Fox News is cheering over the NFL apparently dropping in the ratings by 10% this year.
Watch below:
More from Fox News:
The National Football League’s television ratings were down this season, leading some to question whether anthem protests had turned some fans off.
According to USA Today, the average audience across the four broadcasters of NFL games fell 10 percent in the 2017 regular season.
This follows an 8 percent drop across CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN last season, when former quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other players began kneeling for “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games.
Even with the lower viewership, NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” is still expected to be the most-watched prime-time show of the year, while Sunday daytime and Monday night broadcasts continued to dominate rival programming.
Usually the regular season ends with a Sunday night matchup, but the league did not schedule one for last weekend, citing fans likely to be busy with New Year’s Eve celebrations.
BUT, as they point out, the NFL is still on top of the ratings game overall. AND it must be noted that people are watching their televisions less overall. IN fact, a lot of analysts believe that television itself is limping along and the only thing keeping it profitable is football.
One last thing – doesn’t it seem like a liberal principle to demand that politics pervade every aspect of life? I thought conservatism meant that we basically want the state and politics to stay out of people’s lives. And that’s why I’m going to the Bills Jaguars playoffs game, so there!!
