LOL: Woke Super Bowl Sees Plummeting Ratings
The Super Bowl 2021 ratings are finally out -- and they're not great. CBS announced on Tuesday morning that 96.4 million viewers watched the game across all their platforms, "including the CBS Television Network, CBS Sports and NFL digital properties, Buccaneers and Chiefs mobile properties, Verizon Media mobile properties and ESPN Deportes television and digital properties." ...Not only are they now including who watched on the internet, but the ratings system was recently changed to make televised sports seem to be more well-watched. Nielsen began including estimates of how many people watch games in bars, rather than just in homes. Those are the OOH, Out of Home, figures that are now being included in the totals. Previous years' ratings didn't include those viewers -- though they were watching in bars in previous years, too.
Concerns in the sports media industry grew when the ratings for the game were not released on Monday, which is highly unusual. "Super Bowl numbers are still being processed and verified," Nielsen said in a statement on Monday night. "We anticipate that final viewing figures, which will include Out Of Home (OOH) viewing, will be available to the media (Tuesday)."

There will be more of it.
The starting QB for each team WILL be African American. Make it so, Goodell. I mean, if the Superbowl must be in Black History Month, the starting QB's of the Superbowl should be black, shouldn't they?
We have to preclude any hint of racism here.
Does anyone who might have watched this have an honest opinion about the Half-time show?

The Off Button: Stop living on their terms
Lastly, and perhaps it is just a personal note, it is past time for us being to be producers of experiences and not consumers of experiences. Media requires only that you sit passively and absorb events as they happen to you. Most Americans watch people play sports, watch people go fishing, watch people race cars, watch people fix cars or build things. Few go out and do them, as evidenced by the average American watching nearly four hours of TV every day. It's an astronomical amount of time, and one the right has little use for. It supports people who hate you and allows the people you hate to influence your mood and culturally impact the very people you want to protect. Take a step back and not only get a lot of extra time on your hands, but quiet your mind a little bit. Happy and calm people are convincing and persuasive, not screaming, agitated and stressed out people.

So, by getting into the "pillow business" Hogg didn't mean actually building a ground-up business, but rather grift money from an oligarch to provide branding support to an already-extant business.
He'll fit right in with the other D.C. grifters. Watch the media hold him up as the counterpart to Lindell, who built his business up from the ground floor.

Yep. This is such obvious bullshit. How can you account for those watching OOH? You just take the existing numbers and multiply by whatever factor you need to make them look OK.
Besides which, aren't most bars closed, or at some small fraction of their capacity, per covid guidelines?

imo - hogg's crusade has nothing to do with pillows. He/they are not attempting to tank the pillow sales of Mike Lindell, I don't even think it's the unwavering support Lindell has shown President Trump.
I think it's because Mike Lindell is a very successful spokesman for the power of prayer, in both words and actions, his millions to Christian movies and his constant presence at country-wide prayer activities.

This is going to be VERY TRICKY to "estimate."
Either they give the NFL what they want with this, which would be a "Biden in WI" 3am spike of viewers, and the narrative "yaaaaay, people still lubbs the football!"
-OR-
They bend the knee to the Government-Medical Complex and give them what *they* want, which would be a nearly-nonexistent bump, and the narrative "people stayed home, did not go out into dangerous large gatherings, or throw huge parties in their homes."
Either tons of people watched out-of-home, or people respected Fauci / Biden / Whitmer / Newsom / Cuomo's demands.

This is the continuation of a trend. In 2012, more than 111 million people watched the game in America.
In 2021? 96 million. That's a drop of almost 15% over the past 9 years. The NFL is shrinking, and it's getting so bad that the salary cap is decreasing for the first time ever (I think). Their power to influence is diminishing, and, more importantly, their ability to manipulate based on inherited success is lessening.
Politics is downstream from culture, and the Left is losing ground in culture.

David Hogg has found a union pillow manufacturer
that's eco-friendly. And reports on Twitter are that he's blowing
Michael Bloomberg's money on this boondoggle.
Posted by: Ian S
It is a great stunt for Sir Hogg. But other than a stunt, what is the payoff here? Sure someone is going to make a ton and if any of them are entrepreneurs, you really can't blame them. At some point you have to make money off stupid if stupid reigns.
But no one who was going to buy a My Pillow will now go for the Pig in a Poke. Seems to me like fleecing fellow travelers. Now that I think of it, I need to get a few more My Pillows.

