An NFL official told the teams not to worry over the leagues crashing TV ratings, and said that the election and COVID are the reasons for lower viewership.
Sports Business Journal recently reported that NFL media operations man, Brian Rolapp, sent a memo to all the teams to allay their fears over the consistently bad ratings. Rolapp reasoned that both presidential politics and coronavirus hysteria was naturally diverting the attention of fans and resulting in fewer viewers.
The 2020 presidential election and other national news events are driving substantial consumption of cable news, taking meaningful share of audience from all other programming, reporter John Ourand claimed that Rolapp told the teams. Historically, NFL viewership has declined in each of the past six presidential elections.

So NFL viewership has declined because everyone is watching CNN and MSNBC election news instead? So Don Lemon is beating the NFL?
Im supposed to believe that?
Speaking of . . .
So should the ownerships
Keep Kneeling, you ungrateful Pieces of Sh*t. Hope you go broke for being woke. See ya behind the counter at McD’s.
Of course, he's not going to mention the stupid Social Justice crap that is pushed all the time. NFL Commissioner Goodell "jumped the shark" by supporting this nonsense. He should have stopped it immediately after Kap - The Kneeler." Stupid is as stupid does.
Sounds like a book or movie...
And that’s your right to do so.
What were the ratings before those jerks took the knee?
covid-19 should increase viewership because people are spending more time at home. So that’s a lie.
Just like Rush always says. Every thing the LEFT touches, it destroys.
Yeah, don’t worry...we’re selling the NFL to the Red Chinese. You’ll love Red China. Even though they hate blacks.
FU NFL
I have not been a NBA, or MLB fan since the 90’s so “giving them up” was easy. And I only watch one NFL game a week for my favorite team. And if they get down early, and they often do, I have no problem turning them off.
Not watching any other NFL game is easy. Too much options streaming.

Dont worry about a thing. Your old section 8 apt is still there.
They are drinking the BLM/anditfa/LIEberal Democrat Koolaid, and it is poisonous.
NFL is committing suicide, and they don’t know it.
It's way past time to get a new commissioner!
Let’s blame the election.
Please.
Take a knee before man and you cannot stand before God.
That’s right, just keep doing what you are doing NFL.
I think you get a pass. Go ahead, watch a few games.
I’m sure the NFL will make up the team loses by cutting the NFL staff salaries.
Does any player make 44 million or more?
