NFL Favorability Gets Nearly Cut In Half After Anthem Protests

A new poll shows that the favorability rating of the NFL among Donald Trump supporters was nearly cut in half after more than 200 players kneeled during the national anthem last week.

Morning Consult conducted the survey, and the results are a very bad sign for the NFL.

They released the following data in a press release to The Daily Caller:

NFL’s Brand Favorability Drops To Lowest Point Since Morning Consult Started Tracking: The NFL’s net favorability has dropped from 30% on September 21 to 17% on September 28.

On September 21, 25% of Trump supporters said they had a very favorable view of the NFL and 11% had a very unfavorable view.

I’m surprised it’s as high as it is.

Some are doubling down but other teams, like the Broncos, have vowed to stand for the anthem. Even with that, I wont watch until every player stands and the NFL apologizes.

I won't watch an NFL game again until every player who refused to stand for the national anthem at any time since Kaepernick's initial temper tantrum is out of the NFL.

And even then I probably won't watch again, anyway.

The NFL has become a front for Leftist causes.

NFL has ceased being football and is now the recruitment arm for BLM/Antifa. Getting all players in lockstep thru intimidation with the 70%+ player advantage. They now are trying to get fans on the BLM bandwagon with their call to link arms like the gays marching in a pride parade. NFL as a true sports organization is dead and now devolves to yet another racial grievance group like naacp, farakhan, black pampers etc. Just (for the time being) richer.

You’re absolutely correct; and it didn’t begin with Kaepernick. No one seems to be discussing the absolute lunacy of a bunch of millionaires protesting injustice and inequality in America. Where else, for God’s sake, could someone without a real education and with no skills beyond football make the kind of money that NFL players make? Injustice and inequality my OD-green ass!

There should be a class action against the NFL for violating their own rules, written code of conduct that the fans count on when attending or watching an NFL game.
The NFL is cheating the fans of the experience they paid for in attending or watching games. I bet if they has 50 million plaintiff’s in this class action lawsuit they might break the NFL.

Where are the good Class Action attorneys.
Where are the ANTI-TRUST attorneys?
