and ratings will not dip that much. NFL teams play in big cities that are mostly liberal. They will keep watching.

The rural south isn't a huge supporter of the NFL anyway and this is where the protesting is the biggest issue.

In most NFL cities a big part of their following comes from the burbs.

I don't care too much either way, I'm just saying.

They dipped enough in 2016 to raise major concerns among the networks and sponsors.

Any further dip would exacerbate an already existing problem.

Nah. The four teams in the southeast are what is keeping the NFL afloat right now. Without the thousands of dollars they bring in, the NFL is done.

So you think liberals are the primary NFL fan base?

Look at Los Angeles, look at San Francisco.

Stadiums about as empty as possible.

They are biting the hands that feed them. You think we can't take their taxpayer funded subsidies away?

Agree. Same as how all the threats to boycott New Orleans over monument removal haven't done squat. Turns out to be just hot air from mouth breathers.

A lot of people like myself have been boycotting the NFL for years. Not so much out of any political conviction as the fact that they're selling a shitty product. And have been for some time.

Except for their rating continue to drop.

the averages of Sunday afternoon games on Fox and CBS are down 11% and 19% respectively, according to Nielsen data.

So is it the liberal hipsters or the liberals on welfare that are paying all that money to show up to the games?