So, by getting into the "pillow business" Hogg didn't mean actually building a ground-up business, but rather grift money from an oligarch to provide branding support to an already-extant business.
He'll fit right in with the other D.C. grifters. Watch the media hold him up as the counterpart to Lindell, who built his business up from the ground floor.
Posted by: Revenant at February 09, 2021 01:22 PM (9BfnT)
In a way, I'm actually impressed with the innate grifting skills that Hogg is exhibiting here. He went from not actually being at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS at the time of the shooting to becoming one of the faces of the victims. He then wangles his way into Hahvahd even though he didn't have the grades, and now he's grifting off Bloomberg to set up a Potemkin pillow company.
I'm afraid that this guy could actually go very, very far in this new USA we have here.

The massive profits of these industries was rooted into the idea that advertising or a news/entertainment concept could be developed once and sold to many consumers.
Destroy the glue that holds civilization together, then everyone becomes more and more tribal which means mass marketing, mass media, mass politics, increasingly becomes an unmanageable mess.

What did you do with your evening instead, Ace? Honest question.
Both my kids are in Scouts. My wife and I sat down with each of them and took stock of what they've accomplished, what they need to focus on next, and laid out a rough schedule for getting it done.
This wasn't in direct Defiance of The Super Bowl, but it was just something that needed done and it was a good start-of-the-week opportunity to do so. We are better for having not tuned in. My kids are better for having not tuned in.
Life is too short for what worldly culture tells us we should be doing with our time. I assume you've come to the same conclusion, fearless leader.

The halftime show by U2 after 9/11 was pretty good. i have always thought the NFL doesn't know their audience. Sure they knew it but they hated it, they wanted the next best thing. There are so many main stream bands, country bands, etc, that would blow the roof off. But the NFL has been trying to be cutting edge for decades, even though that was not their fan base. I hope they realize soon that their base cares more about soccer, Euro Football, or whatever they are calling it these days.

It did my heart good to see some of my lefty friends all downcast that their wokeness fest was interrupted by a win by the apparently "wrong" team, and to see some bitching about the lack of POC violinists or some such at halftime.
But the NFL has been dead to me since a long time ago.

Most TV viewing numbers today are laughably bad when compared to even 30 years ago. The finale of GoT got the same set of eyeballs as the the average fifth season of Star Trek TNG. That was for a syndicated TV show. Shows that are supposedly hits today would have been cancelled for those numbers in the past.

At some point it's just too bloated to matter. No one knows what they do, and they don't actually do much of anything except collect a paycheck. One answer is just to not give pay raises during the coming inflation, to make it a less attractive career option. Then as the revenues decline due to debt service, start cutting by not filling vacant jobs first (hiring freezes), then start real cuts.

I see no counter-vailing forces of any sort in place or developing. Besides, the rot is in standards, values, mindset. That can't be "fixed".
The looks on the (mostly pretty mediocre) people around the conference table when I coined "taxpayer first" as a term for considering our program budgeting said it all.
Fury. Hate. Indignation. It was stunning. Not one of those people should have been anywhere close to a "public service" job of any kind.
Even most of the few people with a suitable mindset that I knew had succumbed by the time I bailed. Sheepish and defensive about it, not open. Same-same result, though.

This whole thing is battlespace prep for when Trump keeps winning the election fraud cases. He's apparently won 2/3rds or so of them that have been allowed to go to court, and there are more on the way.
Make it so he can't hold office (waves hands in magical way) because Congress says so, and since Biden is already IN office, he's the only logical president. Plus the SCOTUS will never overturn it, so they'll stay out of the entire thing. Poof! Trump's a doo-doo head who said pussy and ineligible to be president.

Not really optimistic but simply observation of trends in history. Societies are kind of like fault lines in plate tectonics--stable except for tremors with scant movement. Then, all of a sudden, the plates rip apart. Avalanches, etc. demonstrate similar non-linear behavior once the party gets started.
Stagnant self serving bureaucracies have been around since the dawn of civilization but communication advances on the other hand has more or less greased the fault lines in society so stability is becoming more and more fleeting in a civilization and society.

