The NFL's Ratings Are Falling Even As They Are Renegotiating Their TV Deals

The ratings from NBC's Sunday night game fell 16.1% from the ratings of the first 2019 Sunday game (and that game's ratings had fallen from the year before, too).

Now the ratings for the Monday night games falls 17.2%.

ESPN's first outing of the 2020 National Football League featuring the New York Giants hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers attracted an average of 10.76 million viewers on Monday night the network announced, down 17.2% from last year's first Monday night game.

That's just the drop for the first game.

What was the drop for the second game?

Well, CNBC doesn't want to tell you. They're going to make you work out the math.

The second game between the Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos registered 7.6 million viewers as the Titans won, 16-14.

The viewership was down from last year’s average of 13 million viewers for the first game in the Monday Night Football doubleheader that featured the Houston Texans and New Orleans Saints.

That's a drop of 43%.

Forty. Three. Percent.

ESPN looks for something to brag about -- and it's sad what they try to brag about.

Monday's first game was between two of the most-watched teams in football: The Giants, which play in the huge NYC market, and the Steelers, which don't have a huge market but they have a large following because they're in the f#cking AFC championship game like once every two years.

Seriously: When do the Steelers not make the playoffs? Almost never.

Now, ESPN does admit that Giants-Steelers game was down from the 2019 opener. But they say that at least the ratings were better than the 2018 opener.

The problem with that is that the 2018 opener featured two teams which are perennial losers and who have almost no following outside their metro areas, the Jets and the Lions.

The audience for the Steelers' victory surpassed ESPN's audience for the 2018 MNF doubleheader opening game between the New York Jets and Detroit Lions (10.4 million viewers)...

So ESPN is bragging that a game between the Giants and Steelers just barely edged a stinker between the Jets and the Lions.

BTW, I know the Giants are terrible recently but they do manage an occasional ass-pull Super Bowl win to keep their long-suffering fans just satisfied enough to keep them tuning in for more humiliation.

Now, about those contract renegotiations with the networks: the Observer notes that literally billions are at stake. That is, the NFL may have to settle for a contract that is billions shy of what they were hoping for.

Get woke...

What we do know for certain is that the NFL and broadcast networks are in the process of renegotiating their media deals, the majority of which will expire after the 2022 season. The league is hoping to double their fees and as the most powerful annual driver of live-viewership, they hold the leverage. But the broadcast networks will use any and all ratings declines to bolster their negotiating power.

The NFL wants to double its fees as it loses viewers almost every year?

Well good luck with that, Idiots.

Update: Speaking of the Detroit Lions, Clyde Shelton notes that Matthew Stafford is now full BLM/antifa:

Matthew Stafford goes full SJW.

18 "Police brutality, white privilege, racism -- it's all real." Actually, I agree, just not in the way they formulate it. Police brutality exists, but not in any of these BLM cases. And white privilege and racism are front and center of every story about lilly white leftists going into minority communities and mercilessly burning, looting, beating and killing while screaming racist expletives.

So yes, Stafford, it's real, but you miss the mark. There is no I in team, but there is a u in shut the fuck up.

Well, then Mr. Stafford. If what you say is true, your participating in the NFL is perpetuating the oppression of your own people. For you to continue to take a paycheck is an insult to black Americans.

Quit now. And give all your money to charity.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at September 18, 2020 05:45 PM (s2VJv)

27 I think it's the Steelers where the players were told to put someone's name on their helmets. They did and then found out the person whom they were honoring was involved in a drive by shooting.

Needless to say, the players are not best pleased at all of this, what with the players being put in a position of either doing what the team and the NFL demands or having to answer the soooo about that killer that you are honoring.

There are at least cracks appearing in the wall of BLM is awesome.

OK, CTE morons, take another couple dozen hits to the noggin every week.

As for Stafford, yes, racism is real, and it largely comes from BLM and the woke/Critical Race brigades nowadays. White privilege is apparently the privilege to get castigated and discriminated against because you are white, and police brutality mostly happens to blacks who charge at police with weapons drawn and readied.

But other than that, you are spot on, chief! Keep up the winning!!!

75 Someguy, I used to work at typing up consumer bankruptcy petitions.

I had to type a few where the petitioners owned a business with employees. Every employee was listed as a creditor, and wage claims are considered unsecured debts.

Result: all the employees got was a letter stating, your bosses have declared bankruptcy and are therefore unable to pay you anything, the end.

(Sure, there were also trustee hearings but they're the very definition of rubber-stamping.)

We talked about it earlier in the week, but one team last weekend (Steelers?) voted to put the name of a 17 year old who was shot by police after committing a drive by. Antwon somebody. Witnesses to his attempted murder, gunpowder residue on his hands after his murder attempt, and his just-fired pistol under the seat in the car he fled when pulled over after trying to murder people. The cops were acquitted on all charges in 4 days, with blacks on the jury.

100% criminal. 100% horrible, worthless piece of sh*t criminal.

And they celebrated him.

Well, then Mr. Stafford. If what you say is true, your participating in the NFL is perpetuating the oppression of your own people. For you to continue to take a paycheck is an insult to black Americans.

