NIGHTMARE: The Ratings Are In | NFL is Doomed..
Youtube ^ | 2/11/25 | Benny Johnson

Posted on 02/13/2026 11:42:01 AM PST by EnderWiggin1970

Ran across this podcast outlining that viewership of the NFL halftime show collapsed 39% compared to last year. This from a ratings source used for advertising (and thus much more reliable as companies use this for real-$$ decisions.)

It's pretty plain that profanity laws were also violated, so we'll see if LEO will give lawlessness a pass or hold them accountable.

Viewers had a choice on which halftime show to watch.

It doesn’t even count people like me who watched the GAME in a sports bar, and ran outside to the buffet outside of screen range during halftime.

the big question is how many who tuned out bothered to tune back in when the half time fiasco was over ... the first half of the game was one great big yawner, so not too much motivation to waste time on the rest, unless one is a seahawks or patriots fan ...

Roger Goodell made the choice of halftime entertainment and there was no pushback from the owners to my knowledge. I hope that if a Republican is sworn in as President on January 20, 2029, President Trump will organize a rival football league. This league would play the sort of football played in the 1960s through the 1980s. San Antonio, Long Island, Connecticut, Columbus, Salt Lake City, Memphis, and Toronto, Canada, and Vancouver, Canada would be good starting locations. You will need a commissioner who will be Kennesaw Mountain Landis for this century and for football.

May be the year that the Super Bowl finally jumped the shark.

I heard the collapse of ratings was at 7%, not 39%.
Maybe different polls are measuring different aspects of the production.

Rosanne grabbed her crotch once and it cost her millions. Bad Bolgna there, spent the whole 15 minutes holding his junk and spouting off Latino revolutionary crap.

Roger Gid-da-hell, outa here. How we went from "America's Team", to Pan America's Marxism Tour, is beyond insulting.

The NFL has become its very own self-fulfilling Bud Light prophecy.

It makes sense. Trying to turn the Super Bowl into a global spectacle similar to the World Cup.

Some might call that a ‘plague’ of felons.
Time will tell.
Not everyone becomes a felon in the same manner.

I suspect the ultimate private equity group of team owners is going to insist on removing the political and DEI messaging consultants board the first transport making smoke and never to return. And while they are at it.....take your hanky game league with you.

And Bad Bunny has been the most streamed artist globally for the past few years. He’s especially popular in Europe and even China.

That’s what it’s all about, the NFL screwing over Americans to get the global market.

British soccer fans complain about The English Premier League for the same reason.

In 2024, NFL revenue was $23 billion and they have $110 billion in media rights contracts.

Doomed my foot! The only thing that will cause a change in NFL anti America is is for Americans to stop giving money to them. The ONLY way to bring them inline is to make a huge dent in the NFL wallet.
