Breitbart ^ | September 14 2020 | DYLAN GWINN

The Sunday Night Football clash between the Rams and the Cowboys was supposed to halt the ratings crash the NFL has experienced so far in the 2020 season.

Spoiler alert, it most certainly did not halt the ratings crash.

According to DEADLINE Hollywood, ratings for NBC’s only weekly NFL game, were down a shocking 28%.

Down only 30%, I guess there was some pent up demand that watched. It will soon be down 50%, half the audience has been chased away.

I’m guessing there are some consolidated game views on youtube that are being counted to reduce the 70% down to 30%

Do fans not want to be lectured about Black Lives Matter and all the social justice stuff????

With everything that has happened in the last few months, I’ve heard some people say they like some semblance of getting back to normal, which includes sports. Yet big numbers of NFL fans are not watching; not craving that normality with their favorite sport? What the heck?

I wonder what the explanations for decline in viewership will be? We aren’t officially allowed to say that people are tuning out because of all the social justice warrior stuff. So I wonder what will be said “officially”.

I deliberately and studiously avoided watching or participating in their disgraceful display of disrespect for the american people.

Last year I pretty much just watched YT highlights.

I’m not even doing that anymore, don’t even check scores now.

As former season ticket holders, this has been the most enjoyable season of not watching the NFL yet!

They expect the resistance. They think it will go away and they can just wait it out.

I hope they are wrong.

Wish it was more, but 30% is a start.

I grew up with Sports but gave it up a few years back.

My life has now changed and no matter what, it’ll never include watching a bunch of idiots chasing a ball around a field.

Worse yet for these Sport Leagues, younger people don’t care for Sports. They play video games.

Anything but acknowledging the truth. Their spin doctors are probably working overtime to fabricate excuses for the drop in viewership.

Anyone know if sports bars and restaurants are counted in the ratings?

If so, these numbers are likely far worse.

Its really a big waste of time. There are much more productive, enjoyable and rewarding things to do with your precious free time than watch a bunch of immature, over-paid, anti-American ingrates.

Money talks, BS walks. I don’t think that the owners and the players have a clue about what is happening to them. They think that they will become folk heroes in the Woke world and will be praised for their behavior, so there is no downside from their perspective. They are about to find out that that thundering sound is the fan base walking away.

Stadiums are already empty or with limited in stadium fans, so those revenues are gone. The networks will not continue to pay at high ratings level when the low ratings become the norm. The advertisers will start to bail right away, so the networks will take a bath until they can renegoitiate the TV contract.

I am a diehard Chiefs fan, so I watched most of the Thursday game, muting all of the ads, but I skipped the weekend games and will not watch tonight’s game. The top teams like the Chiefs will make it through this, but the weak teams are in trouble, and the league is blowing this one.
