>NFL ratings are down. And they aren’t down by a fraction of a percent, but are down by double digit percentages. For a product that is essentially the same as it was last year, or the previous years, such a rapid decline is shocking. Ratings for “Monday Night Football” are down a staggering 24%. The decline for “Sunday Night Football” is 19% and “Thursday Night Football” is right behind them with an 18% decline.
>As league executives, team owners and a host of sports and media experts scrambled to make sense of the steep decline, one definitive poll from Seton Hall found that 56% of NFL fans believe the protests being held during the “Star-Spangled Banner” are to blame. That’s higher than any other reason given — including the presidential elections, oversaturation of sports and the fallout from fan awareness of CTE and traumatic brain injuries. Cord-cutting and expanded streaming options are also likely contributing to the ratings declines.

>It’s why Donald Trump is actually echoing the results of the poll on the campaign trail and publicly singling out Colin Kaepernick as the singular reason for the decline in the NFL ratings. Trump and his team of white supremacists and bigots know that such a mention would actually resonate with their base. Think about it. One study stated that 83% of NFL fans are white and also said that registered Republicans were 21% more likely to be NFL fans than Democrats. In other words, a significant chunk of NFL fans are Donald Trump supporters. The only real demographic he is winning is white men without college degrees.
>So, of course ratings are down and of course the league wide protests are playing a role. Anybody saying otherwise is willfully denying the role of race and racism in America.

Reminder that if you dont spend your Sundays watching handegg, youre racist.
what a wigger
more from the article
>Conservative white NFL fans love their teams and even feign loving the players on those teams as long as they keep their mouths closed about the civil and human rights of African-Americans. Sixty-nine percent of players in the league are black. A few more percentage points are from other ethnicities of color. Those numbers are likely to increase in the years ahead.
>What we have right now is the stark reality that uneducated conservative white men hate few things more in the world than a fully free black man — particularly a decidedly wealthy, physically fit, fully free black man who unashamedly and unabashedly raises his black fist in the air during the “Star-Spangled Banner.” That’s exactly what we have the NFL right now.
>Dozens and dozens of players from half of the teams in the league have raised their fist or taken a knee during the anthem with nothing more than a face of stone cold seriousness and it has clearly unnerved Donald Trump’s base to the point that they would rather stop watching the NFL than fix their eyes on a black man who is not seeking their love or approval.
>Let’s be honest. As far as the NFL is concerned, it’s absolutely a black and white thing. It’s why 100% of the white players that the Bleacher Report surveyed said they were supporting Donald Trump. It’s also why 100% of the players who’ve taken a knee or raised a fist for injustice are black. The divide on the field is simply representative of the divide off of it. It’s not unique. It represents the deepening divide I see all over this country.
>If Donald Trump has done anything, he has deepened the racial divide in this country and emboldened tens of millions of white Americans to embrace their whiteness in ways I’ve never seen in my lifetime. So, when Donald Trump attempted this weekend to use Colin Kaepernick as a political football, he did it because doing so is a popular thing to do with his base. They hate Colin. According to new polls, Colin is far and away the most hated player in the league right now. He’s not hated by black fans, but by conservative white fans who see him as the human personification of so much of what they hate in a black man.
>What is it that they hate exactly? He doesn’t curse. He’s never been in trouble a day in his life. He doesn’t abuse women. He plays hard in every game from start to finish. He’s calm, cool and quiet. He isn’t overtly emotional.
>They hate him because he’s free and because he is standing up for victims of injustice who’ve been railroaded by the very system they love and hold dear. Muhammad Ali was widely celebrated when he died earlier this year, but when the man was alive and standing up for black folk, he was widely despised by the same demographic that hates Colin Kaepernick today. But here’s the thing — we’re not going backwards. Black athletes in every sports league in America are standing up in brand new ways and feel fully empowered to do so. It’s amazing that we’ve gotten to this point, but here we are.
>This is America. 2016.
>mfw people still take this "nigger" seriously
Bumping and keking
...
Why is Talcum X relevant? Why do niggers allow a white guy to be their spokesperson?
It's almost like people tune into sports to watch sports and not expand their social consciousness.
The NBA being popular pretty much ends his entire arguement. Football is a garbage sport that ruins player's lives. People are just now starting to realize it.
Black leaders nowadays are self hating mulattoes. I respect Malcolm X more than these cry-bully cunts. At least he knew multiculturalism poisoned both sides.
>Talcum X
KEK
If this means that the anti-American protests will lead to salary reductions and eventual firings, I couldn't be happier.
Keep diving, view ratings!
>not liking cable deal prices is waaaaycisss
if he were a real activist hed be questioning the monopoly that two fucking conglomerates have on cable and not whether people are pissed off by that disrespectful benchwarmer or not.
oh wait, hes a corporate stooge who gets slipped checks by soros to pretend to be black and rouse the blm rabble!
How anyone can right that bs is beyond my compression.
Glad to see the NFL is losing cash faster than the clinton state department. Thats what happens when you force anything to be over 60% niggers. As long as niggers play for the nfl, mlb, nba, etc they will continue to murder and rape white women and get away with it. The NFL spared no expense in the OJ Simpson murder trials. They gave zero fucks when Kobe Bryant raped some white hotel worker.
