Monday Night Football’s opening weekend double-header continued the BLMFL’s “get woke, go broke” sprint for the bottom in the television ratings. After the Sunday Night Football marquis matchup between the LA Rams and the TV magnet Dallas Cowboys tanked 16.1% below the ratings for the 2019 SNF opener, the MNF double headers performed even worse.
After collapsing by about 18% during the 2016/2017 seasons following the advent of Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem kneeling antics, the league had regained about half of that loss over the past two seasons. The dismal performance of this weekend’s opening games shows that all of the genuflecting the league is doing towards the openly-Marxist terrorist group BLM has put it back on its downward track.
From a story at Sportsnaut.com:
Two Former Army Officers Telegraph the Democrat Plan for Post-Election Chaos VDO.AI According to ShowBuzz Daily, the doubleader on Monday night represented a major downtick in viewership from the same time slots a season ago.
Steelers at Giants: This game drew 10.8 million viewers on ESPN, down 21% from the early-game opener during Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season Titans at Broncos: Drew 7.7 million viewers, down a whopping 38% from the late game last year. These are just some startling numbers right here. They are also a continuation of a trend around the NFL world thus far on the young season.
This comes after the “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Rams in Los Angeles saw a drop of 16.1% from last season’s opener. America’s Team being unable to draw 15 million viewers during a global pandemic in which people are at home more often than in the past can’t be seen as great news for the NFL.
The “Monday Night Football” doubleheader is also interesting in that it included one of the two teams in the nation’s largest media market (New York Giants) opening things up against another big media market team in that of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of people.
That is all.

But that would explain why the seats are baron.
For this, I will adopt the McDonald’s ad line: I’m loving it!
No letting up. Put the screws to these babies.
I agree with you, unfortunately fans will be back after this dies down. I would be very happy to be wrong. Legalized gambling and the NFL (and all professional sports) getting a cut of it will be a new revenue stream.
For the NFL to lose viewership at a time when people’s entertainment options are limited due to the WuFlu says a lot.
Also note that MLB viewership is UP year-on-year.

It’s like I’ve said before: There is a segment of people out there who just want to be entertained. To them, the BLM/Antifa message is tuned out so they can ‘enjoy’ their game. It doesn’t register with them.
Every player on a team can spit on the Flag, call the fans a bunch of racists, and support an organization that calls for its members to steal everything those fans worked for, then possibly kill them...and as long as the fans get to sit back with a six-pack and a few friends on a Sunday to watch a game, they simply do not care.
To them, their football game is more important than the survival of their country. THESE are the fools who can be persuaded to vote for Biden.
I had the server at my watering hole change the channel to WWE rasslin’ instead of the thugball game.
I read that they started counting bars and restaurant numbers in viewership this year and they are still down... last year it was just traceable individual tvs.
They should just put “He Hate Me” on their jerseys because that’s where they’re headed.
While driving around on Sunday, I saw a ton of White “men” in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s wearing a shirt with a twenty-something Black male’s name on their back.
Beta cuck soy boy bitches all...
Kind of like CNN in all of the airports.
I remember that dude.
What about ratings for the Sunday Afternoon games?
No Fans Left
No Funds Left
You would think that the bean counters in the league would get a clue, but I guess not.
A theory:
They figure the losses are temporary as a business investment. The investment will help determine who does and doesn’t care about Communism. With today’s invasive technologies it will be easy to establish the database and then they (or mire likely a more powerful ally) will somehow wipe out all who aren’t woke. Then they will have a 100 pct corner on the market.
