    "NBC's "Sunday Night Football" in the first two weeks of the regular season is down 7% in viewership compared to last year; ESPN's "Monday Night Football," is down 5%; and the averages of Sunday afternoon games on Fox and CBS are down 11% and 19% respectively, according to Nielsen data. Also, CBS hasn't yet had a 4:25 p.m. national game this season, which usually brings in the biggest viewership of the weekend."

    (And last year was the year the media was shocked at how low ratings were)

  4. Last year the fake news liberal media blamed the election for plummeting ratings.
    I wonder what they will try to get the sheep to believe this year? Anything to hide the truth.

  5. I wonder how the "percentage of blacks attending NFL games" compares to the percentage of our black population... ?

    IOW... What percentage of blacks can afford NFL tickets?

    This is the problem with most political thinking. Rational folks go "Hmm, when most people disagree with me, there might be a flaw in my logic." Fanatics think the flaw is with everyone other than them.

    Steelers coach Mike Tomlin raps Alejandro Villanueva for standing for national anthem
    http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2017/...lanueva-for-standing-for-national-anthem.html

    For Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, being “respectful of our football team” trumped the right of Steelers offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva to show respect for the national anthem.

    A former Army Ranger, Villanueva was the only Steeler to break from the team's orders and come out of the tunnel Sunday in Chicago to stand for The Star Spangled Banner.

    Speaking after his team's 23-17 loss to the Bears, Tomlin appeared to take a swipe at the Bronze Star recipient's decision.

    “Like I said, I was looking for 100 percent participation, we were gonna be respectful of our football team,” Tomlin said.

    Tomlin told the media prior to kickoff Sunday that the Steelers held a team meeting and decided to not come out of the locker room for the national anthem. Tomlin added the intent was to have his team focus on the game and not President Trump’s comments blasting players who chose to protest during the playing of The Star Spangled Banner.

    “Many of them felt like something needed to be done. I asked those guys to discuss it and whatever they discussed that we have 100 percent participation or we do nothing,” Tomlin said after the game. “They discussed it for an appropriate length of time and they couldn’t come to an understanding, so they chose to remove themselves from it. They were not going to be disrespectful in the anthem so they chose not to participate, but at the same time many of them were not going to accept the words of the president.”

    Villanueva, who served three tours in Afghanistan, decided to stand his ground instead and placed his hand over his heart while the anthem played.

    Except the source you cited in that thread made no such claim.


    Hispanics have been in the Southwest since before Plymouth Rock. Mexicans have been in the Southwest before the civil war. I know it's a tough concept for you to handle.
