We had an idiot host on our local sports radio trying to dismiss this poll result, so I turned him off, too!
#BoycottNFL
I think your action reveals a part of this "boycott" that goes beyond the antics of the Kaepernicks. Generally, TV sports has been a place you could go to escape all the political noise which permeates all aspects of the media, not only in "news" broadcasts but in the entertainment divisions too. But now ESPN has become blatantly political as has the print sports media and now the antics of Kaepernick and his clones is just the last straw. People are tuning out - they are sick, tired and fed up with all the political whining and bitching and grandstanding by the most privileges people on earth. Don't be surprised to see this decline bleed into all sports programming.
