That surely is part of it too. For cord cutters that use an OTA antenna, I don’t think their ratings are being counted either.

I know no one - no one - who is not watching football because of the kneeling.

True. You also just made the think about those who “cut the cord” as well. We stopped cable a few years ago and watch stuff on apps, but those numbers don’t factor into Nielson ratings. I know tons of people who have gone this route. There are way too many factors, but I just think it’s supremely idiotic for these…

This is now the second time in a month that ESPN has fallen on its face while trying to discipline one of its biggest personalities for daring to talk politics on Twitter.

They’ll inevitably talk about how the next generation of protesters “should do it respectfully like Kaepernick did” as if this demonization never happened.

First off: India, you fucking rock, and fuck anybody who says otherwise. You’re braver than most people twice your age.

We settled this freaking 70+ years ago - you can’t expel students for not saying the pledge or otherwise acknowledging the flag(West Virginia v. Barnette) .
