Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Monday Night Football Ratings Fall to Season Low[A]s social media sparked with ESPN not showing the playing of the national anthem, another type of history was also being made: Last night's primetime broadcast of the Titans' 36-22 victory stumbled to a season low with a 6.1 in metered market results. In a season stained by overall ratings declines and political controversy, that NFL Week 6 rating is down 13% from the early numbers of the much tighter October 9 matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. That MNF season low went on to deliver a 3.7 rating among adults 18-49 and a total viewership of 10.3 million. It's worth noting that the peek of last week's MNF came at halftime on the Disney-owned cabler when the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer debuted. Year-to-year, last night's MNF dipped just over 3% in the MM [major markets, I think] results from the Arizona Cardinals' 28-3 demolition of the New York Jets on October 17, 2016. With a rating that matched the Jets score, that demo season low eventually landed with a 3.0 among the 18-49s and 8.4 million viewers, an almost audience bottom. I'm very heartened by all this. I guess that makes me an authoritarian nationalist populist or something. I mean, we owe the Media Class a living, don't we? It's our duty to waste the precious few hours of our lives staring into an electric soma dispenser, right? If the Corporate Class tells us to Consume, we must obey them. After all, they're our superiors on the social hierarchy. That's what Principled Conservatism means in the Age of Trump, right? Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

One should remember this kneeling thingy started under Obama, not Trump. So we have a lot of blacks NFL players that think killing white cops is something America will support. Methinks in another season most of these types will be replaced. You wear a uniform (cops included) you lose your right to use the uniform for a political platform.
I'm not giving up something I love cuz a handful of soon to be unemployed players want to woke me. That said, I am quite happy that my Redskins are doing well.

I was in the hospital over the weekend after getting t-boned by a drunk driver. I attempted to watch the NFL for the first time in 3 years. Even with the aid of a morphine drip, I found myself so aggited and bored with the NFL product after the first half, I nearly had a panic attack knowing that Bane would never show up in real life to end the NFL.

why would Olivia Munn agree to be a beard? Why waste her time? If Rodgers was ghey and wanted to pretend to be straight he'd pick some pretty nobody and pay her.
But he's a California lib, so I think if he were gay he would have announced it to the world, expecting all sorts of kudos and congrats. As Steve Sailer pointed out once ghey men tend to avoid team sports like the plague. There's a reason Michael Sam and one MLB player are the only ones we've heard of and it's not because they're scared to come out in 2017. Gays who are athletic tend to go in for tennis, diving, swimming, gymnastics, skating - one- on-one sports. That's not to say everyone in those sports is gay. Posted by: Donna and V.

It will all be written off as the "new normal." We will hand over football, as we have handed over education, as we have handed over Nantucket, as we have handed over so many other things that were first made by everyday Americans.
This will die slowly, like universities will, as the demand atrophies, as the product morphs, and the value-proposition dies. Football will eventually become some kind of semi-contact sport that nobody cares about. University education will become worthless, except for the STEM fields. The cost of becoming an engineer will skyrocket, while the cost of becoming a philosopher will become akin to that of becoming a farrier - a small, inexpensive niche. Liberals are changing our world, that's for sure, but not all of it is bad. There will be new outlets for our entertainment and new outlets for education and new vacation spots that liberals haven't ruined, etc. Posted by: RobM1981 at October 17, 2017 03:27 PM (qlIZh) Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at October 17, 2017 03:28 PM (ul9CR) 241

I can just imagine an ESPN anchor, or kneeler or Goodell going to a psychotherapy session weeping about how they have an SJW addiction and it's destroying their lives. And the therapist asks them, "why do you feel this obsessive, compulsive need to push politics into entertainment? Why not just stop doing it?" To paraphrase Bob Newhart. Aren't there meds that can be used to help with OCDs? That may be all there is to it.

