#BoycottNFL Appears To Be Hurting NFL TV Ratings

>If the NFL wasn’t worried before it should be now. For the third consecutive week football’s television ratings have declined.

>No more excuses for the bad ratings. Billie Gold, vice president and director of programming research at Amplifi, the global buying arm of media company the Dentsu Aegis Network, said it’s the lack of big games and prominent names that has sacked the league the past two weeks.

>As my colleague Brandon Katz wrote: ”NBC’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears last night drew in 18.62 million viewers, scoring a 6.8/21 rating in the 18-49 demographic, the group most coveted by advertisers.

Shill plz.

it's a fake plant movement.

The NFL is fine

TV is dying.

Take your ant-football OBVIOUS shilling elsewhere.

Why is America so racist and intolerant?

LET HIM PLAY

This. Blame the nigger for people watching streams and not buying expensive ass cable.

because people from your side of the americas keep coming here and shitting up the place.

>Chicago plays and doesn't pull the ratings
>people act surprised people don't feel like watching shitty football teams

Guess the NFL is dying!

Exactly total bullshit. Kapernick is a fraud. Twitter movement is fake. Article is fake. Ratings are fake. (((They))) really hate football and masculinity in general. There have been shills on this board all week trying to start anti-football nonsense. NFL is more popular than ever. Fuck off.

Kelly should just let him stink it up until it's clear he's trash. He's bolting for college anyways, nothing to lose tBh.

>TV is dying.
Then why did last year's Super Bowl have record ratings?

#BoycottNFL is the controlled opposition to the phony Kapernick protests.

The same people are behind both.

Guess who.

(((ratings)))

Yes, but this years Super Bowl's ratings were down.

It's cause there's no star players anymore

millennials want it to die because they're broke as fuck and they can't afford a basic cable package so they want everything to be online and free.

How much longer am I going to have to see this overpaid benchwarmer's face?

>millennials want it to die
Nonsense. Millennials just watch it for free. NFL is even streaming some games on Twitter this year.


(((They))) just don't like that old media is dead, new media is decentralized, and they can't control the narrative anymore.

They're trying to get their claws into the NFL because it's maybe the most powerful media platform in the world, and they cant control it. It's really that simple.

dumb frogposter

i'm talking about people who say TV is dying.

Your shill game is weak. Fuck off and leave sports alone.

>eagles finally win super bowl with wentz
>only white people are watching

I'm very okay with this

FUCK the nfl
i'm a millenial, college educated, and don't give a flying fucking shit about your plastic commercialized "sport"
I root for my university team way harder than any fucking pathetic plastic trashcan franchise is in my state. Literally no one likes to watch your advertising gimmick of a sport. Just FUCK OFF and die.

That's why they should just bring back Brady

Of course it's dying. No one under 30 watches TV.

That's why live events are so valuable now. They're the only thing that garners eyeballs. That's why they dumped all that race baiting garbage onto the Oscars last year, and it's why they're trying to do it with the NFL now.

Except, unlike the Oscars they don't own and control the NFL. So they just attack 24/7 and try to bring it to heel.

Smarten up sports fan bros, this is only the beginning.

Nice blog post

>FUCK the nfl

360 degrees of SHILLING.

well you're wrong, i know a lot of people under 30 who watch tv including myself. maybe if all of you faggots got jobs you would realize that cable is one of the least expensive monthly bills you will be paying.

>football fan like me

The NFL has the oldest viewership of all major sports. It's practically the Fox News of the sporting world, and its viewers are dying out faster than they can make new ones.

Kids just don't care about the "home team" like their parents and grandparents do, either, especially when 90% of the game is ads. Cord cutting is happening for a reason.

I keep wondering why people keep looking at the boycott as the reason why NFL TV ratings are on decline. What evidence do you have that there is a causal relationship between them, and that it isn't correlational?

You still go to the record store to buy CDs too? FUCK OFF.

360 degrees of shilling is 4 real

>Shills setting up a fake debate

those things are incomparable, there isn't anything better than cable right now to watch television. i don't know why people think it's just going to disappear when it's such a crucial part of society and how people absorb information.

