FULL TITLE: NFL’s Nightmare Becomes Reality As ‘Monday Night Football’ Posts Worst Week 2 Ratings EVER Recorded

The NFL is not going to fold. They are way too big to be derailed by a controversy like this but there’s no doubt they have lost fans which means they have lost money that they didn’t need to lose.

From Breitbart:

The ratings for Week Two’s Monday Night Football game between the Chicago Bears and the Seattle Seahawks, crashed to the lowest numbers ever recorded for a Week Two Monday night game.

That’s bad no matter how you slice it.

The nfl stands for disrespecting this Country, disrespecting the fans, disrespecting the police and first responders, disrespecting America. The he** with them. The owners are LIB saps, also. There are much better ways to spend your time and money than to watch these un-American louts.

FWIW, I can’tell recall the last time I saw an NFL team jersey or a flag around here, and my neck of the woods used to be lousy with them.

It seems Pete Carroll has a genetic disposition to not wanting to hire decent offensive linemen.

Agreed. I am glad that they got rid of Bennett, now they need to lose Ifedi and Fant. Sweezy and Britt seemed to be the only ones on the O-line that looked competent. Not great (except Sweezy on occasion). The D-line has some good talent, if they can stay healthy.

This is weird because, according to the far left, national “media”, people would be tuning in to the MFL just to watch the Colon’s ad about stinky basketball shoes. I wonder what happened.

It’s amazing how all this spirals down quickly. You lose viewership - less $ - teams have to cut back - less jobs and $ for players and other employees - athletes choose different sports.

Beth Mullins?!? They must wake up everyday and figure out how they can make it worse.

Didn’t Vince McMahon say he was going to start up a new league?

Regarding whether the BLM/NFL thug league will fold consider this: There probably has never been a dam that has broken without a small crack growing to huge proportions.

These fools keep laugh of smaller ratings saying they are STILL making money - hey more money than ever before - aside from that being flat out ridiculous- eventually that will cost them at tax time. Eventually some of there small market teams will go belly up.

Eventually the XFL will eat into the BLM/NFL thug league’s bottom line.

Eventually a disaster like the Browns will change their team colors to red white and blue and become the Good guys like a wrestling team.

Eventually if there is not a stop to this slide they will fail.

I suspect that ratings are like polls, and they are cooked.

The ratings are far worse than they are admitting.

Something tells me that every unwatched tv in the country that is showing sports, gets counted.

Every notice how a bar or restaurant has like 100 tv sets going, but not a single person is watching?

“Who is the female? Yikes. I cannot listen to that one.”

I recognize her voice from women’s college softball. I figured she was a famous former player. With a voice and accent like that, she surely couldn’t be a professional broadcaster. It turns out she is not a famous athlete.

They could have done a lot better without looking very far. Jessica Mendoza and Michelle Smith, who both announced the same college softball tournament, have decent announcing voices.

If the NFL doesn't grip on reality these will be known as 'the good ole days' when they were still making a profit.

Not true. GE acquired NBC back in the 80's. In 2011 they agreed to sell to Comcast. There was a period of joint ownership but Comcast has been the sole owner of NBC since sometime in 2013. GE is out of the picture.

Has Comcast stock price taken a hit yet?