Quit now. And give all your money to charity.

His display of white privilege is truly outrageous in that he presumes, as QB, to lead an offense of mostly black players.

102 The Steelers are a total cluster right now and have been for some time. Do a search on Alejandro Villenueva , Maurkice Pouncey.

The Steelers have tried so hard to be woke for so many years and I guess they keep stepping on a rake. This is the second time the soldier, veteran, and patriot Villeneuva has bucked his team to support soldiers who have passed.

But Pouncey also broke ranks and I think he is the team captain. Again, the Steelers are a train wreck at least when it comes to posturing. It is funny because I would bet most of their fans would ask them to simply stop.

The Cowboys had bad ratings on Sunday and that is a huge deal. The Cowboys are as close to a guaranteed ratings victory as you can get in professional sports. But even though only one Cowboy has knelt in the three years or so since this started, the entire NFL is being drug down by their own devices. The Cowboys are not immune as they are one of the key NFL franchises and the NFL has decided that taking one radical side is the way to go. OK, and enjoy the losses friends, and I don't mean on the field.

111 If the slow burning decline continues into the coming weeks, there are going to be serious problems when the TV revenues collapse - and then so do salary caps and the players get a shocking wake-up call when they don't get nearly the cash they did last year.

They'll have few to blame but themselves, but the bitching if this happens oughta be epic. As far as I know, the NFL salary cap is tied to revenues. if those go down (unthinkable) then so will the cap - and the contracts.

I'll look forward to hearing from players and the NFLPA how it is total bullshit that there are no record-setting contracts and how they've played this dangerous game to finally get paid and then the payout is markedly smaller than expected. It'll be great.

It is such a huge time suck. Once you see that, you can't un-see it.

I realized this years back before the NFL was even all that woke. I just remember the Giants blowing a huge lead and losing to the Vikings, and I felt bad.

I wondered: Wait, why am I committing 4 1/2 hours of free time every week to feeling bad?

And what do I get when I "win"? Nothing. I'm rooting for spoiled brat millionaire jocks to have even better lives and higher-quality women than they have now.

That's my payout if "I" win -- 24 year old millionaires get to sleep with a higher class of model.

Once I realized that, the whole idea of rooting for strangers who wouldn't piss on my face if my nose was on fire seemed... well, absurd and childish.

Jones famously said a few years ago, if you kneel you are off the team. Obviously that has changed. They are all in this together. Look what the NFL itself puts out on twitter and commercials. No team is above it, it is the decision they have made.

214 Pittsburgh was the team that put on their helmets the name of a local thug who'd been shot by cops after participating in at least two drive-by shootings on the night he was killed by a cop. Thug, whose name was Antwon Rose, was stopped by a cop in his bullet-riddled car, shortly after one of the drive-by shootings. As cop was cuffing the driver, Rose and second thug from the car ran off, and cop shot Rose. Rose had an empty 9mm magazine in his pocket. His 9mm gun (which he'd stolen from his employer in an armed robbery earlier that day, according to evidence the cop's lawyer tried to present at trial) was found under the passenger seat of the car (where Rose had been sitting) and it had Rose's DNA on it.

The cop didn't know Rose's gun was still in the car when he shot Rose. For all the out-numbered cop knew, Rose and his fellow thug were running for cover nearby, from which they'd turn and shoot cop. The cop was charged with homicide for shooting Rose. A jury, which included three blacks, acquitted the cop of all charges.

In any event, there was no question that Rose was some innocent kid. He was a thug, willingly participating in multiple violent crimes, and he's yet another dead thug who would be alive today if he had just complied with the cop's orders.

Yet this was the black "victim" that the millionaire Pittsburgh Steelers chose to honor on their helmets. And then these assholes wonder why they're alienating their audience (and the people who buy all their over-priced, made-in-China merchandise).

The NFL can't die soon enough.

You'd only do it maybe once in a game, to let the D-line rack up your QB. Then some other members of the O-line (or maybe a back) can "miss" a block and get the QB racked up again.

A couple of three or four of those in a game wouldn't look all that out of the ordinary, and yet the QB would probably end up clocking some serious whirlpool time.

There was an article on Powerline this morning about how some of the other players were embarrassed after they started getting some blow-back for honoring a thug like Rose.

The center, Pouncey, said he didn't have enough information about who Rose was, and that he should have done more research on him before agreeing to wear his name. A safety, Fitzpatrick, blamed the team's "management" for the decision to honor the thug Rose.

So that's their story now. They didn't bother to find out who this Rose guy was before they decided he was a "victim" of raaaaacist cops and put his name on their helmets. It's all "management's" fault!

Look, it's America. Anyone can do anything they want. But it's also perfectly reasonable for people to disapprove of what others do, even harshly. Players can kneel, and I can think less of them for it. Commenters can watch the kneelers (and thereby support them financially), and I can think less of them for it.

As I say, people can do whatever they want. But this weird notion that they should be able to do so judgment-free is nonsense.