Stop trying to make "shilling" happen. It's not going to happen.

Nigga plz. TV is done. Everyone knows it, and the NFL sure as fuck knows it. FUCK OFF SHILL.

Oh, it's definitely happening.

>giving money to the jews who run the cable monoliths

You're a fucking cuck.

Fuck cable. The sooner Time Warner goes bankrupt the better. They are criminal

yeah people said the same thing about radio many years ago, and even to this day. but it still goes on, so long as television has sports and the news, it won't ever die. like i said get a job, it's not as expensive as you think.

>there isn't anything better than cable right now to watch television.

Well, this b8 does reek of underage, so you probably are a millenial, or Gen Z.

what do you have that you can turn on instantly after walking through the door to view hundreds of stations on a 50 inch screen?

>people actually defending a nigger

I had no idea Cred Forums was literally red it2.0

Don't forget Comcast.

and a few people still buy vinyl too.

except they're fringe markets with limited social impact.

of course they know this. hence kapernick. hence muh rascist redskins.hence muh CTE.
hence muh domestic violence epedemic.
hence muh hashtag campaigns, and hence your shitty ass job trying to stir up shit on Cred Forums


FUCK OFF SHILL

Is this the average Cred Forumstard?

Consider the case of OP's pic of a grossly overpaid bench warmer.
Not even Brazil would put up w/ his shit

A laptop hooked up to a flat screen.

again, incomparable. you are incredibly insecure if you think i'm trying to stir shit up. i've just seen a lot of people on here lately talking about how TV is dying and i simply don't understand their sentiments. and i get the feeling that they want it to die considering how often it is said.

Like you didn't make both posts. FUCK OFF SHILL

and how are you going to get those channels on a laptop? i'm not talking about youtube channels.

nigga you're not as smart as you think you are. FUCK OFF

If the NFL dies, then Cred Forums dies with it. This board is pretty much a wasteland when there aren't games on.

retard EVERYTHING is on the internet. Everyone here knows it, and you do too.

FUCK OFF SHILL

Blaine Gabbert sure is working out for the 49ers.

ah there it is. that's what you want to be the truth, since you are a millennial who can't afford anything. but it isn't the truth. you can't get an entire cable package on the internet for free.

Cred Forums died in 2013 anyways. There hasn't been a single meme to come from here since

The relentless Jewery is out of control.

If they don't smarten up and leave sports and movies alone they're going to start WW III

Kek. You must be 60.

Your shill game is weak schlomo.

>If they don't smarten up and leave sports and movies alone they're going to start WW III
They're DESPERATE to regain control over information and setting the narrative.

If Hillary wins get ready for a serious internet censorship campaign.

I live in Ohio so this is solidly Time Warner Big Black Cock Country

blazing fast 128 kbps peak speeds

i'm 26, and the amount i pay for cable each month is less than it costs me to keep my car full of gas.

This guy gets it.

sure you do

You even post like ad copy.

FUCK OFF SHILL

sure i do what?

You can tell the truth by the ads that run. 50% of the ads on ESPN are for Viagra and the AARP.

>60 posts
>20 unique IDs

This entire thread is one mega autists calling everyone shills.

that's one network, and the average age for sports viewers is around 50. watch a network that is targeted at your generation and you'll see ads for schools, cars, and electronics.

>No Brady
>No Peyton
>No Tebow

Can see why NFL's ratings are down. Make Donald Trump starting QB for the Cleveland Browns. He'll make Cleveland great again!

or 20 people some of who have posted more than once.


Does CTR pay for a dynamic IP?

Nice old man reaction image too. You're really getting a feel for the culture around here.

>everything is about race/racism now

some "melting pot" we have here......

>watch a network that is targeted at your generation
nigga plz. I'm old enough to remember when 50% of the commercials on ESPN where for beer and cars.

but those industries market in different ways now.

Because they're not fucking retards and know that the highly coveted 18-35 yo demographic doesn't watch tv.

you're just remembering wrong then, they've always had viagra and cialis commercials.

The fucked up thing was the NFL is actually a unifying element between races and classes.

