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.

P**s on the NFL and the high paid thugs that work for the team owners. The owners could stop this b******t immediately if they wanted to. They will when the boycott starts affecting their bottom line!
Many Americans are sympathetic to their cause, but feel a sports venue and the National Anthem attract is inappropriate. They should find a positive way off the sports field to get their message, and more importantly, public support for their cause.
See the truth is we don ‘t need you if the NFL.
Still BOYCOTTING here and I can honestly don’t miss it at all.
Boycott strong
Joseph Ironwood and who would all these unarmed people be? This is simple, you get approached by a police officer. Do what they tell you.
The world is an unforgiving concept, WE HAVE NOWHERE TO GO, we must be forgiving, and understanding, and never Kneel to injustice or “Pre…justice”…think about it….
Getting what they “earned”.
Good. I hope that the ticket and merchandise sales start going down soon and starts affecting their pockets. I hope the SB has the lowest rating ever. Stand fast all season long everyone who disagrees with the disrespect of our national flag. They can start using some of their millions, to fix the problems they think exist. They can exercise their freedom of speech that doesn’t disrespect out nation that’s given them the chance to play a game for millions in other ways. Our country hasn’t been perfect but it worked hard to change for the better. They could look for something better in other countries but they will never find it.
Good
