The truth is that drop in viewers was no big deal. Knee jerk reactions to protestors of BLM, Kaepernack, player's kneeling and Trump. Bet they're all watching tonight. :hmm:
 
I personally don't watch as much professional football because it simply doesn't interest me that much. The rule changes have allowed the refs to dictate the outcome of games. America likes violence, and if for no other reason, football isn't going anywhere soon. That's just my opinion.

On the MTP show....they said it's been declining since 2014..... also in part because of the high lighting of player brain injuries .... haven't found a separate vid for it yet....but the segment was in the last 15 minutes of the show !!!

Last night's Super Bowl ratings were the lowest in 8 years

...Despite a game roundly agreed to be an exciting affair that saw underdogs triumph over the cool kids, Deadline reports Super Bowl LII is the lowest-rated installment of the football event since 2010, when the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts. Despite increased streaming options helping lure viewers tuning in from a variety of platforms, some of the key metrics determining the overall ratings show a marked dip, which is in keeping with the ratings for this year’s NFL season overall...
 
That means the few Black protesters who decided to do something even the players didn't do , and the few CAC alt right protestors - the percentage of them who actually had the resolve to stay away like they said--- were all down for the same cause last night. Congrats lol.
 
I’m honestly sick of the word “Gronk”. Yeah he’s a dominant player but the amount of pole jocking of him during any NE broadcast is nauseating.
 
Kap or not football is like its fans dying out everyday. Its a sport that causes more trouble long term via injuries and poor quality of life for its players.

Exactly. But it's still got a good 20-30 years of American supremacy left and while it's a source of income for mostly black players, doesn't make sense that so called pro blacks wanna destroy it lol. Meanwhile Atlanta is bidding for next year again lol

I don't care how far viewer percentage points drop. Remember this, "as long as there's millions to be made by the players and coaches there will be football. "As long as there's millions to be made by the owners there will be football. Lastly as long as there's billions to be made by the league, there will be football." End of story!

I believe they have it from the way people were talking. I know personal folk player and fan who made nice bread last night.

Atl is gonna make bread next year.
 
I swear to god.... something is terribly wrong with you so called black men. You are all celebrating the NFL decline, saying fuck the NFL, etc. the last time I looked, almost every player in the nfl is black. It’s a business where black men can become financially secure and maybe trickle some of that wealth back into the hood. This is the company you dumb fucks hope fails...

You hope it fails because some cacs are upset over niggas taking a knee during the anthem? Really? Black men have dreams of making it to the NFL and you dumb project loser idiots are excited over low ratings?

It doesn’t matter that the owners are getting richer.... we are also getting richer. Sometimes players can eventually buy teams (Jordan, Jeter, etc). I hope the NFL continues to do well. The NFL is a company... it’s a business... it’s in business to make money, period!

From my time on this site I’ve realized something.... even though we are oppressed by cacs and we’ve had more obstacles and hurdles in front of us than all other races...despite all of this, our main reason for being on the bottom is blatantly obvious (if bgol is a true microcosm of black people). We are just a bunch of idiots... there’s no way to sugar coat it. You Niggas here are some of the most feeble minded people of all time and are a total embarrassment. I hope to god you niggas don’t interact with other races. I don’t want you niggas representing me.

People don't want to hear it, but commercials are killing football. I cut the cord in 2010. Only time I have to deal with commercials is while watching sports. We have more and more people who don't watch fucking commercials. Shit is brutal. I'm used to 22 minutes(for 30 minutes) or 42 minutes(for an hour) for shows. NFL games are the worst. Fuck that shit. :smh:

There's not much game action, too many replays, and too many fucking commercials for the attention span of more and more people of today. More and more people rather just watch highlights. It's how I started to treat the NBA season.

I think you're off your rocker lol. Football fans watch the game, but casuals like me and millions of others ONLY tune in for the commercials and the halftime shows. This year, I'm told , is the first actual GOOD GAME in years. People talked about Tiffany Haddish and Cardi B getting their shots at commercials all night.


Sidenote :Funny how Cardi also gets credit for not performing at the halftime show until Kaep plays (even though no one asked her to) , but she had no problem taking the money to be in the covered Superbowl commercials tho. Slacktivists strike again
 
Pats fatigue, Mofos not even knowing what a catch is or is not, inconsistent refs, if you put a good lick on a player and it's not helmet to helmet they will call a penalty when football is a brutal/ barbaric sport.

The good guys won last night tho. Congrats to Philly they said they was gonna have a Meek Mills hologram at the parade :giggle:

LMAO. Obviously, fans aren't tuning in since the ratings are dropping. Commercials were leaked, and straight men ain't tuning in to watch Justin Timberlake. Nowadays, people showing up for free party food and beer more than anything else.
 
Still 110 million people watched the shit. For everyone boycotting whether it was because people kneeled or because Kap not in the league......I expected more.

i enjoy the chess match of an nfl game and the game length does not bother me. and its only a 16 game season.

82 games for a season is fucking ridiculous though. i don't watch nba until after march madness.

and baseball is even worse and i like watching baseball too.

Yeah but you said it was BECAUSE of commercials. Commercials are what made the ratings higher than they're were when it was just a game. The amount of viewers coming in for that - I think is WAY less than any amount of people leaving because of em. Id go so far as to say that if you cut back on the commercials and halftime show, they'd lose their shirt.
