Re: Season over before it starts
Swear to God it’s like road rage.Ive cancelled all my social media accounts except Facebook because I need it for business. I did a mass purge on my personal account and don’t even look at it anymore.

Re: Season over before it starts
Last season was the first season I watched as not a die hard Saints fan but a football fan (fantasy football). I still pulled for the saints , its hard not too but as the season wore on, I watched games based on fantasy football (the NFL network Red Zone is like fantasy football porn by the way).
I will continue to watch the game itself for just fantasy football purposes, I watch them like a person that bets on horses watches a horse race. I could care less about their personal story. Just put up the stats that I need to win that week. |

The game has never been more popular and continues to grow around the world.

I suspect the ratings will plummet this year. I know at least 1 viewer who will stop watching if those a-holes kneel during the anthem. I'm hoping there are millions more. FTK - F*** The Kneelers |

I would venture to guess that the actual percentage of those that have totally given up watching the NFL because of any sort of protest is under 1%. Many claim but cannot stop watching the game they still love.
Another major factor is the emergence of sports bars and restaurants. These establishment have exploded over the past few years and they just count as a single viewer even if the place is packed with 200 people. Another factor is The Red Zone that has become extremely popular among fantasy players and gamblers. It is not counted toward the viewership of individual games which is what the ratings you have mentioned are based upon. I accept and respect your feelings and attitude, but the NFL is FAR bigger than this tiny objection from a vocal minority. Oh, and I'll put up $20 that this year's ratings will set records if the season takes place because it is the only game in town. That is easy money for me. Take that bet, Danno, my friend? |
