Will they take a knee for all the deaths in St. Imagine that? Dolphins’ Robert Quinn even complained about how there’s not enough media coverage on their little “life is just so hard” protests. If anything, the only thing I found on the Internet was a Yahoo article about a Niners’ cheerleader kneeling. They didn’t show any players kneeling during any national anthem on t.v. Last time I checked, I don’t see any articles on ESPN, Bleacher Report, NFL, or ProFootballTalk about which player kneeled in which game during the national anthem.

It still happens fairly often and the nfl hasn’t done a thing about it except to buy players off so not as many do it. Lol at the claim that the “kneeling as stopped”. LOL at all the posters here that were going off on how the social protests were killing the NFL last year It will also continue to be the most popular television programming in the US and more popular than all the other major sports combined. The nfl ratings will continue to go up and down in the future. The level of popularity it had reached just wasn’t sustainable, just like players couldn’t have been expected to continue kneeling in the same numbers. The nfl has become so popular that it reached a saturation point and ratings suffered a decline last year. The “outrage” of the posters here that said they would never watch another NFL game (and never stopped) had nothing to do with it and kneeling had nothing to do with ratings. Does it happen less after 2 years of it first happening? Like everything else, of course. LOL at all the posters here that were going off on how the social protests were killing the NFL last year and are now scrambling to explain why they and everyone else are still watching. (Football also easily beats basketball on the college level the college basketball national championship game had 15.97 million viewers, while there were six college football games that had more than 16 million viewers.)Īll 50 of the most-watched events were football games or Olympics broadcasts.


The most-watched baseball game, Game 5 of the World Series, had 17.64 million viewers. The most-watched NBA game, Game 2 of the NBA Finals, had 18.47 million viewers. To give an indication of the gap between the NFL and the other major sporting events, the 40th most-watched NFL game, the Rams-Bears Sunday night game, had 19.39 million viewers. 10 was another NFL divisional playoff game. 9 was the Winter Olympics opening ceremony and No. 8 was the college football national championship game, No.

That includes the seven most-watched events of the year: The Super Bowl, the two conference championship games, two divisional playoff games, a wild card game and the annual Thanksgiving game in Dallas. Of the 50 most-watched sporting events in 2018, 40 were NFL games, according to Sports Media Watch. The NFL dominated the American sports television landscape in 2018.
