Roger Goodell is destroying the NFL with his wussifying rule changes and his turning the League into a Leftist organization.
A good many Americans are tired of watching spoiled, rich athletes insult the flag and our country at the same time. This PC, victimization crap has gone on long enough, and people are fed up with it. You can’t watch movies and now sports without someone politicizing it!
It is 100% on Goodells head. He didn’t reign it in. He encourages the PC NFL crap fest. He needs to go as do some of the players. I do not watch football anymore. Take that.
Yes, Goodell is a large part of the decline, with his capricious disciplinary actions and general piggish actions when it comes to the NFL “brand”. That said, I’d be willing to bet that some of the decline in ratings has something to do with the “compelling” games that they are foisting on national TV.
For example, tonight’s Tennessee-Jacksonville game was a real nail biter for maybe the first 5 minutes. Plus, I doubt either team’s fan base extends more than about 50 miles outside their home field.
And, in two weeks, we get the “epic” battle between the Cleveland Neverweres and the Baltimore Nevermores. Going into this weekend, the teams are a combined 3-11. I’m sure this will draw big crowds... NOT!
The sjw-nfl has nowhere to hide now.
I wonder if the NBA/NHL ratings are rising along with post-season MLB.
May the nfl die of cancer in it’s descending colin krapperdick.
NFL is harming itself to be sure but to be totally fair with a historic moment of the Cubs finally having a chance to win the World Series in over a hundred years....that storyline will have many watching even if they are not Cubs fans
not watching either so there...
Anybody know how much Krapernick’s little temper tantrum is costing the NFL?
I have been disgusted with NFL since Limbaugh was denied part ownership of the team. There was no reason for that whatsoever, except he is a conservative.
This is just icing on that nasty cake.
(If this posts twice, blame telkomsel.)
Baseball will always be America’s Game.
After 7 games now, I finally realized what is sapping the fun out of football for me. It's the referees. Not a single game goes by now without a huge, consequential issue happening with the officiating. I'm sick of it. It looks--like so much looks these days--like things are rigged sometimes.
OVER-PAID, UNDISCIPLINED, attention-seeking PLAYERS, too many commercials, idiot, gossipping, announcers -— many with Left-wing agendas that insult patriotic audiences -— and over-priced home game tickets.
The ratings are down because WE don’t like being forced to watch scumbags who make millions for playing a game disrespect our country and our way of life. The average NFL fan correlates very closely to the average Trump supporter, and WE are voting with our remotes.
The lying scum in the media don’t want to admit this but to us their “scientific” explanation is just another pack of lies.
Baseball rating up 30% this year over last.
NFL down 24% and dropping.
Basketball. Don’t know but I can guess the rating are down and keep doing so until someone dunks these millionaire protesters.
What do you think Vince Lombardi would do to a 2nd string quarterback refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance?
My take on the NFL decline is the amount of advertising during a game. It’s hard to get into a game with all the non-football time.
I also object to the London games. I have subscribed to the Sunday Ticket on Direct off and on for several years. This year will be the last as the dilution of Sunday afternoon games has lowered the value. Sunday night games, Monday night games, and now Thursday Night games that don’t end much before midnight take school age fans out of the market.
PC NFL, PC crap programming, and all the Leftist codswallop they put on the air.
Prominent Americans in TV management and programming may pay lip service to PC, but privately everyone knows it’s all horse sh*t - except for the drips in TV management and programming, who don’t seem to know a d*mned thing.
As I posted in another thread....
baseball players aren’t viewed as a bunch of anti American a$$holes.
Anything but Kaepernick ...
The NFL is running a patriotic ad now tieing the legacy of the US Army with NFL teams. Cynical bastards can ESAD.
