The NFL is not just losing white viewers. The NFL isn’t just losing black viewers. No, the NFL is hemorrhaging viewers of all races and ages, and they’re doing so at a frightening pace. With the NFL’s Week 4 in the rear-view mirror, a review of TV ratings through the league’s first month show that the NFL has lost millions of viewers year-over-year, a decline that has picked up speed so far this year. As Awful Announcing recently put it, “It seems everyone is mad at the NFL.”
Overall, viewership is down seven percent over 2016, which is bad enough for the league. However, this year’s slippage is not the first. Indeed, 2016 — the year of the first national anthem protests — saw a nine percent decline over 2015.

People have better things to do.
Good
Sounds series.
NFL GTH!
say it, it Rhymes! This is our new “football chant!”
smile smile smile
Die, NFL. Die.
Die, NBA, Die.
They don’t want to be this nation’s football league.
Let them find another one.
Is MLB still OK? I never really followed that closely so I don’t know if it is infected.
Kaepernick is gonna have a hard time showing his face in a lotta places.
Some folks not be happy about losing this kind of cash because of him.
Outstanding...Nobody to blame but themselves.
I don’t see much of it. Supposedly at least one group of idiots took the liberal knee.
Yeah, I’d hope baseball would have a chance. Seems like less idiots. I could be wrong.
I’m watching no games.
I’m boycotting McDonalds, PepsiCo, and VISA.
The NFL would have to do something significant and AUTHENTIC to regain my participation... These corporations would only have to terminate their NFL partnerships to get me back.
I know there are other boycott targets, but these are the three I use regularly.
The NFL is suffering - and they DESERVE it.
KEEP THE PRESSURE ON. CALL THE SPONSORS!
One of the things that amazes me is that the fans that are deserting the NFL are the ones who can afford a Mercedes,a Caribbean vacation and one of those $500/month diabetes medications.
I would expect Antifa types to replace the lost viewership. You mean there are not enough of them to make up for the loss?
Tis a shame...
Like watch the MLB Playoffs.
Baseball has a lot of foreign players who are very happy to be here. So I suspect you won’t be seeing too many shenanigans from baseball players.
Plus they would have to face pitchers with 100 MPH+ fastballs, if you catch my drift.
Man, you must really want the crime rate to soar. Imagine all those thugs being released into society with no jobs.
They lost me, after 45 years. Discovered there’s a lot of stuff I can get done on a Sunday afternoon.
Including some badly needed range time!
