    I don't know if these were already posted. My apologies if they were. I wanted to post them in the event someone may have missed them and wanted to see them.

    Re: Trump's remarks about NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem

    Some polling data

    Americans like neither the protests during the anthem, nor President Donald Trump's comments on the matter.

    Views hinge on partisanship, but also shift with how Americans view the intentions, not just the actions, of the players and president.



    The linked article provides details on how this breaks down by various demographic groups and party affiliation.

    I cannot believe you're all still talking about this. LOL
    To all people that are claiming they are giving up the NFL. When you discover how sad and pathetic your life is without football.YOU'll BE BACK! I'm willing to bet the NFL has record viewing for this years Super Bowl.

    Not really. I think it’s kinda self explanatory if you have followed the story and know the details about what’s been happening and what the players are trying to accomplish. and frankly...kinda tired of talking about it. Who cares anymore...lol.

    Re: Trump's remarks about NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem

    I shake my head thinking about how we live in a country with over $20 trillion in debt with a dysfunctional congress that has no interest in fixing the country's numerous existing problems yet all people can talk about (including the President) are a bunch of football players not standing up for the national anthem. Complete lack of priorities. To think all this hype surrounding a boycott of the NFL for not standing for the national anthem completely overshadowed the fact that another effort to repeal Obamacare failed due to the Republican party's total lack of interest in doing anything other than disappoint their constituents. It's really sad.

    I hear ya man, it's freaking shameful. They get the House, Senate and White House and they do exactly nothing with it. They would rather continue with the Dividing of America Plan. They're all frauds, the whole lot of em'.

    I'm glad that someone else can see that the people whom are supposed to be representing us... DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT US! Look at these Anthem Protests. Shame Shame Shame. Yet they can't even get Hurricane disaster relief funding. Once again it's on the average american citizen to bail out his fellow citizen. Because these clowns don't give a damn.

    I'm not watching the Anthem broadcast anymore. They've taken a moment of National Pride and turned it into a side show. The media outlets should be ashamed of themselves!

    Not only that, the players are being used to stir up division. They are just to stupid and brainwashed to see it. These protests are taking place in taxpayer funded stadiums. The next team asking for funds to build a new stadium may be in for a bit of a surprise.

    Oh - you mean like when western Pennsylvania voters overwhelmingly voted down a referendum in 1997 on a tax increase to pay for PNC Park & Heinz Field and then an alternative deal was approved by the PA legislature without another referendum?

    Memories are short - the reach of $$ to buy political power is long - fans/voters are at least as susceptible to being manipulated by politicians as the players are

    Link to article on ratings with italicized excerpt from article

    Fox Sports had a regional NFL singleheader for Week 4 and with separate games involving the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots, it was able to garner high ratings. Fox averaged a 12.6 overnight for its regional action and it was up 19% from last year’s Week 4 singleheader which aired on CBS.

    Sports Media Watch notes that the 12.6 rating for Fox was the highest for NFL Week 4 regional window coverage since 2011, which had a 14.9....

    For NBC, its game involving the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks drew an 11.0 overnight rating. That’s flat from last year’s Chiefs-Steelers game, but still down from from 2015’s Cowboys-Saints game, which had a 14.8. Colts-Seahawks tied for the lowest-rated Week 4 game on Sunday Night Football since 2007.

    CBS drew a 10.8 overnight for the only game in the late afternoon national 4:25 p.m. ET window. That’s down 27% from last year’s national window, which aired on Fox and had the Cowboys-49ers as the featured game. CBS’s overnight rating was the lowest for a Week 4 national window dating back at least ten years.

    But CBS did get some good news for Week 4. The 1 p.m. ET window received an 8.1 overnight rating and that was up 9% from 2016’s 7.4 for the early games.

    So basically, it was all sound and fury signifying nothing.

    Good games involving teams with large national fan bases create large rating #'s.

    Crap games with teams having shallower fan bases create poor ratings #'s.

    Bread and circuses, man. Bread and circuses.

    Re: Trump's remarks about NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem

    VP Pence walked out of the 49ers-Colts game after some 49ers kneeled during the anthem

    Vice President Mike Pence says he left Sunday's 49ers-Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis because of protesting that took place during the national anthem.

    For the second week in a row, the 49ers had more than 20 players kneeling during the national anthem with their hands over their hearts. Teammates stood behind the kneeling players with one hand on a kneeling teammate's shoulder and the other over their hearts.

    The Colts wore black T-shirts with the words "We Will" on the front and "Stand for equality, justice, unity, respect, dialogue, opportunity" on the back for the second straight week.

    Pence knew players had been kneeling, yet he spends a lot of money to take in a game anyway, then leaves the game and publicly makes a statement about it. Sounds like a cheap way to make a political statement and appease the die-hard Trump supporters, all while this dog and pony show continues to make more and more headlines
