Who believes this?These are probably the same polls that assured us in Oct. 2016 that Hillary Clinton would be the sure winner in the presidential election.

Im one of them. Unlike some lying, hypocrite Freepers who claim to boycott (post that they dont watch games then find them on Impy’s or Bender’s NFL thread bragging they saw the game).

With ratings only down around 10% this seems like a whole bunch of people lying. Not sure if they’re lying about having been fans or lying about not watching, but they lying about something.

If you are dumb enough to waste $3000 on season tickets for that anti American crap then you probably went to the games to justify your stupidity but next year , you are out. You will see massive discounting by owners to try to get seats sold at some price. Letters will soon fly offering 50% discounts if you but two years etc. We are not going back. The NFL accommodated racists anti american “sons of bitches” and it has ruined them. I call for a full out steroid investigation into pro football. We want to know if that is a problem but we all know the answer.

Why would pro-Kap and pro-kneelers fans boycott the games? Doesn't make sense. If anything, they are more likely to watch than boycott.

I am calling BS on this one.

Meadow muffins.

Trump was a candidate when this disrespectful behaviour began.

Poor Yahoo, can’t protect their customers data, nor get stories right.

Sad.

First off, I still like pro football but do not care for what this league is doing. I only watch my team but haven’t bought any NFL merchandise, try not to buy from their sponsors, and haven’t bought any tickets to any games even though I have had some opportunities to do so.

If the NFL doesn’t straighten their act up, I would gladly move on to another pro league if the opportunity arises. With the NFL turning off their fans with this anti-American garbage, they are opening up those opportunities for another pro league.

This is an observation that this league has done much damage to their fanbase from what I’ve observed with the KC Chiefs. Down the stretch the Chiefs were in the drivers seat for the AFC West title and a playoff spot. I noticed tickets to the last couple of home games were very cheap and then noticed there was a lot of empty seats for those games. That’s not normal for the Chief’s fanbase when they were fighting for a playoff spot.

When they earned a home playoff game, I couldn’t believe how cheap the tickets were. That’s not normal either for the Chief’s fanbase but they were able to get the stadium mostly full but they had to lower ticket prices to get the demand. After seeing all this at the end of the year, I do believe the NFL leadership has done a lot of damage to their league.

I think this is quite on the high side judging by my own experience at my club. I was part of a group that regularly watched the games on Sunday afternoon. I completely stopped but I don't think any of the others have stopped at all. (There were usually between five and 15 watching, so not everyone was as regular a watcher as I. I still sometimes go on Sunday afternoon, just not for football, and the TV crowd looks pretty much the same to me.)

I’m one. And I’ll never start watching again. Not even the superbowl.

Traitors!

Well this is interesting. All season they have been telling I s viewership is down 10% but now they say 33%. The 33% is supposed to be half anti- kaeperknicking. That says 16% is disgust with kaeperknicking. Nice.

I quit the NFL the 2nd week of the season after some idiot on the Redskins defense went off about Trump in an on-field, post-game interview (whatshisname- makes tons of money and I don’t give a damn).

Since, I have had no idea how bad the Deadskins were this year, and don’t care to know.

The poll does not even offer the most obvious answer as one of its choices. Most who boycott are not doing so “to support Donald Trump.” They boycott because they find the kneeling disrespectful to our country/flag/military. They may AGREE with what Trump said, but their objection to the kneelers predates his comments. The 46% who refuse to watch the NFL “for another reason” likely takes in some of this group. Intentionally flawed, therefore fake, poll.