Ratings are down because Refs are over-regulating the game and not letting the players play ball along with a new generation of unlikable QBs(Niggers and lesser Niggers)
I never got the hype behind football and am more a soccer/ baseball dude.
But why the fuck are eople this retarded
Talcum X needs to shut the fuck up, nobody is buying his race baiting anymore
>he plays hard in every game
wasnt he a benchwarmer? never heard his name once until he took a knee and im fucking obsessed with football.
Everything dies.
I watch football to get away from all the crappy stuff. Protesting means I change the channel.
malcolm x's autobiography was one of my first and biggest redpills
>people watch it to tune out and just have some fun
>make it about politics, preventing people from tuning out and having fun
>"why dey stop watchn?!"
he's right it's racism
that's what Kaper "the kneeling quarterback" nicks protests represent; racism against America.
Fuck Shawn
This.
He started a Super Bowl like three seasons ago
Im no amerifag, but the feminization of your nigger football league is incredible, Pink ribbons, refusal to sing the anthem, female Reporters in cabins, cuckhold super bowl halftime shows, faggot liberal mods, the list goes on and on, your shitsport isnt watchable anymore.
I blame Tom Brady, the cheatriots, the fudge packers and other bandwagon teams irrelevant to our hometowns being shoved down our throats by the networks
The games are boring, the announcers are boring, the teams I get to see are from Who the fuck cares USA
I'm not interested. The NFL is corrupt and inundated with whistles.
Tom Brady and the rest of those shitheel cheaters can go suck a dick
>spotted the mad shithawks fan
eat my cock
I mean is he actually wrong? Some probably have decided to tune out because they're sick of people using the NFL to try and push the BLM agenda and there's nothing wrong with that, because BLM is a pile of steaming horseshit, and celebrities who use their position to push politics are also steaming horseshit.
>Talcum X
fucking kek why have I never seen this nickname for him before
>What we have right now is the stark reality that uneducated conservative white men
>particularly a decidedly wealthy [...] black man
Who accumulated all his wealth from the money those uneducated conservative white men kept spending on the sport.
Without them he would be fucking nothing. He is not producing anything of inherent value that society depends upon, he is making his millions simply because people find him entertaining to watch.
The moment he tries to push his political agenda where it has no place he stops being entertaining and will have to face the reality of what he actually is.
Maybe this will teach the industry in general to keep the politics limited to paying bribes rather than trying to shove social engineering ideologies down their customer's throats.
Football was the most popular sport or a while. I expect all forms of entertainment to go eventually.
Oh vey, (((Sports Entertainment))) is losing money. What a disaster.
>democrats don't like handegg
Absolute scum
Panem et circenses
>Sixty-nine percent of players in the league are black. A few more percentage points are from other ethnicities of color. Those numbers are likely to increase in the years ahead.
This has been true for years.
>What we have right now is the stark reality that uneducated conservative white men hate few things more in the world than a fully free black man — particularly a decidedly wealthy, physically fit, fully free black man who unashamedly and unabashedly raises his black fist in the air during the “Star-Spangled Banner.” That’s exactly what we have the NFL right now.
Aside from the Star-Spangled Banner protests, there have been wealthy, outspoken black athletes dominating the NFL for years. So why are the racists only now quitting their NFL viewing habits?
I'm a casual NFL fan and I didn't watch this year because:
- Both Brady and Manning were out early. I'd always watch both
- My schedule just doesn't work with any of the games
- There's more fun things to do.
>blaming donald trump
kek what a dumbfuck, nobody want to watch handegg anymore and it's a fact.
>happening just as the last country on earth wakes up to the superiority of real football
It's definitely about race, folks.
Exactly right. Most people do not want political crap mixed into their entertainment. When you do this, they simply stop watching.
In the US, the religious fundamentalists made the same mistake when they mixed conservative politics into their religion. Because of this, a lot of Americans see Christianity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican party.
Politics doesn't mix very well with anything else. It tends to corrupt and poison anything that it touches.
Does anyone even care about Talcum X anymore? He's as irrelevant as Jesse Jackson.
>I mean is he actually wrong?
He's wrong when he comes to the conclusion that people tune out because they hate "free black men".
If that were the case they would have tuned out long ago. What people hate is patronizing shit being shoved down their throat during their free time where they just want to have fun.
THIS! Shawn King should hang himself.
>Hates Tom
Do you even want to make America great again, bro?
Nope.
There's been a Raiders ban here ever since they left southern california and left my city teamless. They only relocated a few hundred miles away, we're in the same state ffs
Oh but if there's a colts or patriots game, it's always on the tv. Who the fuck cares, NOBODY. They might as well be representing Mars. Keep your disgusting teams where they belong
I mean he is partly right. NFL's ratings are decline for Colin Kaepernick's stance. Which is bringing out people's racism. So it is Kaepernick and racism that are bringing down NFL ratings. As racist people are likely boycotting the NFL until he is kicked out of the league.
