The top 3 spots and 6 of the top 10 rated shows last week were related to the NFL.

So much for all that BS about boycotting the NFL due to players kneeling.

Of course, there are other ways to look at this. First, over TV viewership is down due to cable cutting, but folks still tune in to watch sports. Second, there are only so many potential watchers being courted by innumerable channels, so few shows crack the top 10 other than sports events. Third, even though the NFL seems to be doing well actual football numbers are objectively down and coupled with overall viewership being down it looks good on the surface but really isn't (i.e., "big fish in big pond" is now a "larger than the rest of the fish fish in a smaller pond").

I have no idea if any of this is the case. Could also be that Mr/Ms/Xs Trans has gotten this correct. All I'm saying is that Trans is dancing in the end zone without providing any context (typical Trans). So we don't really know if this is a TD or Trans scrambling to avoid the sack/safety.

Back to you, Trans. Context, please?

Of course they were. I bet if you check the most watch TV shows from last year most of the slots would belong to the NFL as well. That's because the NFL ratings didn't just routinely beat all other shows, they decimated them. There has been a dip in viewership, but not nearly enough for them to fall behind other regular shows. The drop in NFL attendance was a bit more pronounced in some cities. That's what owners were more concerned about. It wasn't all due to a boycott over kneeling, but that was mentioned enough that it got the attention of those owners who started to feel it in the loss of concession revenue. And it is the easiest problem for the NFL to fix. Simply require the players to stand or remain in the locker room. It isn't a first amendment violation, it is simply a workplace rule.

Do those ratings mean that the master/slave working relationship of the NFL is thriving? I hear it called that a lot.

‘No one wants wokefootball’: Clay Travis NAILS IT on why the NFL’s ratings increased this year


As the Hollywood Reporter points out, a two-year downward trend was reversed:

“The NFL stopped a two-year ratings slide and increased its audience across all of its broadcast windows during the regular season, which ended Sunday. Games on CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN and NFL Network averaged about 15.8 million viewers — slightly below that figure including two games played in London, slightly above without them — an improvement of 800,000 viewers, or 5 percent, on the 2017 season.”​
