titans-Chiefs (14.7) was down 11 percent versus last year's Raiders-Texans game.
Falcons-Rams (14.9) was down 10 percent versus last year's Lions-Seahawks game.
Bills-Jaguars (17.2) was down 10 percent versus last year's Dolphins-Steelers game.
Panthers-Saints (20.4) was down 21 percent versus last year's Giants-Packers game.

I’ll be interested to see what advertisers are willing to pay for their Super Bowl ads this year.
The ratings won’t be so bad when we get to the Divisional rounds. But it may be 8-10% lower than last year anyway due to the extenuating circumstances that hurt this season in the first place.
The AFC games will be duds.
All four matchups were stinkers.
Maybe the clever commercials will pull the ratings back up... :/
McDonald’s is honest work. Poor excuse for food, yes, but honest work nonetheless.
The old joke — “I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out.”
The new joke — “I tuned in to the annual show with all the great commercials, but they kept interrupting the commercials with a football game.”
Really Jimmy? “The Best Game Panthers and Falcons. The Falcons are real studs, They beat the Rams then apparently according to little Jimmy flew back to the East Coast and beat the Panthers the same day. I wonder what the Saints had to say about that?
“...Poor excuse for food...”
I’ve always thought their fries were very good.
Ain’t That A Shame
You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain’t that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain’t that a shame?
You’re the one to blame
BOYCOTT THE SUPER BOWL!!!!™
You are the only one that cares that you don’t watch football. You are the only one affected by you not watching football. I for one will not let a few retarded liberals ruin something I enjoy just cause they try and infect thier politics into it. If I did that for everything liberals try and ruin I could never leave the house. As far as I am concerned the left dislikes the NFL because it is a great American tradition which they hate and I will not help them take it apart because a few lefty idiots tried to use the reach and the scope of the NFL as thier giant soapbox.
Additionally a slight decline in NFL TV ratings has less to do with your silly counter protest but more to do with the fact that millions no longer pay for cable known as cord cutters.
According to a new industry report from eMarketer, there will be 22.2 million cord cutters ages 18 and older this year – a figure that’s up 33.2 percent over 2016.
Must've been the matchups! /S
Continue the boycott folks! We're doin' good!
This is the first time in many years that I’m looking forward to baseball more than football.
Frankly, I think you're misinformed!
BOYCOTT THE NFL PLAYOFFS!!!!™...FOREVER!!!!
I would have loved to see the look on that pr!¢¥ Goodell’s face when Trump strode out to his “mixed reaction” last night in Atlanta.
Nice job ruining a premier American professional sport a-hole.
a lot of poor officiating last week,,
FA Cup Soccer was better imho
It was great seeing Nottingham Forest knock off Arsenal.....somewhere Cloughie was smiling.
