He isn't making the point that viewership is up - he is making the point that all the talks of people abandoning watching football are overblown and that the majority of people are continuing to watch.

Citing one single game certainly falls short of making that "point". Especially when most other primetime games tanked.

Wow.

Surprised ratings were that high since I know of 11 guys in this forum alone REFUSED to watch.

Imagine how much better those ratings would have been if those 11 guys watched?

heh

I guess a few people are still watching football after all .

the face of the nfl changed teams after like 2 decades and he was playing super bowl contenders and a very popular team.

really not that surprising. Numbers probably through the roof even higher without all the garbage.

Next do Thursday night football

Then do Sunday night football

Or just assume one game on fox means viewership is way up

Stick to your illegal correlated parleys bro

A 1 game sample size where the general public would be remarkably more interested in it due to the circumstances of the players/teams themselves doesn't prove that though.

It's like comparing last year's Lions vs Jaguars game to this year's Bucs vs Saints with Tom Brady and then making a determination as to what's happening with the ratings league wide.

We don't know what a non-Covid-19 Bucs/Saints and non-social justice obsessed game would have been in the ratings. So we really are never going to know the answer here.

We'll see what the ratings look like in a few weeks, league wide.

Keep in mind, the Sports Bars and places like that have never been closed as they are now. So don't expect the ratings to be near what they were.

Boycott is working splendidly

There is no organized boycott, do you ever get anything right?

How does one become so uninformed?

There are people tuning out, that's undeniable, because every action causes a reaction

Nationwide organized boycott? Nope, that's a liberal thing to silence voices that have a different opinion

brilliant stuff from Chop insisting that the most well-know football player (considered to be greatest qb of all time) in the past 20 years having his 1st game in a non-Pats jersey means the NFL hasn't lost a step in the ratings cause people tuned into that one....

and NFL purposely stacked week 1 with divisional games to generate interest with 9 of them (most in a week 1 since 1998) ... yeah it didn't work unless Tom Brady gets traded today and plays for a new team on Sunday

let's take a look at what really happened in week 1 of the NFL's season of social justice:

TNF: down 12% from 2019 featuring MVP of league and SB champs
SNF: down 16% from 2019 with America's team and the 2019 NFC SB rep
MNF early game: down 21% from 2019 with USA's largest TV market vs one of their most popular teams
MNF late game: down 38% from 2019


https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nf...k-1-doubleheader-ratings-way-down/ar-BB194yuJ

perhaps his buddy X-files can produce a study linking his rona to losing double-digit IQ points? ignorant WHO DAT twat

[FONT=&quot]This started with a dramatic decrease in viewership for the Kansas City Chiefs’ home opener against the Houston Texans last Thursday. The backdrop to that game was the limited number of fans on hand at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri booing the teams’ social stances during the national anthem. It did not stop from there.[/FONT]
[h=2]NFL Week 1 ratings in decline, culminating on 'Monday Night Football' [/h][FONT=&quot]According to ShowBuzz Daily, the doubleheader on Monday night represented a major downtick in viewership from the same time slots a season ago.[/FONT]

  • Steelers at Giants: This game drew 10.8 million viewers on ESPN, down 21% from the early game opener during Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season
  • Titans at Broncos: Drew 7.7 million viewers, down a whopping 38% from the late game last year.
[FONT=&quot]These are just some startling numbers right here. They are also a continuation of a trend around the NFL world thus far on the young season.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This comes after the “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Rams in Los Angeles saw a drop of 16.1% from last season’s opener. America’s Team being unable to draw 15 million viewers during a global pandemic in which people are at home more often than in the past can’t be seen as great news for the NFL.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The “Monday Night Football” doubleheader is also interesting in that it included one of the two teams in the nation’s largest media market (New York Giants) opening things up against one of the NFL's most popular teams in the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Did you get down your 16 team Phil Mickelson Illegal correlated parlay for the US Open RT?


And your reading comprehension is non existent .
But I would not expect anything less from someone like you.

The erroneous point that Chop, JStack, and others are trying to make in this thread is this:
The "boycotters'" convictions must not really be that strong; it's easy to tune out for a shitty Titans/Broncos game, but look, they couldn't stay away from the prime draw of the week! So no one really stood by their convictions when the rubber met the road.

It just shows a fundamental inability to think critically.

Making these #s up...but...let's say last year there were 50M potential NFL viewers for any given primetime game. Maybe a "normal" ratings game draws 20% of those viewers (10M), and a "huge" ratings game draws 40% of those viewers (20M).

Now let's say 20% of NFL's fan base has boycotted. Now there are 40M potential NFL viewers for any given game. Now a typical game draws 8M and a huge game draws 16M. That does not mean you can't still get a 20M viewer game if the interest level among the remaining fans is really high. Like, say, Tom Brady making his debut for another team. Intellectually dishonest to point to this game as evidence that the denominator hasn't changed. Like Javy said, we don't have a true pre-SJW/BLM equivalent to compare it to, so really we'll never know.

But every single indication is that the denominator has shrunk.

(side note I am not boycotting football)