And these dickhead bankers/globalists/Illuminati/elites/Jews (whatever you want to call them) are trying to destroy it.

They're fucking evil.

>they've always had viagra and cialis commercials.
Nigga plz. Viagra has only been around for like a decade. There used to be no pharmaceutical ads on TV period.

Fuck off with your disinformation campaign.

wow you are really young aren't you? no pharmaceutical ads? they've had those at least since the 90's based on what i can remember. either way, the sporting demographics have not changed, espn shows ads for old people because they're a 24 hour network and a significant amount of their viewers are retirees.

>bankers/globalists/Illuminati/elites
literally all of these things are jews

I'm old enough to remember NO pharmaceutical ads dickhead. You can't even get keepr own bullshit argument straight.

NFL: same shit, different week

And ESPN has made the NFL inescapable. It's all they talk about.

yeah i know, i was being polite

ESPN/Disney is the WORST offender of this attach a fake bullshit narative to the NFL media platform move.

They're fucking done. The NFL doesn't need them and will never do another deal with them when they current one expires, AND THEY KNOW IT.

This. Cutting the cord is a buzz-term of the wage slave poorfaggots. You dont have 120 bucks a month for FIOS?Then you're a fucking loser.

it doesn't matter, they've always had the same demographic. ED drugs haven't always been around like you said but that's the same reason why they haven't always been marketing them. because they didn't exist.

nigga plz. no one is paying for cable tv anymore. it's not even a debate. the war is over, your side lost, go home.

It's like $300 and they make you pay for a landline that you don't even use.

i think we've found an autism gold mine.

>My side
What the fuck are you talking about? I have cable so I can watch the Yankees and Devils, and I get a million other things to watch.$130/month is nothing to me because I don't work at fucking Target like you, loser. Stay poor, faggot.

Honest answer. Because they streamed it online for free. Which was a genius idea.

Lol my bill is 127/month for 100 up and down, and every sports channel except the mlb/nhl/NBA packages. But I root for local teams. You are obviously a teenager living at home and have no idea what shit costs.

Kek. You can pretty much name your own price with DirectTV now they're so desperate.

>and they can't control the narrative anymore.
that's what facebook is for

OMG!!!! Plz post link where we can get such an amazing deal!!!! It's like they're giving it away.

well it's pretty natural, football and the super bowl in particular have had incredible increases in attraction to the mainstream for a good five or ten years now. was only a matter of time before the hysteria calmed down and more casual viewers got bored after a couple years. 18 million viewers is hardly dying, just a the beginning of a slide back to relatively normal figures. I don't even like cuckegg

TV is objectively terrible compared to the Internet and even Netflix. Surprised it's taking so long to die

it's not going to ever die because unlike the internet you don't have to wait for it to buffer only to be five minutes behind what's actually happening, and unlike netflix it has live broadcasts.

what kind of shit internet do you have paco

>Manning retires
>Brady suspended
>ratings go down

ITS CAUSE OF KAEPERNICK HES ALIENATING THE COVETED FOXNEWS DEMOGRAPHIC

What kind of shit tier Internet do you have? Besides that it's only going to get faster especially. Live events are already starting to get streamed too, which is the only current advantage of tv.

because the NFL is boring as fuck when you're not watching your team.

>The same people are behind both.
>Guess who.
YEP.

The people behind Kapernick and the 'conservatives' behind #BoycottNFL are the same people.

>what are regional monopolies

no the current advantage of tv is having literally hundreds of stations that aren't broadcast ANYWHERE on the internet. and being able to just sit down and use a remote without having to hook up any outside devices. you guys are trying really, really hard to discredit something that is really, really good and i don't know why. oh wait, i do.

I think alot of casual people got bored of fantasy football combined with the fall of that daily fantasy thing.

maybe people are getting smarter and realizing the nfl is more of an ad revenue generator than a sports league. Also football is dying out

>broadcast ANYWHERE on the internet
like anyone needs to watch fucking American Pickers live or whatever.

So that's leaves live events ie award shows and sports.

I'm not gay or a women so I don't give a shit about award shows.

That leaves sports. I follow the NBA and NFL. NBA has league pass, so I don't need TV. That leaves the NFL.


and here we are.....

