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.

What I’d like to know is, does a sports bar with 15 TVs count as 15 viewers, even if there’s only three people there watching the games?
That sort of thing could skew the ratings.
And much like voting for a democrat, I can’t imagine how anyone could be watching the BLMFL these days.
I believe his real name was/is Rod Smart, and listening to him talk, he seemed to be anything but. Smart, that is.
