Monday Night Football had record breaking viewership in 2015 and has now hit it’s lowest viewership numbers since its inception in 1970!

The NFL is even having to refund advertisers because they are far below promised metrics!

I have a feeling, the NFL is trying to find a way to stop the bleeding as I write! Colin Kaepernick, you killed football!!

SilverBlackAndPride reports:

There has been a nasty little surprise for the NFL this season, their television ratings are in a steady decline. Their flagship program Monday Night Football on ESPN specifically has been getting raked over the coals. In fact, one week was their lowest rated game in the history of Monday Night Football.

Even when taking that game out of consideration due to the unique programming battle it had, the ratings for MNF have been going down. This past Monday’s game wasn’t against any potential presidents and it still dropped 8% from the previous year’s week. Now, that’s better than the 19% overall they were down going into that game but it still isn’t what the NFL was expecting.

It’s not just MNF though, Sunday Night Football is also experiencing an ample drop in ratings. They just experienced the lowest overnight ratings they have had since 2007 after this past week’s Steelers clobbering of the Chiefs. Their viewership numbers were their lowest of the season.

The NFL is worried. The NFL Player’s Association executive director DeMaurice Smith told NBC’s ProFootballTalk that it’s a “huge concern” for his organization.

When are these idiots that rely on the free market going to learn that in this country there is more than one way to vote? This far left PC crap loses them money every time!

I will also keep pointing out that Kaepernick and Co. are not even really protesting. What they are doing is a lazy 3 minute antic. They don’t have the guts to go out and really stand somewhere holding a sign for countless hours. When they are done with the game they go on their merry way and do absolutely nothing for their cause.

It is insanity and they should all be fired for costing their BOSSES money. Most of those participating in these lazy antics can barely hold their own on a field anyway.

People should ignore football entirely.  How many people still follow what's happening in Afghanistan?  We've been there 15 years now!  People are still getting killed for what amounts to less than minimum wage and they do it to keep those terrorists from killing you.  Those guys should be stars in America, not people defending a ball.

Wait, do you really mean that stuff like wars, economy, corruption are more important than who hooked up on the bachelor? 

If you want to know why this country is looking down the barrel of a gun you need to know only two statistics:

Number of people who watched the superbowl in 2016: 114 million
Number of people who watched the first presidential debate: 84 million

Agreed to an extent.  You can politically aware as well as enjoy sports.  Anyway the morals of this country are going to poop imo.  Good thing our future presidential candidates are good role models......:sorry:

One could be equally aware but I am positive the average american is far more aware of sports stats than political policy or who is even running their country. I promise you more people can tell you who colin whats his face is than who john kerry is. I absolutely guarantee it. And yet many of these people think they should vote. And they will. And that's why we have hillary vs trump now, because of people like that.

well if america takes your advice on ignoring football entirely, then this goal will be met very soon. 

And it will be because Leftist Progressive PC idiots allowed some footballers to be disrespectful to the country.  A business that does that in America deserves to go under.  But the blame still goes to all those who want to "change" America.  The NFL can be acceptable again for anyone interested after they clean house and fix their bias.
