An interesting result, as it raises a question that isn’t often asked about declining NFL ratings. How many people are boycotting because they *agree* with the player protests?

To think, 33 percent of NFL fans missed out on one of the worst quarterbacked playoff games of all time this past Saturday in Jacksonville. If there’s any doubt that Kaepernick’s exile from the league is due partly, or even mostly, to politics rather than ability, go watch game film of Jags/Bills and ask if either team wouldn’t have benefited from having him under center instead of their respective scrub QBs.

Yep LOL. I’m thinking in an unapproved manner.......
People are just looking for any reason, to explain the drop.in NFL viewing. Or any reason beyond the elephant in the room on this issue.
Noticed, rotten tomato critics rating is 90%...while the rotten tomato audience rating is about 49%....seemingly the people are rejecting what Hollywood and the critics are selling.
Although possibly I missed it, or ignored it. Because I kinda liked the movie.
What a great business plan, offending your audience to the point 1/3rd of them can’t stand you anymore, and stop using your free (to them) product.
NFL, ESPN, Cable companies affected by their actions, enjoy...
Retailers, soft drink, beer, chip and dip companies, enjoy...
Bars, restaurants, enjoy...
Dead to me.
I have not watched once and will not be watching the SuperBowl...
The Star Wars producers need to realize, it wasn’t PC1 Kanobiette.
The Super what?
By the way, I was an AVID NFL fan for over 50 years. Saw every Super Bowl except one (when I was in Vietnam). Loved the 49ers all those years, and to be honest, I haven't missed it at all. Won't be watching in 2018 unless there are some dramatic changes, which I doubt Goddell and the NFL are willing to make.
#MeToo
I still watched “My Boyz” play.
But the rest of the games. Meh!
How ‘Bout ‘Em Cowboys!
But but but the liberal sports media told us the drop off was 10%. They wouldn’t lie would they?
We’ll know the real impact when it comes time to renew season tickets in the off-season.
Ratings are only down 10%, so that survey is BS.
Last Jedi has hauled in 1.2 billion dollars so far. I want my franchise destroyed like that.
Look at the drop off. They can make 8 with the current band of idiots running the franchise and few will go next time.
“no hitting or intensity”
gotta disagree there, plenty of intensity when they are delivering a hit to the opponent’s head. I think it’s just disgusting n’ball, and that any player doing such must wear a leather helmet for the rest of the game...or the year.
I think a big factor in the concussions is that as the helmets get better in defending the head, more and more they are used as offensive weapons.
Nerd movies always drop like a stone, nerds show up the first week.
I have liberal relatives, and they rarely watched or watch NFL football, before or after the protests.
