The NFL is approaching the playoffs looking for a ratings turnaround after a year of record-low television numbers. Outcry over players protesting by taking a knee during the national anthem isnt helping, but its only one of several reasons fans are turning away from professional football, media analysts say.

A so called professor in Sports Communications has no clue why Americans would be disgusted???
Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
So he’s saying if something isn’t televised that it did not really occur?
“More cowbell.”
looking for a ratings turnaround after a year of record-low television numbers.
Enough already, just show the American People how the players really feel, give each on of them an American Flag and march them on to the field during the Anthem, and Light them on Fire!!!
Reduce the number and length of video reviews.
Game plan? Stop the asenine disrespecting America, its heritage and its people. Try that for a start a$$holes.

They are still rationalizing around the obvious.
Fire Goddell and every protesting player. No one will miss them once they are all gone. The rankings are fake anyway.
Which is proof in my mind that he has a PhD in media. After all, that's the foundation of the corrupt MSM, if we don't show it, it didn't happen or it's irrelevant for you!
Are there still players kneeling for the anthem? I have not watched NFL all year and was wondering if player protests are still happening.
Too late idjits. It is a boring game and you were disloyal to your fans so live in your nests.
Simple , Fire the Protesters
I refuse to believe that.
Put the NFL on consignment in a fire sale shop and convert stadium usage to Women’s Pro Beach Volleyball, Field Hockey and Cheer Leader Competitions.
Last I heard, yes there was still a a few kneelers.
Seems 80% of the people I know say they’re not watching the NFL. These are people that used to watch at least some. And they will tell you that they’re not missing it.
I know, just rehire Roger Goodell and give him a raise with a long term contract.
>>Id be stunned if any single factor contributed more than 2 percent to the ratings decline, said Andrew Billings, director of the University of Alabamas Sports Communication program.<<
Prepare your beber to be stuned. It is ALL about the protests. There have been bad games and player injuries forever and never has the nfl seen such a precipitous drop.
When all other variables are essentially unchanged any smart analyst will look for the new variables to explains changes.
If they want fans then offer a bull-fight.
Goodell’s bulls__t vs the bulls!
See if the bulls fall for it.