I hear you. But I think the NFL and so many others did their work to tear people apart and to alienate people that came together for communal reasons. I still get why it is hard for people to give up something that meant so much for so long. There is history there, family history. I gave up on the NFL long ago, and long after they gave up on me.

Afraid I can't tell if you are being serious or kidding. In New England (at least) the FBI is notoriously corrupt. They had agents working as hit men for the Bulger gang for crying out loud. Not to mention framing innocent men for murder(cost us taxpayers $105 million to settle with the two survivors and the families of the other two) and straight shooter Robert Mueller trying to keep the men from getting parole, knowing they were innocent, when he was in Boston.

And because the NFL pissed all over their fans, they can't even make that kind of a matchup into ratings gold.

What's going to happen to all the fans you managed to get to tune in for the first time this year and saw the woke screed was much much worse than they even thought?

I've come to the conclusion, and maybe I'm so very wrong, that melting phones from constituents don't even cause these b*stards to flinch one bit. They will do what they want. Liz Cheney is a perfect example. And most times, if something is really heating up, their voicemail boxes are conveniently full, lines are busy or there's some hapless person answering the phone who will pass along your concerns that don't matter. And yes, I'm a cynic, so my opinion reflects just that.

Yes. Sports should be good and important and it would be very helpful if they weren't politicized. It made me quit watching most sporting events. No more hanging out and watching a game or chatting about it with coworkers. That sucks, but it sucks less (for me) than putting up with it.

The dystopia in Brazil or even 1984 demonstrate a point in time but historically bureaucracies rise and fall just like any other institution because they are downstream from society and culture. The historic vice is that true believing only lasts for a generation or so, the second generation genuflects but does its own little deviance, and the third generation runs a hollow institution run primarily for a grift. Then the whole thing collapses or is replaced and it starts all over again.
FDR did his thing by setting up new bureaucracies and assignments and made his bureaucrats compete against each other. It worked for him, if not for the country as a whole.

It isn't "very helpful". It's essential to their ordered nature. Game playing in general is a simple vanity, spending billions on professional sports leagues only has some veneer of justification when they act as cultural touchpoints that cross racial/social/political lines bringing people together.
You lose that, you make professional sports into just another social/political/racist institution and the time and money you spend on playing games and watching others play games can no longer in any way be justified. Which means you should treat it like a bad habit. And try and quit if you can.

You can also go by and speak your concerns to district offices either by phone or fax as well.
If feeling particularly vengeful, look up their last campaign treasurer, counsel, etc . and let them have an earful. Speak truth to power to their core supporters instead of the head honcho--they have less insulation.

Simply put, there was nothing that anyone on the phone could say or do that would generate a reaction. The most you could hope for was to be calling about a discrete issue that the intern was told to take tallies on (number of calls for / against). Beyond reporting those tallies to another staff member, the constituent calls were disregarded entirely.
Its a very different situation if you go to the Senate office and can credibly say that you drive donations, or can deliver (or remove) a whole block of voters. That kind of approach has more clout. Individual calls do next to nothing.

Watched Greenland instead. If a french-fried and crumpled planet Earth, almost totally denuded of vegetation and forcibly depopulated, is of interest, this is the movie for you.

Article last month, the one about all the companies not advertising this year? Noted that ad prices were lower this year. They knew they'd have fewer eyeballs. Be even fewer next year. NFL is in real trouble but seems to only know how to make things worse.

If the NFL doesn't get a certain number of eyeballs it has to pay advertisers back.

And I hate to break to Nielson--but nearly all of the Super Bowl ads sucked big time--as hard as Kamala Harris. And as for the Springsteen Jeep commercial--well let's just say that anyh desire on my part to buyi a Fiat Chrysler Jeep product was gone by the time the ad was over.
I could fix the Biden infomerciall--just hit the mute button while the geezer was speaking. And I spared myself the half time show---there hasn't been a decent one for 30 years, so it was time to take the dog out to poop. That was a better show than what was on offer from the Tampa halftime.
