re: NFL Ratings Continue to Rise (updated)

I'm saying what I said. When the players were kneeling and the networks were hyping it, the ratings went down. Now that few are kneeling and nobody is covering it, the ratings are on an upswing. It's pretty consistent on the fans' part. They can think how they want and kneel on their own time, not company time.

The NFL crossed the 30 million threshold on Thanksgiving.
Thursday’s Washington-Dallas NFL Thanksgiving special earned a 12.5 rating and 30.5 million viewers on FOX, per Nielsen fast-nationals — up 13% in ratings and 16% in viewership from last year, but down 14% and 13% respectively from the same matchup in 2016 (14.5, 35.1M).
Dallas’ win, which peaked with 32.7 million from 7-7:15 PM ET, delivered the largest NFL audience of the season, pending final results. Prior to Thanksgiving, the high water mark was 23.7 million for Packers-Patriots on NBC in Week 9.
Overall, it was the most-watched regular season window since the 2016 Washington-Dallas Thanksgiving game.
Excluding the NFL playoffs, it also delivered the largest television audience of 2018. It ranks ahead of the Alabama-Georgia college football national championship (28.4M) and the Academy Awards (26.6M).

Four NFL games on four networks over last four days up +24% collectively in overnight ratings vs same games last year (MNF and the three Thanksgiving games).

Look at the whole picture here.

Basically the moral of the story is that if you have a problem with players kneeling, that doesn’t really matter to anyone on earth.

Definitely surprising that it's down that much from 2016.

Cowboys were 13-3 that year, but that’s a big drop.

If you don’t like it, it doesn’t matter.

Ok, they were fine with the ratings drop.

It helps that MNF was a pair of high scoring teams that were both tied for the best record in the league. And that one of the Thanksgiving games featured the league’s other one loss team against their arch rival. I’m sure the anthem protests no longer being a story somewhat help too

It’s a bunch of people virtue-signaling and pretending to be offended, and those people exist, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it except let them run out of gas. The NFL knows that it has a great game that makes a lot of money and that a bunch of skyscreamers pretending to be mad at players kneeling won’t ruin their lives.
Ok, they were fine with the ratings drop.
