Will wel now start to see some major negative effects from the NFL protests? Attendance is down and viewership is down. Monday Night Football ratings are plummeting. Did you know that every cable and satellite subscriber who has ESPN is paying $21.50 a year just for Monday Night Football games? ESPN presently pays $1.9 billion a year for Monday Night Football. This month (October) ESPN has lost over 15,000 subscribers a day per the latest Nielson estimates. It’s hard to believe ESPN can afford to provide Monday Night Football going forward. The NFL has gotten used to television revenue only going up. I think they can say goodbye to that model. What will it take Goodell, the owners, and the players to finally realize the National Anthem protests is killing the NFL brand? If they continue the protests they can look forward to major pay cuts all the way around. Maybe then they can protest their own stupidity for alienating their customer base.
