The Dixie Chicks could have told them the likely outcome.
Spitting in the faces of your viewers tends to cause them to turn your stupid show off.
That’s a real surprise to the brains in NYC. Who voted in de Blasio.
Now I rarely watch sports on my Big-Screen TV. I watch games on my laptop, especially the Sunday and Monday night games. And usually, I’ll just have the sound on and click on the game when something interesting happens.
Disrespect the nation you are supposed to be the National Football League of and suffer the consequences.
The National Felons League can die for all I care.
Surprised?
Pretty basic economics at work. Spit in the faces of your consumers and they’ll stop buying your product.
Surprises them? They don’t have a clue, do they.
Social justice warriors are a big turn off.
Requires subscription. No thanks.
They shouldn’t be surprised that football fans are patriotic for goodness sake.
USMNT friendly vs. Cuba expected to be played as scheduled despite Hurricane Matthew
If anti-American protests continue, the only viewers NFL will have by mid-season will be degenerate gamblers.
And yet, the model of success is/and always has been focus on the game, make it less gay, and promote patriotism...problem solved.
It is the biggest no brainer.
But, some people believe you when you tell them not to pee on the electric fence, others need to figure it for themselves.
ESPN is the Huffington Post of the sports world. They and Disney deserve to go bankrupt
Consider too the NFL Network replays that condense down the game to its essentials. They are cagey enough not to preannounce the games getting this treatment so you take your chances the game you want will be selected.
That said, this year I’ve watched none at all. If Colin was a patriot, perhaps the colonials would use less be ammo.
Let me say it so there’s no doubt:
I am specifically not watching them because Kaepernick is acting like a douche and a lot of his fellow players are as well. That’s not something I want to spend my time watching.
The NFL is reaping what Kaepernick and others have sown. And by not standing up for their country against the phony outrage of the multi-million dollar football players, the fans know who is more important to the owners and coaches in the NFL. Haven’t watched an NFL game yet. And I am sickened that college, high school and yes, even grade school sports players, are emulating their plastic, pampered sports heroes.
They don't want it to be something they can do something about, because then they'll have to do something. The problem with that is that you lose markets a lot faster than you build them.
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to recognize that the watershed event is the election. There are four weeks now until that event, after which they'll have six weeks before the playoffs to react and to re-establish the market if they can. That isn't much time to sway public opinion, less to change public behavior, even less to recover the losses. This is starting to look like a tough year for the owners. I wonder...gosh, I wonder, what could it possibly be?
The pussification(PC) of the game and then black power politicization does not help you staying connected to your once viewers!
I’m boycotting the NFL this year because the Cowboys weren’t allowed to pay homage to our fallen law enforcement officers.
It’s just the other side of the same coin.
