If the NFL owners dont fix the problem they have, with this kneeling down thing. Letting the cons run the prison. Football interest will continue to decline.
I'm sure you'd like to believe that false narrative
Amid all the hand-wringing and propagandizing over the damage done to the NFL’s popularity by player protests during pregame national anthem ceremonies, the important available numbers continue to paint a picture of a league that is invulnerable to controversy.
The NFL’s ratings are up in relation to general TV viewership trends, and now this: the NFL distributed more than $8 billion—a new record—via revenue sharing in 2017, per a report from ESPN’s Darren Rovell: The bump is an increase of 4.9 percent in national revenues, attributed to an escalator in the league’s TV deals and the league’s Thursday Night Football package becoming more valuable.
Packers president Mark Murphy said any effects from the NFL’s tough season, including the national anthem controversy, did not manifest in the books.

increasing revenue is one thing, the problem is that viewership is falling as is crowd attendance.

They're a business. As a long as profit is higher with fewer customers, that's much better than level profits with more customers. Revenue isn't profit but then for the NFL it's not like they have a lot of expenses. Mostly it just gives away the money it makes, not because they're altruistic but because they mostly give the money to teams to balance out the competition. It's a strange business model but still a business model.
But less than viewership of TV in general. If overall TV viewership fell by 20% but NFL viewership only fell by 10%, is the kneeling increasing viewership? Maybe. Maybe not. Without the kneeling maybe it would be up 10%. Or maybe there's no such thing as bad publicity and some people decided not to watch it but more people remembered the NFL existed and tuned in. I'm more the latter. Really don't care about football so it was more likely to make me remember the NFL existed. Did I tune in regularly? No. I did watch part of a few games though which is more than I've done in the past before getting bored and wondering off to do something other than watch TV.
About 3.5B watch... Tour de France. All in all, the Tour de France is broadcast in 190 different countries.(of total 195 countries in the world).
Cricket is next with about half billion, because of the huge Indian population.
Tennis Grand Slam produce a lot of viewers too...
So, with an estimated 103.4 million people that watched the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl is far, far down the list.

the 2nd link "claimed" 3.5B..."according to the organizers", no data to back that up
the 3rd link stated 2.4B, again...no source to back that up
the 4th link offered no reference to viewership
it's obvious they are counting viewers more than once for the 3 week event, to claim half the world's population is tuning into the race is reaching for the moon.

You do realize that 70% of NFL players are black? You do realize why they’re kneeling at the National anthem?

They used "cons" on purpose. They know.
