Yea I love how they are deflecting on the fact that this year it's a bad product being shown weekly and want to use the protest as the scapegoat so they can pass some legislation to prohibit protest in that fashion.
Shrewd move nfl
However, I have this feeling that if it was better teams, better match ups, better rivalries, bigger stars etc it wouldn't matter what the protest was, people would watch. Those checking "protest" as the reason are simply doing so because the option was avaliable for them. They are being guided to that answer.
For me, this is one of the 1st seasons where there is not 1 team I break my neck to make sure I'm front seat when they are on tv. Concussion took stars out the league, marshon lynch, megatron, gone, star qbs are just about void, aaron Rodgers about the last one and he playing bad this year, cam newton was close but he turned off his black audience wit the c00ning, Russell Wilson is not a star, where is the star running back lighting up the highlight reel? Where is the superstar qb to wide receiver tandem that makes you want to tune in? Rothlisberger and Antonio brown came close, but once again injury breaks that up.
What the Nfl needs is a superteam. A team everyone either loves or hate.
