I'm skeptical that the reason a 17-point Skins/Raiders game had fewer viewers than Falcons/Packers is entirely the result of political abstainees.

That's probably got very little to do with the ratings drop. Television ratings have been dropping for years across the board because of the number of options available for entertainment, both on tv and streaming.

Plus I'm pretty sure the Skins/Raiders was 21-0 at some point, so people were surely flipping it off and/or checking the score online and not tuning in due to the nature of blowouts.

And the new information about head injuries. And all sorts of other things that are currently causing NFL viewership to drop year by year, and have been for a while.

Also, people definitely didn't mind politics in their NFL for the past 15 years since 9/11, with all the military displays, flyovers, "never forget" messages, and military recruitment. The NFL has been a political machine for years.

Literally lots of data out there showing ratings declining over the years for a multitude of valid reasons

Yet people point to a few people sitting during the anthem for a minute as being the reason they can't watch the rest of the 3 hours event. Yeah I doubt even 1% of normal viewers stopped watching at all because of that specific reason.

And if someone does stop watching specifically because of that, they sound like the type of person that needs to stop being sensitive.

Funny thing about this whole thing blowing up in the first place is because people were losing their minds over Kaepernick sitting. He wasn't bringing attention to himself, triggered people on the right decided to make it an issue.

Bullshit, every military flyby, every time soldiers are brought on the field and every time the anthem is played is politics.

People are fine with politics they just want it to be politics they agree with.

Oh shit I forgot if you comment on anything political you must side on the extreme left or extreme right and anything in the middle doesn't exist because you don't know how to engage with anyone in a political debate if you can't label them first.

The audience for football is mostly white people that already like to ignore social issues that don't concern them, so tough shit. Cops shooting unarmed and unthreatening citizens is more important than watching overpaid clowns manhandling each other.

You can't be serious. The fact that NFL players are even on the field during the anthem is because the DoD paid teams to do so. As advertising.

You're confusing "political" with "partisan." Things don't stop being political just because Republicans and Democrats agree on them.

Standing for the anthem is absolutely a political statement.

That's why snowflakes are getting triggered by people not doing so.

Probably not, but he certainly speaks for a lot of them. And some of them have decided to stop watching because of that.
