Four weeks into the current NFL season television ratings are down nearly 10% overall compared to the first four weeks of last season. Sundays games in Week 4, according to Nielsen, had the smallest audience of any season so far: an average 14.2 million viewers.
Add that ratings dip to the ongoing controversy around player protests, and you might reasonably wonder how official NFL sponsors, as well as brands that buy advertising during NFL games, feel right now about the league. The answer: Theyre nervous, says Brian Cristiano, CEO of ad agency Bold Worldwide. Everyone is looking at the numbers, theyre looking at the ratings

Remember when Dr. Raoul used to post “BIAS = EQUALS LAYOFFS?”
Good! You should be nervous you Anti-American, P*ssy-Hat wearing, Felon-Loving, WIMPY Mudderfockers! I’m NOT watching my beloved Packers come Sunday.
Screw You, NFL! SCREW YOU! Thanks SO MUCH for ruining something that was really, REALLY special in my life.
Bite me.
Uh, talk to Harvey Weinstein?
Funny.

I received a nice note back from them thanking me for letting them know my thoughts on this. They are assessing the situation right now.
Didn’t get the idea they have gotten the message yet, but they won’t ignore millions of such messages. Give it some time. I think they’ll come to their senses.

Please feel free to steal and use - wherever!
Football was an AMERICAN quasi-religion and they committed

Dont care whst they do.
Nfl is dead to me.
Isn’t it depressing that 14.2 million people still watch NFL football..?
I'm in my 2nd year of boycotting the NFL so I feel a bit morally superior :-)

LOL, come on. Tell us how you really feel about it. If you hold it inside you might get an ulcer.
I bow to my Sensei!
Socialists. Ruin. Everything. EVERYTHING!
How else are we going et the Ed exposure back? You won’t idiot cut your losses and run before it is too late.
I guess I won’t be watching your beloved Packers whip up on my beloved Cowboys either.
the NFL jumped a Great White Shark in the effort to placate uneducated street thugs they call players.
This tells me our teeth have penetrated rather deeply.
Good, hope we cut an artery.
