For the third week in a row, ratings for the NFL have fallen due to anti-American protests during the playing of the national anthem. While ESPN praises Kaepernick and his teammates for taking a knee and disrespecting America both on and off the field, the NFL is losing quite a bit of viewers. Why, you might be wondering. Well, if you take into consideration that unlike the MLB and the NHL, the NFL is made up of mostly American players, as are their viewers.
While this week’s drop happened to coincide with the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, ratings have been decreasing steadily since the start of the season. According to Sports Business Daily, ratings have dropped by eighteen percent since this point last season. And this is all thanks to Kaepernick and his “protest.” Since he started this movement he probably hoped would keep him relevant, several other players across the league have joined him. It’s really rather ironic if you think about it. None of these players live in poverty, and they probably know about as little about American as a three year old child does. And their actions haven’t stopped at taking a knee.

Boycott the NFL

If you don’t respect this Country, our Flag, our Constitution, and our laws, YOU DON’T NEED TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY WITH ALL THE FREEDOMS AND MONEY YOU RECEIVE. Many of us served and gave up our freedoms to PROTECT AND SERVE OUR FLAG, CONSTITUTION AND LAWS. WE DID NOT MAKE OUR SACRIFICE SO A RICH UNWORTHY INDIVIDUAL LIKE YOU AND OTHERS COULD EXHIBIT SUCH DISREGUARD FOR OUR FLAG. You need to move to a country in the middle-east where your attitude and disrespect might be appreciated.
Really?

Stop paying the low life scum! I’ve never understood why anybody would want to watch any “professional sport”. It’s not “your team”. That player can be working for another team tomorrow. It’s not local pride like a school. It’s the WWF only it costs a 100 times more.
That’s why I haven’t followed pro sports for a very long time with the exception of auto racing.
I wont watch the sniveling millionares play games ever again
