MAGAconservatives:
The NFL’s ratings continue to plummet and with no bottom in sight networks are doing the unthinkable – giving price discounts to advertisers.
The NFL usually delivers ratings gold and networks can command huge fees from advertisers and the NFL can in turn demand huge fees from the networks for showing the games.
But that symbiotic and very profitable relationship may be over soon. “Even as surefire as the NFL has been—and the last couple years, NFL ratings stood up much better than network prime-time ratings—we are now in a situation where the NFL is declining,” said Gibbs Hajun, investment lead at WPP PLC ad-buying firm Mindshare. more
Pretty sure ANTIFA and BLM don’t buy a lot of things advertised during NFL games, or if they even watch football.
“ But this year, NFL ratings have taken a hit as pandemic-related postponements have pushed some games to less desirable times and the coronavirus has sidelined some star players.”
You just keep telling yourself that
The economic impact of this BLM/ANTIFA shit will be catastrophic
Insurance companies are not willing to indemnify businesses located in Portland OR too. Capital flight means blight. The tax base in Portland is going to go when businesses locate elsewhere.
Major league sports, and cities like Seattle and Portland are going to be case studies in the future. Both are living on borrowed time.
Gee, that’s a shame. [/sarc]
The NFL created their own problems, sucking up to China.
Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, future Chinese strongholds in America. Blight out, rebuild big apartments, fill with Chinese, Repeat.
Imagine a 100 sq ft apartment.
NASCAR, SSDD!
Fuck em! Eh!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of guys.
I still don’t think they’ve figured out that they’ve pushed most of the fans away, many of whom will NEVER come back regardless of any improvements made.
Over paid crybabies playing a kids game are in for a rude awakening when the player salaries start getting cut.
I am just sooooooo surprised that people don’t want to organize their Sundays around the games and then get continually insulted when they turn in. Doesn’t say much about the rocket scientists that run the league.
The NFL can tell themselves it’s the pandemic all they want.
What will the excuse be when even fewer people watch next season?
Get woke, go broke.
This ought to be a wake up call to other companies that are getting woke.
Maybe the Players should up Their Game and take a Page out of the blm Playbook,
Burn Your Own Stadium to the ground…I’d pay to see that.
Who?
don’t support blm/chink/dindu/felon/kneeler ball, round or pointed
don’t support blm/chink/critical race theory/dindu/ebonics/felon/implicit bias/kneeler ball, round or pointed
A few years ago, pre Kaepernik, people locked in their homes would conceivably be MORE inclined to watch the NFL.
Now people would rather do ANYTHING else but waste their time on Democrat political activism disguised as sports.
Too bad I don’t watch football. I would love to see the games taken over by the late-night huckster informercials.
Ha-ha, maybe that kneeling former QB will even get a job on tv!
“Buy one anti-american knee pad and get the second one free. Act now, this incredible offer won’t last forever”
I have come to notice that when a certain group dominates, that which it dominates crumbles into ruin. Go figure.
To go from where they were to where they are in so short a time takes an EPIC amount of arrogant stupidity.
How TIME didn’t name Commisioner Goodell their Person of the Decade is sad. He’s truly earned his infamy.
How about live streaming the next player salary negotiations so we can have a good laugh!!!
I refer to these happenings as a woke up call. The message in these woke up call is rarely, if ever, received and interpreted correctly.
How sad that these players will have to go back to the ghetto and either get shot or go on welfare. Their college education doesn’t mean anything since no one can use a football player for anything but a security guard. The security guards where I live don’t carry a gun – they can’t be trusted with one….and they’re mostly white, high school drop out, and no pot to piss in. Doesn’t matter really, most athletes end up bankrupt within 2 years of retiring or disabled.

Imagine a 100 sq ft apartment.
———————–
Imagine your pet cat and dog that went missing.
I use to clean apartments when I didn’t have 2 nickels to rub together. The worst apartments that I dreaded to clean were the people from Asia.
h/t Pete, “…they don’t buy…”
Yep. They loot it. Not much profit there.
Try to imagine the looks on players faces when their salary get cut by 2/3rds while the owner does a crotch-grabbing, leg-lifting, dog-peeing, End-Zone-humping, gang-sign flashing, Black Power fisting Voo-Doo-Dance in the end zone!
While at the same time companies are televising WOKE commercials so they, too, should see backlash (maybe). Watching Army/Navy game yesterday and was treated to the biggest bunch of BLM bullshit compliments of Vaseline. Unfortunately I don’t typically buy Vaseline products so I can’t boycott them. The ad was insulting.
NFL, I have heard of them, but can’t remember when they were relevant. Check with NBA and ESPN
If only everyone was locked down at home.
They would have no choice but to watch a bunch of whiney, hate America, mongoloid millionaires who can’t read at a 9th grade level to play a child’s game and act like running with the ball and catching the ball is the equivalent of marching in Selma circa 1965.
Fuck the NFL. Hope they go bankrupt. Hope all the “stars” go bankrupt. And after they’ve blown their fortunes on their shitty, stupid, ostentatious lifestyles, they can kneel on the dirty carpets of their cut-rate apartments and remember when they were solid gold and chose to piss it all away by saying “Fuck You” to their massive and once loyal customer base rather than shutting the fuck up and playing ball like they were paid to do.
I want to see them fall on those knees when they see the revised teeny tiny paycheck.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think the Shamwow guy is back in town. I think I saw him last week somewhere on the internet with a new ad campaign. He’s come back 15 years after being charged for smacking a hoo-er.
Now he’d be a great pitchman for the NFL. I’d tune in just to watch his antics, not the players. The players come & go, but the Shamwow guy could be long-term.
