I was waiting for someone else to bring that up.

But any case, by Bama's way of reckoning, the SF QB will now be in military uniform and saluting smartly during the national anthem now that he's a starter.

Yep the market has topped out, That is why, going into today, 3 NFL games have had higher ratings than their comprable games last season.
All three were betwen teams that had no participants in the protest.
Can't wait to hear the what if's , maybes , and could bes that excuse this.

While you guys are at it explain why with the satureation of coverage college ball hasn't lost viewers?

Make up your fucking mind. It is you who said TV viewership is down.

You are the one who offered it was due to fan reaction to CK.

And btw stadium attendance has been flat since 2008. Google it.

Read.
A The NFL ratings are way down from last year.
B There are 3 individual games that buck this trend.
C All 3 games had two teams not participating in the protests.
D College ratings are holding even.
E Flat ratings are not the same as the huge rating drop we have seen this year.

On August 26 San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has a $110 million contract and is the adopted son of white parents, decided to make a statement by refusing to stand for the National Anthem before a game. He had done it twice before, but this time it was noticed by a sports journalist providing coverage and immediately went viral. Fans took to the internet to express their disgust with the move, with many posting videos of themselves burning his jersey.

Regardless, in every game since he's refused to stand and other players from teams around the country have joined him in protest. The NFL, as a place of business, has refused to set a policy requiring players to stand for the National Anthem. Other professional leagues like the NBA have this policy in place.

As a result, patriotic NFL fans have tuned out of the games and ratings are down by 14 percent among the key demographic of 18-49 year-olds. Networks are giving away ads to fill the gaps.

quote:

TV networks are giving away more commercial time this NFL season than a year ago to make up for one of the worst ratings declines in a decade, a rare sign of weakness for the biggest draw on television.

So far this NFL season, TV networks have missed their estimates by about 20 percent, requiring them to offer advertisers what the industry calls “make-goods,” according to one ad buyer who asked not to be identified discussing private information.

Laughably, NFL officials are refusing to acknowledge the real reason for the drop, which is obviously a blatant show of disrespect from Kaepernick and others toward the country, U.S. military and law enforcement...

The NFL could easily solve this problem by implementing a requirement to stand for the Anthem or be fined, it's very simple. Further, owners of teams can demand this rule in favor of patriotic fans over spoiled, ungrateful and disrespectful players.

"The San Francisco 49ers and Colin Kaepernick are working on restructuring his contract, and while the deal is not yet done, details continue to leak out. USA Today NFL writer Tom Pelissero is reporting the deal would add $1 million in playing time incentives, and convert his $2 million in per-game roster bonuses to guaranteed salary. Pelissero also confirmed the deal would give Kaepernick a chance to become a free agent next offseason.

Kaepernick’s original contract included $2 million in roster bonuses each season. The 49ers do that in most of their big deals as it can help offset against a major injury. In this case, Kaepernick gets paid $125,000 for each game in which he is on the active roster. Whether he plays or remains the backup, he was going to earn those so long as he remained healthy."

You also forget that until you unsubscribe and stop posting anything, you are the stupidest MF on collarchat.

Your whole supposition about CK was that his only motive in kneeling during the anthem was playing status.

Not surprising, since your only motive for opening your mouth is to stuff a double cheese double bacon double patty cheeseburger into it or to post on a forum.
