Too many thugs wanting to cause trouble outside of their arena.
The kneeling is a big factor of course but most people are also growing tired of the Patriots, they barely squeaked by in most of their big games and only after being aided by the officials, basically gifting them their Superbowl appearance. No surprise to see a substantial drop in ratings.
No football game for me.
Hard to care about it at this point.
The Super Bowl event has been a national event for years that even non fans are at the very least are aware of and who may watch and even attend Super Bowl parties though they haven’t watched any game at all during the regular season. A typical conversational question asked to nearly everyone is “what team are you rooting for?” There is the expectation that even non fans have one. If 16% of those who self identify as hardcore nfl fans won’t be watching, there should be a considerable percentage of the remaining 84% who are disgusted and won’t be watching.
I’m rooting for low ratings all around!
I am kind of surprised about some of the people I know who are skipping the game this year, some of them not even into politics.
I held out until Goodell doubled down on his social program nonsense. This isn’t sports, it’s a mass sashay.
I’ve had NFL Sunday Ticket for a least fifteen years, and called DirecTV to cancel automatic re-enrollment. That’s hundreds of bucks the NFL won’t be getting from me annually.
What’s a “Super Bowl”?
I have no idea what a Super Bowl is, then again I’m a Lions fan.
Count me in too!
