NFL Rating Down

Reports as high as 28% for the weekend. Some saying it needs adjusting. Either way they are down.


Writing was on the wall with Fantasy play down. These are the people who watch all the games. Knock a portion of them out and it's going to happen for the rest of the year.

Posting the most liberal story I could find. They spin it some but ratings are in fact down. Some on here pounced on me for stating this would happen. I don't pounce. Just stating reality.

Approx 80 million play Fantasy Football. The industry has stated they are down 10-20% in participation. These people watch many games, not just their home team.

Basic reasoning, that's 8-12 million no longer watching all these games. They might watch their home team but all the other games, no reason to watch anymore.

The NFL numbers will be down the entire season for that reason alone.

Re: NFL Rating Down

It surprises me how many people will deny the obvious. I understand
there is a passion, and you do not want to read the writing. I am as
saddened, as you will be soon. Although I'm still excited to have so much extra time for other things this Fall, like kayaking.

You did not know a more passionate fan than I was,
and there are a dozen people here, who will confirm that.

MSN is not exactly Fox News, and the fact that they are reporting this suggests a tip and an iceberg.

MSN.

Yahoo at least let people comment but they stopped that recently until further notice. Not sure what that means. They did leave them up in the financial section though.

Re: NFL Rating Down

blah, blah, blah..., a bunch of crap was just thrown at us. Very simple question: Did viewership , year to year decrease? I’ll give you the answer - Yes, it did. And in some cases by double digits. Nothing else matters.

And how does that matter? There are several reasons why measured viewership numbers have decreased for the NFL, and every other form of programming for that matter, over the past few years. How is that relevant? NFL revenues contine to increase at a rate greater than the measured viewership decreases. I'm just curious as to Beast's point in attempting to point this out incessantly.

Do you have an idea?

Some forms of programming are up. I think you meant most are down.
