NFL Considering New Rule To Keep Players In The Locker Rooms During The National Anthem

=================

there is little question that football viewership, the jewel of the cable bundle, is in decline; and this, in itself, is an important media story. But also no, since it’s not clear that either the president or the protests are the primary culprit.

the general trend is down in almost every window for the last four years.

Last year, the NFL’s decline accelerated due to an uptick in cord-cutting, a blockbuster presidential election, and a raft of non-compe ive games.

Some high-profile surveys blamed Colin Kaepernick and other pre-game protesters. (Spurstalk racists, for sure! )

And there is no question that many Americans are personally offendedby pre-game demonstrations.

But this explanation is unsatisfying, for two reasons.

First, Kaepernick isn’t on any NFL team in 2017, and Week 1 viewership this year was even lower than 2016, in some windows.

What’s more, there is some evidence that the number of people who watched any part of an NFL game increased in 2016, and ratings only dropped because

fewer people watched until the end.

This suggests that the quality of the gameplay, not the tenor of politics, was the more important culprit.

Same "game quality" problem with NBA, 2400 games / season, with 2000 being totally meaningless by boringly mediocre to ty teams.

Too many teams as "check my ostentation" and/or tax write offs for Capitalists, and not enough talent.
