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

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)

Irrespective of the nuances, Trump lied .. again. Egg on his bloated face .. again.

That there was a debate last year on week 3 is accounted for in the article .. but Trump need not consider facts or evidence. He's speaking to his braindead worshippers who only require his voice telling them what to think. He can just pull shit right out of his ass and into their heads.

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

If you happen to know someone that works for Wapo, have them wear a MAGA hat to work and watch how long it takes for them to get fired.....thats how the first amendment works for Conservatives......

Of course your "cognitive dissonance" won't allow that truth to happen to you
 
President Trump tweeted Tuesday morning that they NFL ratings "are way down." The numbers for the league's most recent games say otherwise.

The overall overnight ratings for the NFL's week 3 games were up 3% compared to the same week last year, according to Nielsen data.

That increase includes a "Monday Night Football" game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals that nabbed a 9.3 overnight rating for ESPN, up a whopping 63% over last year's New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons game, which brought in a 5.7. (To come up with overnight ratings, Nielsen takes the percentage of households watching in 56 U.S. markets and comes up with an overnight average -- so a 9.3 means that 9.3% of households in those 56 markets tuned into the game on ESPN on Monday night.)

Now, it should be noted that those numbers come with two major asterisks.

The first is that the Cowboys are arguably the most popular and watched team in the league, and almost any game featuring them is likely to do better than almost any other.

The second is that the overnight ratings for this week's Monday night game basically had to go up compared to last year's, which was competing with the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and as a result brought in the program's lowest viewership in at least the past 25 years.

Trump has been at war with the NFL over the past few days beginning with a firestorm he started on Friday night when he went after the league and attacked players who have been kneeling or sitting during the national anthem to draw attention to social justice issues.

On Tuesday morning, Trump tweeted that "Ratings for NFL football are way down except before game starts, when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected!"

If Trump was talking about NFL ratings generally, and not this week, he was at least partially right in two ways. The NFL's ratings have fallen over the past two years, though that has happened for a number of reasons not related to the anthem protests, and the overnight ratings for the pregame shows on Sunday were way up -- though that was likely more about people tuning in to see discussion about the issue than about watching the anthem ceremonies themselves.

Conservatives crying about oppression??? :0) That's so funny.

Your side hates everybody and engages in oppression, suppression, and voter disenfranchisement all the time.

I have about as much empathy for the republican plight as you guys have for all the people you hate.