> Also football is dying out
If you keep saying it maybe it will become true.

I'll just leave this here:

youtu.be/fnbdvEllJ_E

typical selfish millennial can only think about what matters to himself. we're talking about an entire industry here, not you.

Nigger it's not about channels (the Internet has millions of websites comparable to them anyway) it's about programming and convenience. I guarantee that I can give you a link to any American TV series that you can watch at any time

and tv is convenient. you can sit on your couch instead of a computer chair for one, and before you say you can do that with a laptop people have coffee tables in their living rooms, and it's uncomfortable to use a laptop on one of those for extended periods of time. not only that but all you have to do is type in three numbers at the MOST, as opposed to an entire web address. and you have video on demand services and DVR . there is a REASON that poor people choose the internet over cable, and that reason is that the internet is not as good.

football is plebeian shit

millenials like their craft beer and their MLS

mexican invaders watch European soccer league

Basically it's your average wagecucck who likes the NFL, and since Saddam Hussein Osama is doing everything possible to get rid of jobs, there are fewer and fewer wage cucks these days

As for myself, I just watch curling and drink molson so I don't really give a hoot eh

P.S.? Did anyone else watch the Queen in Vancouver?

>and tv is convenient. you can sit on your couch instead of a computer chair for one,
Nigga are you serious? You can connect your laptop to a TV. You don't even need a wire.


How fucking old are you?

and do what? browse websites? that's not what television is for. televisions are for watching things. and why did you even buy a tv to hook your laptop up to in the first place if you don't even fucking have cable? you people sound utterly ridiculous.

You can even do it with a phone. This guy sounds like he's stuck in the stone age

lmao
(((((They)))) control the NFL

>and do what? browse websites?
>I guarantee that I can give you a link to any American TV series that you can watch at any time


this can't be real. my 60 year old mother knows this.

Ratings are down for pretty much every sport right now.

This has nothing to do with Kaepershit.

Nope. You didn't even read the post right Paco. (((They))) don't control the NFL, that's why he have to suffer through all this bullshit.

cool, but there's about 300 fucking channels that don't show series on them. i don't watch series. but i watch a lot of TV so obviously your understanding of TV is lacking.

huh? over 50% of NFL team owners are jews

are all you yanks that brickheaded

what is that you watch Schlomo? Enlighten us.

Yeah, who knew that DUDE PATRIOTS OR BRONCOS DEEP IN THE PLAYOFFS EVERY YEAR LMAO wasn't a good formula for consistent ratings

whatever is on that i want to watch. that's the beauty of TV, unlike the internet, it comes to me, i don't have to find anything.

What the fuck do you watch on TV then and why is watching it through the Internet at any time worse?

I'm personally not into the whole anti-Jew thing.

I mean yeah, there are a lot of Jews in media and banking. It's undeniable. But blaming the average Jew for their bullshit, is like blaming the average goy for Wal-mart.

That being said, the NFL makes a ton of money, and aren't under the heel of the old-guard media.

Just watch say ESPN's coverage of the NFL vs. the NFL networks coverage of the NFL. It's obvious.

theres so many different things on every night. and watching it on the internet would be worse because it's not anywhere on the internet.

nice try. can't even name one thing. Smh.

>theres so many different things on every night. and watching it on the internet would be worse because it's not anywhere on the internet.
No one on here is this stupid. take it to facebook.

I've actually watched very little NFL this season and it has nothing to do with KaeperGOAT, there's just been a lot of shitty boring games

because i don't watch one thing, i watch many things. there's always something different on every night. it's amazing to see you people trying this hard to discredit TV.

There have been shitty games, I would boycott the NFL too

>because i don't watch one thing, i watch many things.
name one

My ps4

i will not, because if that's all it takes to shut you up, then you have no argument. and you are pretending that you dont know what happens on TV just for the sake of arguing with me. this is sad to see, your generation is so hostile.

You must not be around when soccer games are on

you can't
is it possible this is just a retarded cable tv industry shill, instead of one of (((them)))?

