Not true...there are a lot of great stories in the league this fall...Ratings should be soaring...But #boycottNFL is working...This tank in the rating is due to Collin Kaepernick and nothing else
Do the ratings take into account all the differing ways you can watch NFL games now? I could see streaming having an effect since a lot of people are now cutting the cable, but have no idea if that's accounted for or even if there it is enough to make an impact.
Watched on Twitter the past 2 weeks. Pretty cool. Don't need cable, can stream from my phone to my TV. I wish one sports league would really get ahead of the program here.
While I agree with your post overall, I disagree with the "not true" response to RF's post. QB play sucks for the most part & there are too many commercials, both making it hard to enjoy. Perhaps I'm just getting older, but I remember when every game was a must-see. When I read the matchups for each week, there are only a couple of games I would give a crap about if I wasn't boycotting for the most part.
The NFL isn't "interjecting their opinion" on anyone, including the players. That is why people are upset. The fans want the NFL to impose their opinions on the players.
Not true...The intelligent fans recognize the gameday environment as a workplace...There is no freedom of speech in the work place...Fans have a reasonable expectation the NFL would demand respect for our anthem and flag in the work place...If you believe freedom of speech exists in the workplace go on your job and protest Islam or Obama
You are right, but that is not what I said. You actually proved my point. The NFL and the owner are not restricting their employees or imposing the owners' or the fans' beliefs on their employees. They are letting their employees do what they want.
