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.

I agree with Chad Wardlaw’s comment 100 % ! I believe that most of the American people are sick and tired of these extremely over paid professional athletes disrespecting our Country and it’s flag ! It Just plain wrong ! And the American People need to Boycott every team and every league that allows this kind of DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR FROM THEIR EMPLOYEES !
Boycott all games
these people are so oppressed that they make millions to entertain the american people… boycotting the nfl is a great move…if the team owner does not make money…the players cannot play and make no money…..hope some teams in the nfl file bankruptcy..so any money guaranteed to players , whether they play or not….,,,,is not there…..let them go to bk to work….smh
