  • Favorable ratings for the NFL have dropped from 57 per cent to 44 per cent from the end of August to the end of September
  • Meanwhile, the unfavorable rating for the league is the highest among any big sport - 40 per cent - according to the Winston Group survey
  • In August and September, baseball had the highest favorable rating than any other sport at 63 and 65 per cent
  • The National Anthem protest along with criticism from Trump has caused core fans, men aged 34-54, to turn their attention elsewhere
  • Donald Trump predicted on September 27 that the National Football League will 'go to hell' if they don't listen to his demand for a ban on protests
  • Some fans are protesting out of disgust of the protest started by Colin Kaepernick in response to police brutality against Black people, last year
  • Others are protesting because the player hasn't been signed to a team yet
As players, coaches and owners continue to protest during the the National Anthem, the NFL struggles to gripe with a new poll that shows that they are no longer America's favorite sport.

Favorable ratings for the NFL have dropped from 57 percent to 44 percent from the end of August to the end of September.

Meanwhile, the unfavorable rating for the league is the highest among any big sport - 40 percent - according to the Winston Group survey.

In August and September, baseball had the highest favorable rating than any other sport at 63 and 65 percent.

While the sport was already seeing lower TV ratings accompanied vacant seating in stadiums, the accompaniment of the National Anthem protest with outlandish criticism from Trump has caused core fans, men aged 34-54, to turn their attention elsewhere.

Among those fans, the favorable rating went from 73 to 42 percent and the unfavorable rating rose from 19 to 47 percent.

it's an odd situation where NFL is trying to please both sides and in the end both sides have turned away.

People who are offended by the flag issue are boycotting

and people who are offended by people offended by Kaepernick and not seeing him play are boycotting

now I'll tell you what I can guarantee the so called unpopularity is just cuz of the climate of what is going on and most of the people who are saying they don't like the NFL for these political reasons are still watching their team on Sunday. Everybody here is bullshytting that they are boycotting and people offended at the kneeling are still watching and playing fantasy football.

Everybody's panties are all in a bunch and this will pass the moment something bigger comes along to remind us it's just a fukking game
