Monday Night Football ratings up for the season, way up for Week 3

The Force is With Me
Last night’s Cowboys-Cardinals game was easily the most-watched Monday night game of the season so far, and through four games Monday Night Football ratings are up over last season.

Cowboys-Cardinals got a 9.3 overnight rating for ESPN, easily the highest-rated Monday night game of the year. That came despite some talk that the controversy surrounding players kneeling during the national anthem would depress NFL ratings.

The 9.3 overnight rating is way up from last year’s Week Three Monday night game, although last year’s game was played at the same time as a presidential debate, so the Week Three 2017 vs. Week Three 2016 comparison is flawed.

A better measurement is that the four Monday Night Football games so far this season have averaged a 7.8 overnight rating, compared to a 6.5 overnight rating for the first four Monday Night Football games last season. And even if you throw out the game that went up against the debate last year, Monday Night Football is up year to date over the 2016 average.

For the weekend as a whole, ESPN and CBS were up, NBC and FOX were down, and on aggregate ratings across the NFL were up about 3 percent from Week Three last year. So there’s no reason to believe that the national anthem controversy hurt the NFL in the ratings department.

Wait a minute, the conservatives below told me it was history, sponsers were leaving, fans were burning their tickets, nobody was going to watch it, so how did ratings increase?

Give it time, anchovies. Maybe it needs more than day or two to produce any results, like Mueller's predicted indictments. :rofl2:
 
Oh, my. I guess ol' granpa forgot to consider this:

NFL TV Ratings Improve Overall in Week 3 After Boost from Monday Night Football

We have never seen a week where more people were interested in NFL television viewership.

You can thank President Donald Trump for that.

Ratings Actually Improved During NFL's Tumultuous Week 3

Quite honestly, I have some very conservative friends who are also football freaks, I mean fans. Nothing a few footballers do or say will stop them watching football every weekend with drinks and food. When I was on the mainland, trust me, nothing short of the apocalypse will stop their Sunday morning/afternoon football gathering.

Or the President saying Obamacare was gone day one? Or a Wall was going up and Mexico was going to pay for it? Or he had a secret plan that was going to take the oil from ISIS? Or renegotiate the Iran deal? Or pull out of NAFTA? Or enact term limits? Or initiate an infrastructure fund? Or not have the time to play golf when he became President? Or label China a currency manipulator? Or, should I go on, there's dozens more?

These things take time, anchovies. Like Mueller's predicted indictments, apparently. :rofl2:

Trump already accomplished the only thing I expected, wanted and needed, and he did it last November.

Guess what it was, anchovies.
 
Trump fumbles 1st Amendment football

Someone, please find Donald Trump a copy of the Constitution — preferably a simplified version with pictures and charts.* Once he absorbs what it says, perhaps he will stop trying to tear it apart.

Trump is angry at athletes for exercising their right to speech; but his anger did not begin there. Last February, at a campaign rally in Texas, Donald Trump spoke of "open(ing) up libel laws."*He never explained exactly what he meant but clearly is fed up with the First Amendment, which prohibits denying freedom of speech and the press.

Athletes and journalists are not his only targets. Last November, Trump suggested imprisoning people or revoking their citizenship if they burned an American flag. Never mind that the Supreme Court has already come down on the other side of that issue. “If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable ...*The way to preserve the flag's special role is not to punish those who feel differently about these matters. It is to persuade them that they are wrong,” wrote Justice William Brennan in his majority opinion in 1989. The following year, the Court rejected a federal “flag protection” act, declaring, “Punishing desecration of the flag dilutes the very freedom that makes this emblem so revered, and worth revering.”

Before last weekend’s game, both the Seahawks and Titans decided not to take the field for the national anthem. Both teams offered statements explaining their decision. “We unite to oppose those that would deny our most basic freedoms," said the Seahawks. “Our commitment to the military and our community is resolute and the absence of our team for the national anthem shouldn't be misconstrued as unpatriotic,” explained the Titans.

The two sports teams — and many others who have joined them in protest understand the essence and obligations of American citizenship better than the nation’s president. Too bad Trump is attacking them instead of learning from them.

What an ignorant clown this dude is .. with ignorant worshippers to boot.
 
Run Run RUN away you dumb ass Trumpettes.

What's left? Republicans can't get shit passed among themselves .. everything Trump claims is a lie .. and you assholes lap that shit up like its tasty.

NFL way down .. No Trump .., you are. :0)
 
Two weeks ago you had people threatening to boycott the NFL because players weren't standing for the flag and Kaepernick didn't have a job. Thanks to Trump the unifier NFL ratings are back up again. Maybe he really does care about the league.

(one week is only one week, this will take some time to really shake out)

Ok. His actions caused them to go up this week (although last year's Monday night at this time went against a Presidential debate so that could account for some of the difference and the fact the Cowgirls were playing)

Do you agree with Kaepernick's protest against racial injustices and police brutality against Blacks?

Ask cawacky if he is against Kaepernick's protest against racial injustice and police brutality against Blacks.

He seems to always defend the right but puts people on ignore when they call him a racist.
