So there you have it - ratings down due to bad weather, i.e. climate change.

Could it not be more easily explained by an outbreak of homophobia driven by Donald Trump and his devilish, deplorable minions?

I doubt they’re actually praying, as Christianity (e.g., Tim Tebow) is controversial and offensive.

Ratings for Week 3 will be disrupted by Rosh Hashanah - you make book on it.

Yes, NFL ratings are down because of bad weather - just like College Football ratings - oh wait.....

Maybe it is just weather that effects Sunday, Thursday and Monday?

Now there’s a graduate thesis someone needs to pursue. How climate change hurt the NFL? Make that into a book and Algore will write the forward for it!

Time for a player salary cut to make up for the losses.

To be sure, saturation TV coverage of Hurricane Irma sapped some eyeballs from football during the first week of play

Yup, that's it. I couldn't peel myself away from 24 hour coverage of a storm.

Plus, the Lancaster County folk festival, that probably drew a lot of potential viewers too.

Last year, it was the elections. This year so far, it’s been the hurricanes. But there won’t be any excuses for the rest of the season.

Bad weather...what else could it possibly be?

Reminds me of moslem terrorists. “No known motive...a ‘lone wolf’,

I call it Dixie Chickening.
The ungreatful NFL and its 85 percent black minions can kiss my ass.
Think I’ll bypass this season.

Gee, I wonder if the Cowboys are having ratings problems.

They have no CLUE?? Really??? Hard to believe that somebody, somewhere in that organization doesn’t get it. Sucky player attitude. Offensive to their public. Refuse to honor the flag, our country? The very country, may I say, that makes their $1M dollar meaningless jobs pay them so much for so little.

I dunno. They should ask Hillary.

The most successful sports franchise operation in history has managed to screw the pooch. Good riddance!

"So there you have it - ratings down due to bad weather, i.e. climate change."

They said it was because of the political campaign last year. They will jump on the most farfetched totally unrelated excuses rather than even consider the most obvious cause.

Wow, I figured you cherry picked your excerpt and the article would dig deeply in the real reasons for the decline. But nope...the author only quoted the UBS dope who blamed hurricanes. Maybe the paper ran out of column inches for this story.

The NFL is praying for a ratings turnaround

But I thought faith and religion were BAD, especially for Sports Teams.