"Plenty of gay men in team sports, and I'm sure as the stigma fades, more will come out. "
We will have to agree to disagree on this one. If there were "plenty" we would have heard of them when Michael Sam was signed or when the the former MLB player was named Token Gay Baseball Player and Outreach Guy or whatever his title is. The sports media is just dying to have some Gay Jackie Robinson to rally around and cover 24/7 and all they got was crappy player Michael Sam....It there was a time for athletes to come out of the closet it is now - when the punishment for Schilling is that he gets canned by ESPN just for tweeting that he doesn't approve of trannies in the girls room, nobody is going to harass them in the locker room.

He and his partner were having a party once and I attended with my then girlfriend, who was enamored with "hot" hockey players. I mentioned to her that my coworker had worked for the Preds and she exclaimed to him, "Oh, tell me about XYZ player! He's soooo hot!" The former coworker replies, "Oh honey, you don't have a chance.

So many reasons to hate the NFL.
1. Female sideline reporters who have nothing to report on but are simply there to employ a quota female. 2. Classless showmanship and bare-your-ass tribal antics after every tackle, reception, touchdown or interception. 3. Moron sportscasters who overanalyze the crap out of everything. They attempt to make football players seem intelligent and strategic when in fact they are illiterate trained seals. 4. Boring predictable play after boring predictable play. That's why it's more fun to see a losing team play because they take chances and get creative. Other than that, boring predictable plays.

"Female sideline reporters who have nothing to report on but are simply there to employ a quota female. "
Speaking of which, do they allow male reporters into the female locker rooms for female sports? Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at October 17, 2017 04:02 PM (EyPfd) 361

And you can't celebrate a touchdown any more as it happens. Have to wait for the review. And that's every touchdown. Takes the biggest excitement right out of the game. Then there's the penalties, replays, challenges and explanations. Way too much oversight, not enough action. Posted by: Meremortal, with hand over heart at October 17, 2017 04:02 PM (3myMJ) 363
"Speaking of which, do they allow male reporters into the female locker rooms for female sports?"
since most of the "women" in those sports have 5 times the testosterone of any of those male reporters, I don't see why not. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 17, 2017 04:03 PM (k1TUh) 364

I mean, I don't think it's impossible for there to be a few gay NHL players - but lots of them? When they are only 3 percent of the general population? I raise the bullshit flag on that one.

People like John McCain and all the fools who think we in flyover states owe them a single thing can f*# ALL the way off. It pains me to see liberalism ruin enterprise after enterprise, but if this is what it takes to finally drive it home that liberalism is cancer, so be it. Burn enough things down and finally the people (who are left) will refuse to be moved another step.

Daily Caller:
NFL Gets (More) Political, Endorses Sentencing Reform Bill "We felt that this was an issue over the last months, as we have continued to work with our players on issues of equality and on issues of criminal justice reform, that was surfaced for us, and we thought it was appropriate to lend our support to it," NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart told reporters." ------------------------------- Joe LockHart was press secretary for President Bill Clinton.

Spoke to a smart, sports-loving middle aged woman yesterday about the NFL. She's done. She's sick of everything becoming political and watching TEAM NFL cave to the SJW crowd.
This trend isn't superficial. Nor is it minor. This is a real thing, and the NFL brought it on themselves. Posted by: Christian Toto at October 17, 2017 04:10 PM (GppXG) 370

Reports are that with 2016 plus 2017 the NFL ratings are down at least 18%.
2015 had the highest ratings ever. Now they are in a death spiral with no end in sight. Posted by: All That Glitters at October 17, 2017 04:12 PM (sczG0) 372
Roughly two dozen BLM protesters heckle Jurrah Jones. Everybody's so disinterested in the NFL that they can't even fill a picket line.

Darn, ESPN MNF is still way above MeAgains ratings. I want them to down to 0.5 or whatever her #s are. Come on america, make it so. I want even ESPN college football to crater, ESPN are the instigators of this B.S. the players are just silly rubes dancing to the ESPN tune. (although non ESPN sports talkers have also egged on the idiotic SJW stunts)
