Ahh, so if something is black dominated its because the best person got the job

But in white dominated fields, TH03 sees a glaring problem

So, you think "salute to service" was a "political message" and that this stuff is somehow the flip side of that?

Comparing service member to a group of rioters is just pathetic even for you.

I just did a quick exercise, I googled NFL ratings down 2016, then replaced the year every time up to this year. Every year was declining. I'm not saying social justice stuff doesn't have anything to do with it this season but this idea of ratings declining is nothing new, and the rate of decline isn't significantly greater than it was the other years.



Does ratings include people who watch through streaming services?

In other words, if I have Hulu or Youtube TV and that's where I consume my sports, is that included in the ratings numbers?

For some reason, I thought I read something that explains why sports ratings are down and it had to do with streaming or something.

Either way, even though ratings were down for last night's Sunday night game.. It still had over 15M people watching.

Just to give you a comparison, Big Brother, which seems to be a popular show hit a season high last week with 4.4 million people watching..

The NFL still dominates. Between fantasy football and people betting on games, that alone gives the NFL a pretty good cushion.

Why is this the case for sports, but not everywhere else?

Did you stop supporting the Church when all the stuff about priests and pedophiles came out? Do you still celebrate Christmas?

A lot of virtue signalers in here complaining about people boycotting the NFL need to relax. Millions of less people watching football does not impact y’all. Don’t worry about it, calm down. Nobody is banning football, it’s just people no longer watching it.

Sports are too important to have diversity requirements man. We'll just do that to our other businesses

Yes. Christmas isn't catholic. Christmas isn't even christian, it's pagan.

Sinners do not have denominations. Why are you still supporting golf with communists on the PGA tour?

Well, they were Catholic priests and I am not Catholic. Therefore, I do not support the Catholic Church.

Yeah the PGA tour has communists on it. Why would you support a sport that openly allows communists. You buying clubs and balls and greens fees goes to supporting communism.

They actually have a PGA tour china too.

By default you support communism.
