NFL ratings slide continues

NFL's ratings woes continued in Week 2, and Wall Street is taking notice, given there are fewer excuses for falling viewership than there were a year ago when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were distracting TV-watching Americans.

While NFL games remain some of the most-watched content on television, ratings slid 12 percent in the NFL's opening weekend, with many blaming Hurricane Irma. But without dramatic weather, the second weekend was off 15 percent year-over-year. This comes after an 8 percent ratings slump last season.

Boring games are the real issue.

They will continue to go down. Millennials and whatever the next group is named don't watch tv.

what happened to your love of free speech?

calling for people who you disagree with to be fired is fine.

It's a business. Serve the customers or get fired. These guys are pissing off the customers. Not a good business plan going forward.

Fuck them."

Fuck the NFL for taking the stance they did. How self-absorbed must you be to think your employees "cause" is more important to Americans than taking 2 minutes to honor the men and women who fought for and many who injured/died protecting our freedoms including being able to play a sport for big $

I will not buy or probably wear another piece of hawk gear again. A couple who normally meets at a bar to watch the games with my wife didn't go today because of it, and a 40 year lifelong Hawk fan who would literally skip the birth of his child to watch the Seahawks went for a ride on his Harley instead of watching the game. Until this stuff all started, there would have been no odds on earth I would have taken for him to miss a game to go on a bike ride.

I hope NFL ratings go down by another 25% because of all this.

The NFL values its employees.

This is a good thing in a free society.

If you think your little snowflake heart is more important than the players are, you suck.

Is this the same NFL who hid CTE from their "valuable" employees for the last how many years 15-20

Right on the free society, wrong on the platform they are choosing to stage it on.

My snowflake heart is not any more important than theirs. I just think a bunch of 1%'s players and their owners living in their ivory tower cocoon's are missing from a business decision that their customers (tv viewers) do not agree with how they are choosing to support their cause.

When your employees are fucking around, acting like faggots, dissing the customers, and you side with them over the customers, lets see how long you're going to stay in business.

I wonder if any of these overpaid, entitled sore losers would really put it on the line and quit football if owners start cracking down. Probably not. Money will always trump their fake outrage.

That's a great idea. What if one owner had the balls to simply say that if you can't stand/kneel, whatever and respect the flag and what it stands for, I will fine you 50k which will then be donated into the wounded warriors fund (my choice), or if you want to really stuff it in their ass, a program that supports the social cause they are supporting. In addition each time you choose to do it again, the fine doubles.

How many more weeks would this go on for? o/u would be 2

Not to Colorado last two games and pile on, but is this the same NFL who again values it's employees so much, yet the founding father of the movement (Colin K) magically is not one of the 75 best qb's in America (wink wink) and has been unofficially blackballed? You'd think there would be at least one brave owner willing to throw him a bone for the feel good story it would generate.

There are a lot of Trump donors who own NFL teams. None of them have done this.

Think about it.
