Triumph of Trump: NFL kneeling

[rogue06]

Good, John Schnatter, Founder and Ceo of Papa Johns is a greedy selfish jerk anyway who raled against the raising of the minimum wage for his employee's even though his Co. profits were booming.

I always see "Now Hiring" signs at Domino's and Pizza Hut. If it was so bad at Papa Johns nobody was forcing them to work there.

But the point that soared over your little pinhead is that this is yet another indication that the multi-millionaire athletes are destroying their industry. Just think of how many drug dealers and hookers will be adversely effected when that happens.

If you actually read what you cite you would have noticed that the NFL"S ratings drop began long before the origin of Kaepernick taking a knee in protest, and further before Trumps use of the protest for political reasons.

Seriously, are you high? What I cite says nothing of the sort regarding any sort of drop pre-Kaepernick. No one is pretending that the drop didn't start until Trump opened his yap.

Nah, you're just hopeful that they are destroying their industry. But my little pinhead is not quite getting your point concerning drug dealers and hookers. Would you care to elaborate?

The drop started before Kaepernick even began his protest.

There had been a slight down turn in viewership but not attendance where it was not uncommon for games to play to SRO crowds. I even showed you how the worst teams in the league had 90% capacity crowds. After Kaepernick the drop in viewership turned into a nose dive and now attendance at the games has plummeted as well.

Trumps claim of falling ratings is bogus, okay. All sports, including NASCAR have been in decline for some time now and it has little if anything to do with protests.

Here, read it and weep.

Ratings also fluctuate from year to year. So if you can't accept that then there's no help for you.

Not sure there was a slight downturn in viewership either. from January 2016:

Politifact? No surprise they'd attempt to twist the numbers to support the MSM POV. The article I cited directly above rather puts the lie to their attempts.

Not only that but the politifact article is from Sept 24 and they are only using the first two weeks of ratings data according to their own article.

Hmmm, did you happen to read the fact that ratings for all sports are down? There are no protests in NASCAR, no protests in Basketball, and yet their ratings are down and the NFL has them all beat in the ratings. So, if it makes you feel better to believe that conservative boycotting is killing the NFL, enjoy your little fantasy.

So wait...they conclude his claim is false, and then say that the data set is too small to draw any conclusions?

[rogue06]

They haven't gone in free fall like what the NFL is experiencing. And attendance for teams that were getting 90% capacity looks like they're lucky to get 70%.

It's politifact. A very ironically-named web site.

They're just getting harder and harder to parody.... It's like they're not even trying anymore.