Or are they just playing dumb to gather info?

there's no way that a game console offers the same amount of stations as a cable package.

literally turn on your tv, if you have one, and find a program that isn't a part of a series. voila. there's HUNDREDS of them, every single night. i bet you've still got that child mindset where every channel under cartoon network doesn't exist in your mind.

I'll be honest, once the NFL becomes all nig qbs like in college, I'll probably stop watching.

Surely he's killing himself over not getting the French techno channel. You realize most people had all of those 100s of channels at one point and decided it was inferior and waste of money compared to the Internet, right?

>Or are they just playing dumb to gather info?
no one is legitimately this stupid. It's impossible. He's playing dumb to gather info.

no, because i have both and i still need cable to keep up with all of my sports teams and when i want to relax without having to sit in a computer chair.

shill or troll, def not legit moron

gather info about WHAT? what the hell has been said in this thread that is so important? you are a paranoid little fuck. i get into arguments with you fucking autists every night before i have to go to sleep and i regret it every time. i don't know why i still come here.

>people stopped watching because of kaepernick

I'm sure it didn't help but I doubt that's the only reason why people are tuning out.

I pay 50 a month and get the sport channels and my local stations , i dont feel like i need anything more , wide variety of on demand too

well that's a cable package then, essentially. a game console alone doesn't have a monthly subscription fee so it sounded too good to be true.

>>people stopped watching because of kaepernick
>I'm sure it didn't help but I doubt that's the only reason why people are tuning out.
both fake arguments at the same time. 360 degrees of Jewery.

I'm not paying for tv, ever. And I'm not paying to watch commercials.

It sucks because I can't watch a lot of sports. Years ago you could watch your local teams on tv (college and pro). But that is no longer true for the most part...I do get to watch the Atl Falcons on Sundays.

Give me an 'a la carte' option and I might consider paying money. Otherwise cable can go fuck themselves.

I've been boycotting this shit sport for years

i really got a chuckle out of the tv shilling grandpa itt

This. Even this early in the season you can already see who is gonna be in the playoffs and probably Superbowl.

All the talent is on a few teams.

>(((Billie Gold)))

How the fuck is Cred Forums always right?

>Give me an 'a la carte' option and I might consider paying money. Otherwise cable can go fuck themselves.
If you can prove that you can't get a satellite dish (college dorm, renter whose land lord won't allow it etc.), you can now get NFL DirectTV Sunday Ticket a la carte.

It's weird how most people thought he was a inconsiderate jackass before he started kneeling, and now he's held as some honorable guy
Do people not remember #7tormsComing?

His supporters forgot that he was an inconsiderate swagfag until recently because it does not fit their narrative.

They started allowing the ads in 1997. IIRC, Viagra came out in 2000 or 2001.

If you're posting on Cred Forums you are more than capable of watching any sport for free that you want at any time of the day. Git gud.

>huh? over 50% of NFL team owners are jews

nope

8

1/4


a minority

>implying

Rating are down because anyone with half a brain can see that the primetime matchups so far have been almost exclusively between teams no one gives a shit about.

If white people hate blacks so much, why do they watch them play sports?

Theres no cable though

cucks

>he thinks racist crackers can't be entertained by people they hate

Remember the Gladiators my man.

Seems like they're scripting a Cowboys/Eagles rivalry in a desperate attempt to gain ratings.

>mfw Kaep will get to play once this year really well and shove it in the face of haters

>If you're posting on Cred Forums you are more than capable of watching any sport for free that you want at any time of the day.
You're correct, I can find a stream site. But the point is I *would* pay if the current options weren't so terrible.

Obviously there are folks who do pay for the current options. And they have no problems with the content they get.

He didn't look good in that last preseason game. He was still staring down receivers like a dip.

Hopefully he gets some land dragons.

Yeah but ratings literally dictate the amount of shekels the NFL gets. If the ratings drop, the price for a commercial drops

I can't wait for the day ESPN dies. They are nothing but a political network now.

If the NFL made it available for a reasonable price digitally, I would pay for it. As it is now, I watch NFL games on /r/nflstreams.

Not gonna pay for cable. Too bad, so sad.

wait this is a real hashtag? People are actually boycotting the nfl?
