Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted September 20, 2018 Yeah and this. Basically all ratings are down but nfl still dominates tv in general. The superbowl is still the most watched show of the year. The various playoff games will be among the top 10 for the year. And sunday night football is the number one overall show for the year. Thursday night football cracks the top 5 even with having some games on nfl network. Football is still king and nothing else is even close. But if they keep focking with it they will lose fans. SNFL only leads until the new season of fall shows starts.. Then Im out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted September 20, 2018 And MAGA I don't put any more stock into this than I do the fake outrage over Nike.. I understand many want to believe this is the case, but the fact of the matter - football and MNF were in trouble long before MAGA. Given how vocal President Donald Trump has been about the league’s declining ratings, it would be easy to assume viewer protests are responsible for the ratings dip. That may not actually be the case. Ratings are generally up around the league. NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” for example, was up 10 percent from last season in Week 2. People are still watching football at a high rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And saying ratings were up in week 2 without saying the teams that played last year vs this year is a bit disingenuous. Dallas/Giants always does a big rating.

Dallas/Giants always does a big rating. It's one thing to say "it's part of it" and another to insinuate it's the major reason - we both know that's not the case.

Hardcore troubadour 12,591 Posted September 20, 2018 Here's how this will go in perpetuity---Folks will come here and lay out their reasons why the NFL sucks and that's why ratings are down, HT will counter with it's about the kneelers. Well Stupidmike, perhaps you haven't noticed, but Ive said it's one of, or part of the reason ratings are down. But good job of skipping over that part in order to make your false claim.

Kanil 519 Posted September 20, 2018 Putting his legacy and net worth on the line, and putting the lives of him and his family at risk, to run for president (and not take a salary after he won) when he has already achieved every financial, power, fame, and women goal a guy could dream of is probably the most patriotic thing he could do. He ran for president so he could MAGA, not for money and power like the last 3 presidents. How many lefties dodged the draft and were hailed as heroes? Now the left wants to call a draft dodger a traitor? ###### please. Speaking as someone who has served. Everyone (left, right, black, white, purple, gay, straight, evil, nice) that dodged the draft is an un-American poosay and should be deported. I don't care if you've "achieved every financial, power, fame, and woman goal a guy could dream of" or not. Anyone who dodged the draft does not get to lecture folks on Patriotism. That's the bottom line. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted September 21, 2018 Even the 70's Buccaneers jerseys weren't as butt ass fugly as these Browns unis.
