I think the NFL is understating the backlash from Kap supporters. They seem fixated on apologizing and trying to patch things up with their ultra patriotic Budweiser drinking cac viewers, but willfully ignore the mostly black viewers who see the black balling of Kap and the belittling of the protesters as a major slap in the face.

Add to the fact that the product on the field is absolute garbage. You have a too many shyt QBs that rely on two plays: the fukking 5 yard checkdown or the 10 yard pass interference call.

How many times have you seen an exciting play and a fukking flag pops up. It's to the point where QBs are fukking scared to even throw it down field 25 yards.

Inconsistency with penalties. Gronk throws an elbow at the back of the head of a down player and only gets a 1 game suspension, while JuJu gets 2 games for a hard hit? That shyt reeks of white privilege and folks are tired of it.

I live in Baltimore. Ravens fan since 96. These fans supported Ray Lewis during his trail, he had a statue on front of the stadium, and was treated like a deity here in Baltimore. But as soon as Ray showed a sliver of solidarity with protesters, these same fukking cacs who begged for his autograph, cried along with him the Ravens won it all in 2012, and would awkwardly do his dance at every home game and tailgate, these same fukking people wanted to bring his statue down and start calling him a murderer.

These cac fans are the ones who ruined it for me. I can't share the same passion for the NFL as they have knowing that see these people on the field as just a bunch of athletic ******s who should just shut up and play.

And the NFL is trying to win back these same fans?:hhh:

fukk them and the NFL.

I cut cable and now stream RedZone on Roku or find an alternative streaming online.

Overall people are cutting cable for streaming services and that's why ratings are down for all of TV.

NFL isn't changing shyt. they just got a $500 million a year online deal and their viewership for big games if further distancing itself from other TV shows.

Exactly.

It's the overall change in how folks watch "traditional media" yet its still the go to metric to determine who watches what. :heh:

The agendas.....
Basically.

Like, I wanna know what THESE numbers represent, since they never release them:

The NFL RedZone also might be a factor in taking fans away from watching the daytime games on CBS and FOX. The NFL Network and DirecTV, which air separate versions of the show that broadcast live look-ins, have never shared viewership numbers.

I mean, I don't even KNOW anyone personally who still watches games on TV and doesn't watch them on Red Zone. Even the BARS be showing RedZone on at least ONE of the TVs.
