Surprised By Sagging NFL Ratings? The Reason Is Not Too Hard To Find
It’s a very muddied water right now because you’ve got obviously the debates going on and you have the Donald Trump show, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank told USA TODAY Sports. That’s a lot of commotion right now. It’s pretty hard to figure out right now what’s real and what’s not. Can I add the anti-American Converted Muslim who plays for the San Francisco 49’s, who is turning off the American Populace to the game they love? To me, this is the tip of the spear.
That wasn’t the entire company line, but the impact of the dramatic presidential election cycle was certainly a prevailing sentiment as NFL owners gathered Tuesday for their quarterly meeting and assessed the league’s unusual and precipitous dip in TV ratings.
Assuming the results aren’t, well, rigged, NFL games — the undisputed king of U.S. sports viewing — were down 11% for the first six weeks of the season when compared to a similar point last year.
Blame it on Hillary vs. Donald? Or a sign of deeper problems for the NFL?
We can also assume all the Political Correctness injected into the production of games, such as the Half Time Show agenda’s, the wearing of pink in October for Cancer Awareness. Before I’m attacked about not being sensitive, my Son is a survivor and have friends battling now, but what does the pink accomplish, but take the spectators mind away from the joy of the sport. The league has lost track, the game is a diversion for everyday concerns. For one day, leave it alone, so Americans can have a moments peace. Now you inject politics! The one thing that has torn families apart over generations! Now it has gone to far. As the old saying goes, “You reap what you sow.” What do you think?