388 International rugby matches are a great alternative to the NFL. You can get streaming packages. More action in 80 minutes than an NFL game in 3 hours. NFL games only have 12 to 15 minutes of actual action. Rugby games go about 45 minutes of the 80. Limited substitution. Everyone gets their jersey dirty,

Once you learn the rugby offside rule, it's easy to follow. You can be on the wrong side of the ball, but can't do anything affirmative until you get back on your team's side of the ball.

I read last week that they put out a special Kaepernick / BLM uniform out for sale, and it is already sold out.


The sickness is deep.

396 "The league is hoping to double their fees"

The business that pays even its weakest players what the CEO of a small corporation makes. The business that charges like $100 to sit in the cold and watch a game. That makes money hand over fist with "licensing" merchandise (that it doesn't even produce - it just lets you who do make it put their cool pictures on it). And they want to DOUBLE the fees they get from broadcasters.

Yes, Americans have more money than brains, when they're giving it to these rich, ungrateful, criminal bastards.

The thing is, it isn't even a sport that's _hard_. It's not like the rules require you to whack a 80-100mph ball with a small stick. Or just control the ball with nothing but your feet and head. No, you can just pick up the ball and _RUN_ with it. Heck, _rugby_ does that, and without all the sissy gear. Pfft.
(Yes, you can throw it. But you don't *have* to.)

I have a masters degree. I ran CIA and NSA.

398 But he was in the Military, and Rose was a victim of police violence. These are different things."
_______________

"A victim of police violence"? Are they kidding? Rose was no victim. And that cop who shot him was just doing his job. He was on the street, in a neighborhood full of violent thugs like Rose, and he was out-numbered and trying to keep from being killed himself.

That's why the cop's jury, which included three blacks, voted to acquit the cop of all charges.

There are legitimate victims of overzealous and/or inept cops (e.g. Justine Damond, Breonna Taylor) but Antwon Rose was not one of those victims.

400 International rugby matches are a great alternative to the NFL. You can get streaming packages. More action in 80 minutes than an NFL game in 3 hours. NFL games only have 12 to 15 minutes of actual action. Rugby games go about 45 minutes of the 80. Limited substitution. Everyone gets their jersey dirty,

Once you learn the rugby offside rule, it's easy to follow. You can be on the wrong side of the ball, but can't do anything affirmative until you get back on your team's side of the ball.

401 FYI, the English Premier league (soccer) ditched BLM after the black players spoke out against their Marxist racist BS.

402 Oh yeah and there is a photo out there of a bunch of Dallas Cowboys kneeling along with the owner Jerry Jones.

Felt like I was kicked in the Gut the day I saw that.

Yep. Two teams usually ranked #1 and #2 in the world.

Me too.
Keep it off the field.

FFS, I don't want to think about cancer when I'm watching a ballgame.

406 101 They don't care - within the next 3 years they'll have an international division and within the next 7 years move their operations to Europe (China for the NBA). Figure it out - it's been in the plans for 10+ years. Fans are dopes

Best not take the long view around here. Some dawg will be along to knee-Kapernick you.

408 NFL and pro sports in general, and all the associated stuff - merchandise and sports bare - have the closest thing to a license to steal that I can think of. Trial lawyers maybe.

Anyhoo, they just shit in their messkit.

Bigly. Un-be-FV-cking-lievably stupid. I know the players aren't necessarily too bright, but sure their are sharp guys in the business office, owners, investors?

Jeeze Louise.

410 Well, of course Stafford has to bend the knee, otherwise his 'teammates' on the O- line will tip off the defense on an up coming play then 'miss' their
block allowing the QB to get freight-trained.

Stafford would like to be able to continue to walk.

411 I used to like Matthew Stafford. Shame.
I love the game of football, watched it several times a week; but now? How can I enjoy watching a game when I know 70% of the players hate my guts because they're stone-cold racists? Kinda takes all the joy out of it, doesn't it?

Posted by: Beverly at September 18, 2020 10:43 PM (iPsvI)

412 I've found it to be surprisingly easy to give up sports. I used to follow 3 of the 4 majors (hated the NBA long before now...can I say that? Lol.) As I've grown older I've lost the "live and die with the team" thing, it was still fun but ultimately insignificant. The lockdowns, combined with the SJW virtue signaling madness, has sealed the deal. Couldn't care less about any of it.

Posted by: Midnight Rambler at September 19, 2020 02:58 AM (HEiLh)

413 Every single white quarterback relies on an entire roster of black offensive players. They need to get along with their teammates to lead the offense. The price of that is genuflecting before blm/ antifa. Only the stupid ones actually believe any of that crap.

Posted by: Nikola's Notion at September 19, 2020 10:30 AM (c0RaZ)

414 I was a Giants fan for 50 yrs. Didn't watch any games last weekend. Was at a friend's house on Sunday when the NYG were playing I sat in the kitchen with mom and dad and son were dumbfounded that I refused to watch that shit. Could not have cared any less as to who won. I told them I'm burning my Shaquan NFL shirt my brother gave me last yr. They beg for it. I wonder if they would beg for the ashes?

415 I got a Direct T flyer in the mail that is giving away NFL Sunday Ticket for free. I have found other things to do with my Sundays, so suck it.
