Numbers = number of govt employees and agencies., that’s who’s watching the Nebuchadnezzar brain to animals now.
Mockery only, no value no payment.

This thread has 79 replies as I write this... I hope they all said, “Who cares?”

“even with the Texans taking an early lead in last night’s game, once halftime came and Kansas City led 17-7, the game lacked drama. By the time the scoreboard read 31-7, a fourth-quarter rally by the Texans was a noble but wasted effort. Add to that the fact that KC and Houston are not big national draws and this opening stumble may end up being a footnote once the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Rams face off this weekend on the Sunday Night Football opener.”

The ratings should go back up once the peaceful protesters stop. D’oh.

Ratings won’t go back up, except the bribed ones.

Clearly, they need a stronger anti-racism message.


The thing is, BLM and the kneeling AREN’T anti-racism messages. They are fully and vigorously racist and anti-American on TOP of BLMs Marxism.

UPDATE, 12:25 PM: The game ended over 12 hours ago and now the final numbers are in from last night’s NFL season opener.

The primetime match-up between the easily victorious Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans snared 19.3 million viewers.

That’s a fumble of 12.3% from the Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears opening game of the 2019-2020 season on September 5. With racial justice center stage at the beginning of the game, the contest between the mid-market reigning Super Bowl champions and the Lone Star state team is up just a touch over the 9-year low of the weather delayed 2018 season opener low in total sets of eyeballs.

When data from NBC Sports Digital and NFL Digital platforms are added, the 8:28 – 11:05 PM ET game had Total Audience Delivery of 20.3 million. That’s an 11% drop from last year’s TAD, even with the digital numbers up 55% over 2019 to a non-Super Bowl high. Last night’s game peaked at 22 million viewers early in the 9:15 – 9:30 PM ET period.

An easy win for NBC on Thursday night, the kickoff game is the most watched sporting event since KC beat the 49ers on February 2 in Super Bowl LIV. [...]

At one point, COVID had people yearning for live sports. Just looking for a few hour escape from all of the crap they’re being bombarded with.

Then the NFL decided to be a part of the crap.

THAT’S why their ratings are down. They could have been huge.

I am disappointed to hear so many people turned out.

Not me. I'm glad they were there to boo. I wish there were 80,000 people booing the hell out of them. I wish it were loud enough to drown out any "woke" commentators.

Taxpayer funded bond issues have kept that stadium going. It belongs to the taxpayers. I'm glad they went to THEIR house and booed those idiots.

I have been thinking the same for a very long time. Swear to God, many male sport super fans are suffering from some form of same-sex attraction or are just outright homosexuals.

Maybe some just like the game they probably played as a kid or in school but weren't good enough to be at the college or professional level and respect those who were.

I listen to sports radio probably more than I should. They dance around the issue as to why the ratings are down.

There was at the beginning, then it stoped.
