The NFL currently the least liked sport

[DiResta]

It's popping up on several news sights.
It also states that the "core" fans is down a whopping 31%........and the owners want to extend Goodell??

Forget about these "minor" details Roger, stick with what's really important to you like sticking it to Zeke Elliott on a made up charge.

Goodell is the owners puppet
without him this anger is placed on owners
they dont want that plus he does what they want like a good boy

I am convert for the USMNT and the USWNT............ "I Believe"

Maybe it is just patriotism but I watch all the World Cup games, the Qualifiers and the Gold Cup

The Women's team is awesome but the Men are making strides........ they have some really good young talent..... learn the name Christian Pulisic

No commercials or replays....... some bad calls and offsides but the game is not bad

Yup die hard USMNT fan here. I called pulisic a few years ago when he was playing with the U-17s. This new group of U-17 have a lot of potential too. Looked good in their opening math against India. We're one of the favorites for once, hopefully that correlates to the senior team.

McKennie and Hyndman will be senior team players in the next year or two.

For the record, concussions in soccer are as big of a problem as it is in football.
There are studies that show this.

This is true.

Stop visiting fringe sites...

That was debunked on snopes, and the ratings were up. There is zero evidence to support or back those claims up.

Snopes?!!!

 

[CowboyStar88]

Snopes?!!’ Lol

Go ahead and laugh but they at least research what’s posted. This topic was posted yesterday.

Rating are down across the board and have been for a couple seasons

However they are also up compared I read about 3% also that doesn’t take into account digital streaming either.

Also for instance I’m usually glued to the TV Sunday’s but I’m helping my girl with a dog adoption event, so I’m having to stream it

This isn’t good news.

Yes the NFL still gets high ratings week in and week out, but they are dropping. They don’t bring in the viewers they used to.

Garbage in garbage out. A right-wing, pro-Trump group does a poll and the results fall in line with the POTUS, who would have thunk it?

everything isn't politics ......... Reality listed a dozen reason ratings could be down

Streaming is the big lie for ratings deniers..... it still doesn't factor into the ratings.... they are a % of TVs in use and then extrapolated into total viewers

Maybe on the entire planet since most people prefer chasing a ball around on the floor (So primitive, wink wink,) but in America Foosball is still King...

I give it a few more years before they completely ruin our game, God help us...

Soccer is the international sport and with the dangers of football being exposed there won't be many parents letting their kids play. In the next 15-20 years soccer will be competing for the most popular sport in this country.

I agree. Countries literally shut down when their national team is playing. I just hope we are not so fanaticlas like other countries are. One of the best response I have ever heard a soccer fan say to a reporter was this: In 1994 when the US host the World Cup an American reporter asked a Brazilian soccer fan why they take this sport like it was a matter of life and death? His response "Life and death? Oh no it is more serious than that."

Kinda coming in on this discussion a little late, but What's been going on is off-putting at best. I've just had enough.

A very vocal minority

There are quite a few of these posted on the Cowboys website, under the multimedia tab, or whatever it is labeled.
Usually around 20 minutes, as no commercials.

Honestly, Jazz - if the commercials bother you that much, just DVR it and wait 15 minutes before the game starts and you skip over all of them. I don't understand the consternation with technology the way it is. With Netflix, Amazon Prime and DVR commercial television is almost a thing of the past with me.
