Fox Television's broadcast of Super Bowl LI on Sunday night drew a 48.8 overnight rating, according to Nielsen data released by the network, lower than the previous two Super Bowls.

(Snip)

Last year's Super Bowl drew a 49.0 overnight rating, while the Patriots' previous title game appearance in 2015 helped Comcast Corp's NBC television draw a 49.7 rating, the highest overnight rating on record.

boycott all companies that aired anti-Trump ads in the Super Bowl.

Has anyone compiled a list of the companies? I've seen the list of the companies that signed a petition but not the anti-Trump ads.

I wouldn’t watch the Satan worshipping Lady Gag Gag if you paid me. I’m not crazy about Belicheat either, but I hate the commie NFL even more. That they could even imagine giving a national stage to an avowed follower of Satan was enough for me to recognize the hand writing on the wall. They have been weighted and found wanting — love of gays, satanic performers, and all things lib is more than enough for me.

The best thing I’ve heard out of Super Bowl LI is Roger Goodell getting booed.

I noticed a radical change in strategy by the Falcons at the beginning f the second half. I told my husband (who didn’t grow up with American football) ‘they are protecting their lead. This usually doesn’t end well. They are running more and not taking as many chances’. I was glad the Pats won, but I won’t be watching next year if the league decides that the protests are more important than the love of our country.

Saw this -

Super Bowl Draws Smallest Audience in Nine Years

...the worst since 2009 when the Pittsburgh Steelers-Arizona Cardinals matchup brought in "only" 98.7 million viewers.

See? Boycotts work!

Spent a lovely day with my family, not a one of us wished to watch the Super Bowl.

Yes, I know....now!!

I was searching to see if anyone had put up this year’s Super Bowl viewership info - and only saw “Feb. 6th” (which was yesterday) - went back after I’d written that comment and noticed it was 2017, not 2018.

LOL.

Too bad FR doesn’t have an edit function.
