But muh boycott lol

[Tsudo]

Not on twatter so I can't see the responses but the second question sums things up:

Serious question. How much are NFL ratings down compared to overall TV viewership. Just isolating the NFL numbers does not give an accurate picture.

Either way, don't really care -- NFL is still around, so is Chick Fila.

[NYPat]

I want networks to focus on kneelers and explain to the American public why they're doing it.

...while explaining it doesn't disrespect our country.

[nutsy54]

A. What were the viewership stats of prior equivalent games? (You cited a statistic with no context).
B. Why is it good that so many support a corporation that lauds anti-American values?
C. Who cares?

[cheerupemokid]

Ratings are down over last year: https://nypost.com/2018/01/15/miracl...f-ratings/amp/

Don't care about A or C.

But I would love to hear your thoughts on B. What do you think are "anti-American" values?

Yes, you're a Leftist - you love propaganda. We know. I'll do you one better, maybe we blast it over every town from loud speakers at the designated work break for each district.

[WestAfrica]

Lol’d at anti-American values.

[Gayle1]

You're talking about it. His goal is accomplished and you will continue to fuel his flame.

Did you watch the Vikings win?.. or were you following your lord Trump's directive to stop watching the NFL?

[AlwaysFocus]

Are they still kneeling for the us anthem?

[MericaThatsWhy]

Not surprised....it's the playoffs

- Most people I know will only watch one game on Sunday now. Where as before then would watch 3 games every sunday

- I think it has to do with people doing other chit with their Sundays now a days. The good that social media has brought to us, no one wants to be seen as a loser sitting on their couch from 1:00pm until 11:00pm watching games

- Last year the weather was amazing well into the fall season. People spending less time inside (expect the basement dweller miscers)


Lots of variables op...but weather, good games and it's the playoffs are the big ones

[blckndyllw]

Lmao at copers in here, stay mad NFL is alive and well cause nobody cares your boycotts as usual

[Cleveland33]

For all the talk about corporations and the 1% not paying enough in taxes / getting a tax break they don't deserve a few weeks ago - there sure is a lot of love for the NFL.

Talk about a tax break - billion dollar entity getting tax payers to fund their stadiums but still get to run the business aspect of the stadium.

Discrediting a doctor a few years ago for researching why so many current and former players were having major issues.

Domestic abusers, drunk drivers, even killers are no big deal, but get caught smoking weed too many times...

I was done last year when the league told the Cowboys they couldn't wear a sticker to memorialize the cops that were slain in the Dallas riot.

I used to watch football almost all day except morning games if I was hung over.

The feminist week stuff started turning me off (when they would wear pink every 2nd week)

But I held on

The kneeling of the us anthem was enough though, I watch football for football, not politics. Fuk that sport.

LMAO, you did not stop watching football because of the kneeling of the anthem.

- Only people that did/are doing that are the idiot sheep following the rest of the herd

- location Canada: lol you're not a real football fan, GTFOH

Ive been watching for over 18 years though, and ya I bailed when they started kneeling.

Just cuz Canada has chit tier cfl doesn't mean Canadians dont watch NFL

brah I have friends who's blood were boiling when they started taking the knee. And I stand for the anthem even at home when I watch (do you? I'm going to go with NOT) it' how I was raised

- Yet my friends and I still watch at least one game on Sunday. We aren't butt hurt sheep like the rest of you




Let me help you understand something:

- If people want to kneel then they can. If they want to stand, they can during the anthem

- If antifa wants to march in the streets and protest they can. If the Alt-right want to march in the street, they can


This is America, where you have the freedom and God given right to do so. Freedom of speech is given to everyone, not just the politically correct movement or their opposite. We are to be tolerant to each others right of freedom of speech, even if we don't personally agree or even hate what someone is protesting about

And only when violence sneaks in are we to shut chit down.


Now go back to watching the NFL (one of the greatest sports ever created). It's the playoffs, these games are legit GOAT so far. Stop being some butt hurt sheep that doesn't even know why your really upset about this whole thing

No.

Kneeling for the the US national anthem for a chit tier stance that kaepernick started is fukking dumb. Respect the US armed forces. Some things should remain sacred.

Eat chit NFL.

[JD805]

It's pretty pathetic that some people want to see the NFL die over some kneeling LOL.

[MericaThatsWhy]

No.

Unlike you, I'm not some poocey being PC on the misc

- You didn't answer the question...do you stand for the anthem at home? I'll answer it for you, you don't! (You prob didn't even know people actually did it)


But do whatever the fawk you want.

I'm going to keep watching, keep on getting together with friends and family and having a great time watching America's Sport, The NFL

[x-trainer ben]

Those are solid viewer numbers, Verizon fios and the dilly dilly Budweiser guys must be super happy with their investment. Fantastic ending also. The NFL just keeps on keeping on.

There were reports a couple months ago based on data that the fans who claimed they were "boycotting" were full of chit, guess we know it's true now

'Reports'

[dhawkeye1980]

Because the Vikings have never kneeled

[jafomofo]

The overrun of the NFL matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints powered Fox’s Sunday lineup to substantial gains, according to Nielsen overnight data. The final portion of the game drew a 10.5 rating and 34.5 million viewers to Fox

fake news


also:
Continuing a season-long trend, the ratings sank for the divisional round games.
