You people claiming that Trump is wrong are delusional, as usual

The NFL’s ratings are sliding. They were down 15 percent in week two, and at this time last year, they were already off by 8 percent from 2015. The ratings slide isn’t just consistent — in some weeks, it’s accelerating. And though there are weeks when the reasons for a decrease are obvious (as when the arrival of Hurricane Irma affected this year’s week one ratings, as you can see on the Sports Media Watch chart), there isn’t an ongoing major news story like the presidential election, which was cited as one source of the 2016 ratings decline.
Whatever is happening seems likely to keep happening. So why are NFL ratings sliding, when they were once considered the single greatest bulwark against the ratings decline across television?
