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.

Sad,,, NOT
Oppression is throughout the world, but its less active here in the US. I don’t care what they do, as long as its not violent. I see their disrespect for the ones that fought to keep this countries freedoms, and one day they may see what they have because of a few that fought for them. Yet when they back groups like Black Panthers,BLM,CAIR,Brotherhood of Muslims,Nazism, or KKK, that stand for violence, hatred, killing, crime, and rioting, you are not an american citizen to me any longer.
Most cops are just doing their jobs and making a living i respect that. I believe in an orderly system. The problem is if law is the rule of the land why do we have a presidential candidate that john gotti couldn’t hold a light to? Why are politicians and the elite put above average citizens ? Its not about a cop doing his job its about the system is broken and their caught in the middle. Then it doesn’t help to be scared and kill any clearly unarmed person for breaking a law.
Keep kneeling and sitting, you spoiled brats. Your NFL ratings are going to plummet and your overpaid game playing days are numbered. We need our country but we don’t need to watch you show off every Sunday.
Quick chart here. We’ve got to realize and change the way we look at things for a better future as a country
To say that America is the only country that has prejudices and –isms issues is being not only stupid,but ignorant. Check,your WORLD HISTORY people, because such things have been everywhere people have inhabited,since time.
And the 4 week they will fall again because I’m not watching it and I’m not playing any NFL apparel I’m boycotting the NFL please support our country and for all who gave there live so these prima donnas can play football and get paid for it.
NO more NFL
How sad. Over just honoring our national Anthem? I’ll bet those guys wouldn’t ask for directions, either! Just sayin’ LOL! 🙂
