Well another NFL season is here and some have taken the chance to spike the football on the NFL for its ratings fall owing to the NFL owners' support for Black Lives Matter (see: BLACK LYING MATTERS. BROADCAST MEDIA LYING TO AMERICANS. THERE IS NO EPIDEMIC OF BLACKS BEING KILLED BY COPS).
Far too many simply do not understand reality because they do not know how to measure things within reality. There has been much talk about how NFL owners have survived their backing of the racist, anti-white, anti-USA, pro-Marxist group, Black Live Matter. They point to Neilsen TV ratings and claim there has been no effect.
Such people simply do not understand how to measure reality. TV ratings taken alone, without context give a false rendering of reality.
Certainly the business executives advising NFL owners have it all wrong.
Since Colin Kaepernick (see: NFL #TAKEAKNEE #FIST PROTESTS: A LESSON IN FAILING AT PERSUASION), the half-white mongrel race ex-NFL quarterback started the anti-USA protests in the NFL by kneeling disrespectfully during the playing of the national anthem, the NFL has lost fans and popularity.
These graphs tell the story. When viewership is put into context, population, and population growth, it becomes clear that ever more US residents age 20-49 ignore the NFL and do not care for it as an entertainment decision.
Thursday Night Football has been hit hard. With streaming alternatives like Netflix and the abundance of sports streaming online, perhaps changing entertainment desires combined with the BLM protests have made it easier for ever more to tune out the NFL on Thursday nights.
Monday Night Football has been on the decline for awhile. Part of that is owing to streaming alternatives, no doubt. Also likely, with the advent of Sunday Night Football, Sunday night has become the showcase game for the NFL. Likely too, a revolving door of weak on air talent has not helped.
While it is premature to declare the NFL as a rapidly dying entertainment sport, it should be clear the NFL is ill.
As entertainment, the NFL has many problems. There are too many rules. The supposed athletes are too stupid to follow those rules and thus there are too many rules infractions. All of the rules infractions cause too many delays in the play. There is way too much stoppage. That makes every broadcast dull, uninteresting.
The broadcast partners have shoved way too many commercials into the broadcasts over the years. As such, they look for every excuse to break for commercial.
Not only does that wear on the viewer, but also, it is not a good deal for advertisers. Each additional ad added to broadcasts over the years has diminished the attentive power of all ads during a broadcast. As such, likely advertisers are paying way too much for ads.
No doubt NFL broadcast partners tout having nearly 20 million viewers in one go for a typical Sunday national game. Yet how many are glued to their TVs during the commercials. The greater frequency of commercials gives viewers more opportunities to pull away from their TV sets.
With or without supporting Black Lives Matter, the NFL will continue to lose viewers as the demographics of the U.S. population continue to change with a growing south Asian and east Asian population, a growing mestizo population, and a falling white population.
