NFL ratings among Republican voters have been down through the first three games of the 2020 season, according to a report from Comscore ratings firm, ABC News reported.
The company categorized ratings by political affiliation, discovering that ratings in Republican households dropped 11, 17 and 8 percent across the first three games respectively, according to ABC News.
"These significant viewership changes reinforce the importance of having advanced audience information because media buyers and sellers have to adapt quickly when cultural forces reshape consumer behavior," Comscore Chief Revenue Officer Carol Hinnant said in a news release.
NFL viewership has also seen a decrease among independent voters. Ratings have dropped an average of 5 percent in independent households, and Democratic households have been the only voting group to keep steady ratings, ABC News reported.
The shift in ratings correlates with data from a CBS News/YouGov poll, which showed that 77 percent of Republicans view kneeling during the national anthem at an NFL game as unacceptable. Only 12 percent of Democrats shared the same view, ABC News reported.
President Trump expressed his views on kneeling in August, noting that he would prefer NFL games not to go on if players decline to stand for the anthem.
“If they don’t stand for the flag and stand strong, I'd be very happy if they didn’t open. That being said, I'd love to see them open,” he said.
Gee I wonder why? /sarc
How much did they pay some genius to figure this out?
National Football Leftists
Republican viewership should be reduced to less than zero.
I’m done with them for good
well duh
What about Parole Agents and Probation Officers??
hell with them...
another little secret is the younger generations are NOT into this worship of professional athletes...
The National Felons League can shove it up their Obamaholes.
And do it again.
And again.
Repeat infinitum.
3 years and no NFL/NBA/MLB on our tvs.
$crew these felons former athletes making millions while they diss my country, my parents/grandparent/ancestors back to the Revoluntary war, my whiteness, my African blood and my native American blood, my religion, my flag, our military and our police...because that is what they are doing...
To hell with them...
May they go broke and live like paupers the rest of their miserable life.
I’m in the Tampa area.
Anybody notice on these stupid MBL playoffs.
In Tampa we can watch off the air the Atlanta game — Fox I think.
WE CANNOT WATCH OUR OWN Rays games. Buried on ESPN i think, not off the air channel.
I have gave up the NBA decades ago.
I can also live without football and nascar with a blink. Baseball is boring.
But I will shed tear if I have give up on the NHL too.
Fewer? Why not all?
Hou 7 TB 2 bot of the 8th......likely game 7
I'd call this news damned disappointing!
Exactly why I feel that most Republicans, Conservatives, & RINOs will smile and giggle as they queue up to board the box cars...
Definitely will not be able to muster 80 Patriots at Lexington & Concord Bridge this time...
C'mon people, you're not trying hard enough!
