Viewers Tuned Out NFL Because Of National Anthem Protests
This should come as no surprise to anyone whose paid any attention to the increasing politicization of sports coverage. ESPN has been hemorrhaging viewers over the past year, due in no small part to its decision to push political messaging every chance it gets and minimize its conservative-leaning talent.

While I like the headline and the post, the link is from 2017. Am I missing something about "ESPN finally admits" something?
I figured I would see something about viewership decline at ESPN, SEC bias, viewership decline planned for upcoming sporting events, etc. But nothing new if the piece is from 2017.

The recent, very much changed, soccer and baseball games must be driving some people absolutely out of their minds.
Change is coming, ready or not.

People that hate this country are trying to changing whatever they can. I just for the life of me can’t figure out how people can say they Love America but want to turn it upside down. You just don’t do that to someone/something you love.

I will be fine, I have other interests that will keep me out of the line of fire from all these socially aware athletes. Its so hard on the psyche being around so many people with their fingers on the pulse of all the ills of society, I just don't measure up. Its brilliant really. Kneel during the Anthem to show all of us who defended or love this country how misguided we are. It really speaks to the heart of the issue, smmfh....don't take a page from the Birmingham protests, then these players would actually have to do something tangible, maybe get locked up. Easier to be a twit....

Kneel during the Anthem to show all of us who defended or love this country how misguided we are. Kneeling is a peaceful and nonviolent protest. Free speech. Isn't that what you fought to defend? Or was it protest in ways that please me, or else, .........boy? I got you. You can protest, if I approve. Because "I" and I alone fought for your right so I have to approve. Otherwise you can just go bail that cotton. I get it. We all get it. Institutional racism is definitely not real.
