Poll: People Stopped Watching the NFL Because of Colin Kaepernick

(excerpt)

A new poll from J.D. Power of NFL viewers who had started to watch less games showed that the main reason for the decreased viewership was Colin Kaepernick’s anti-national anthem protests, according to ESPN.

The survey revealed that 26 percent of those who watched fewer games had tuned out due to Kaepernick’s protests. The second-most popular reason dealt with the NFL’s handling of issues related to rules and off-field player conduct at 24 percent.

It was National Anthem Protests, and not Kaep specifically that was asked in the poll. There was a total of 49 players during last season that made a gesture of protest during the National Anthem. Kaep was just the guy that got it started. At any rate of those that said they were watching less games about 1 in 4 named protests as the reason. Since viewership was down an average of 8 percent per game, the protests accounted for about 2 percent of the decline. In general all sports have seen a decline in viewership and attendance.

Here is a pretty good analysis of what the poll actually said.

To be fair to this communist sympathizer Kaepernick, there are too many contents available nowadays. The NFL is no longer a premium like it used to be. ESPN is suffering the same fate. Second, fixed game. NFL cannot keep foolong people with these miraculous comeback when in reality the chances are near zero. It brings excitement to the game for sure but sooner or later, viewers are going to say sos play again. Third, get fid of this thuggism attitude from the players.

White people shouldnt be watching NFL in the first place.
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

Yeah, there were something like 9200 people surveyed and 12% said they watched less, and 26% of THOSE said it had something to do with the protests. So, about 260 of 9200.

Fake news.

He's not a communist sympathizer. :rollseyes:

He wants what the Flag and Anthem stands for, to stand for every American in application.


Don't you?

If anyone stopped watching because of Colin Kaepernick they weren't great fans of the sport to start with.

Thanks to Colin, there are fewer and fewer such fans.

Whites are physically inferior to blacks. That's why snowflakes like harambe wont watch. It hurts too much.