>watching niggerball
>any year
In st. Louis we just hate stan kroenke
Cable companies subsidize the cost of sports by raising the price on other things. Your bill is so high because football. Cut the cord already
Wow, I agree with this guy
> Reason I could care less about NFL
This guy is like that lunatic woman that thinks she's black.
Funny shit.
Ahhhh... California. Fall into the ocean pls.
white people watch ice hockey.
You know this is really interesting. Why would a fan, who most likely loves american, maybe even has served in the military, be upset by a man, who makes 10 times what the fan does, disrespecting the national anthem.
It's down because of a combination of:
No fun/flags from doing anything
Bad refs
Goodell
Commercials all the time
Domestic abuse policy
CTE fears (youth enrollment way down)
Ticket prices and concessions are outrageous
This is just off the top of my head.
>NFL
Literally no one cares
Same situation in st louis after kroenke took the rams away. Feel ya man
Why do NFL fans constantly clap at the television and say "our" team?
buh buh buh but, American is not a race. It's an ethnicity.
Fuck this Soros bootlicker he is fucking white. Not mixed. Not black.
...
...
Why the fuck would you want to watch a Raiders game? People want to watch decent football not JV peewee league.
I think the National Anthem protests was simply the tipping point, where many white Americans could no longer support the NFL.
It is the combination of nigger players doing drugs and beating women, of terrible officiating, of poor play on the field, of the NFL trying to make the game safer by essentially removing special teams.
I used to tune in every week to watch the games, but now I'd rather do other things then watch the unlikeable product on the field.
Isn't his claim that his mom fucked a black guy?
Shaun King is the leader of BLM?
are you a mani disagree. american is a race. don't believe me? go abroad.
I'm clapping at your post, can you hear it?
75% white
100% nigger
Oakland Raiders are currently 6-2 m8. They're doing quite well this season surprisingly.
handegg and drifty car circle are perfect fatass americuck sports.
KEK
Based Sup Forums here: ratings are down due to dogshit games, especially in primetime.
Only hipster nu-male faggots and spics like divegrass.
what about the real issue? the NFL being exempt from taxes.
we have a chance, don't care
I actually know a few people who have completely stopped watching the NFL because of kaepernick. I'm sure Talcum X considers that racism, so he's not really wrong.
Football is becoming really feminized too from what I understand. And I guess ESPN is mostly an SJW circlejerk now according to my friends that actually watch sports. I've always hated football so I don't know.
SHAUN YOU ARE WHITE MY MAN
WAKE UP
No it isn't; the league office gave up its non-profit status last year.
Yea and they lead the league in penalties, that shit is going to bite them in the ass
There's just too much football on now, Thursday night games were a really dumb idea.
It started last season with the Panthers, or before with Seattle, pushing the black team that acts like niggers over the other teams. In the Super Bowl, we had everyone in the media and all blacks making it a race issue...because Denver had a white qb. Plus the nigger supremacy halftime show.
The anthem shit just made it 100X worse. The NFL turned SJW on their fans, but expect everyone to keep paying. Nope. No NFL Gamepass this year, no watching games. Fuck breast cancer. Fuck the rule changes. But especially fuck the league office cowardice. And niggers, of course.
how about this one. the military pays the NFL to do the national anthem
>Full of ant-American nigs
>Blames racist Americans for falling ratings
Made me drink
Remember lads. When Trump wins next week, our work has only just begun.
They're going to spend 8 years trying to destroy him. We have to stay vigilant and do what we can to prove that these people are on the wrong side of history.
Every day. It's a long and grueling process to remove cancer.
Yes, and?
People who watch sports without majority White players are cucks, plain and simple.
You just know the first time legit niggers hear this nickname they lose their shit
Worst board on the site, by far.
Keep lying to yourselves. This is black supremacy bullshit being pushed in the faces of the people who pay the bills.
without this propaganda their little protest problem wouldnt exist in the first place.
Duh you think a black guy could do the work?
Was pretty funny when parts of our media got mad that shooting, riding and handball got into the focus for a while due to our teams doing well in the olympics in those categories - because they are dominated by whites. IIRC, our handball team did not have a single non-white in it. So there were a couple of articles claiming that the only reason people were willing to care about it was because there weren't any non-whites.
Since going to Sup Forums I've started to like nigger sports less and starting to watch hockey and baseball more.
So what do they want, government mandated NFL watching?
I blame Amy Shumer and the stupid fucking sjw bud light commercials, also the star spangled banner thing.
>Raiders lead the league in penalties
That has always been the case since like the early seventies. If there is one thing that pisses me off about the game of football, besides all the political bullshit surrounding the game, it's fucking over-officiating.
Doesn't matter who the coach/owner/players are, the Raiders are going to be penalized the most.
Of course not. Leftists are less likely to watch the NFL of their own accord. And when they do watch it they always try to bring political bs into it, such as the black vs white narrative for the Super Bowl last year.
Haven't watched an NFL game since 2006. I don't recall that being a particularly good year for them but they were pretty much a joke before that as well.
I'm sure they'll fuck it up.
This reads like something you'd find on stormfront but with the races switched.
I hope a nigger stabs or shoots him to death, I'm tired of this wigger race baiting and pretending he's a kang.
