Title: 62% of NFL fans plan to watch less football

Is it a passing storm or an existential problem? That’s a key question for the NFL as it grapples with the mushrooming controversy of players kneeling in protest during the national anthem, and President Donald Trump’s persistent bashing of the kneelers.

A new Yahoo Finance poll suggests the NLF has an enduring problem on its hands. Nearly 62% of 9,056 respondents told us they plan to watch less pro football in response to the anthem controversy. Thirty-six percent said they plan to buy less NFL merchandise, and 32% have chosen not to attend a game they would otherwise have gone to. Those findings all have financial implications for the NFL and its 32 team owners.

We wanted to limit our survey, conducted online via Survey Monkey from Sept. 28-29, to people who patronize the NFL, and exclude people who have an opinion but don’t watch football. So we only counted answers from people who describe themselves as pro football fans. Eighty-eight percent of respondents said they watch at least one game per week, with 46% of those saying they watch more than two games. (Here are the full survey results. The number of responses varies from question to question.)

Football hasn't been worth watching since the pre-80's Oakland Raiders got old and retired.

You just don't see anyone from the defense draw a penalty for spiking to other teams quarterback anymore,and everyone on his team,including the coach,congratulate after he is booted off the field by an official.

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

The good ol' days, when you could measure your success by how many on the opposing team left the stadium in an ambulance.     : )

I'm not sure even hockey keeps score like that now.

Love 'em or hate 'em,but EVERYBODY knew when you were facing Madden's Oakland Raiders that you were going to get a beating regardless of who had the most points at the end of the game.

You also knew the most dangerous thing you could do was be two touchdowns or more ahead of them as the 4th quarter started. That was when the ugly came out. Their waterboy would try to trip you and beat your ass if you were running the ball on the sidelines by him.

A sure sign somebody would be leaving the field with help was when you saw Madden pacing the sidelines,and NOBODY from the Raider bench would even look at him or let him get close.

Remember the Super Bowl they won in the 70's in New Orleans? Kenny Stabler,their star quarterback and "Big John Mutuzak,a starter on defensive end,were arrested by the New Orleans police for being drunk and disorderly in a bar at 3 AM on game day ? Madden didn't even blink,never mind fine or bench them. They were supposed to lose,but ended up winning.

Half-time,it looked bad for the Raiders,and all my friends I was watching with (east coast crowd) kept saying "It's over for the Raiders",and I kept telling them they were wrong because the Raiders typically used the first two quarters to sober up and get the kinks out,and watch and see what happens in the 4th quarter.

That was FOOTBALL,girls and boys!

And yet the thuggery of the Raiders never impeded Madden as a brand-name to sell millions of copies of a football video game franchise, year after year. I think it is still the leading football game on video consoles.

No, that was hockey without the ice skates. LOL

I was living in Denver in the mid-70's. Close enough to Mile High Stadium that I would hear the crowd cheering when a touchdown was scored if the window was open. John Madden was on national tv one day talking about a upcoming championship game with Denver,and when the talking head asked him if the rivalry bothered him,he started laughing and said the last time he had been there he had gone into the 7-11 by Mile High Stadium to get a Slurpee,and a little Mexican kid (this was the 70's and it wasn't non-PC to say that) in the store recognized him,and screamed "DIE,FATMAN!" at him. Madden loved it.

He was a very nice man off the field. On the field,he was a different animal,though. TOTALLY focused on what is happening on the field,and pissed beyond belief if his guys or the refs are screwing up.

Fun anecdote. I lived in Denver in the Eighties but not that close to the stadium and the traffic mess throughout the I-80 path and Federal Boulevard. I just lived in a different traffic circus, as it turned out.

I was paying 70 bucks a month for a furnished apartment with off-street parking,and this included utilities. Not one of Denver's better neighborhoods. I have heard machine gun fire at night. Call the cops and they wouldn't show up unless there were to cars,and SWAT on standby.

I didn't have any real trouble with anyone,though. A couple of minor incidents when I first moved in with locals who thought they were tough guys,but I managed to convince them to be reasonable. Considering their only other option was to die,they could see the wisdom in that.

Also,I never made the mistake of even TRYING to date anyone's sister or other relative,and was polite and tried to be helpful to any that asked for help.

Not dating anyone's sister was the biggie,though. NOTHING will get you killed quicker in a Mexican neighborhood.
