Just saw that viewing of NFL games is considerably down from previous seasons. In some cases, upwards of 30% of people said they would be watching less games, if any at all, in 2016.

As a avid fan of football, I must say recent events with the National Anthem protests did dent my enthusiasm a bit, although seeing my favorite teams elect to not participate in any similar gestures has brought some relief.

So, will you be watching less, more, about the same games this season, or do you even watch the NFL ?

NFL needs to stop politics and go back to sports.

As much as I watched last season.

That means one game if the Broncos get to the Super Bowl again.

I'm rapidly losing interest in most pro sports, as NASCAR driver Tony Stewart has said about racing, the more $$$ involved the less fun it is. I miss the days when it was more sport than business, when players like Johnny Unitas, surely one of the all time great QBs would have to find work in the off-season because football just didn't pay the bills. The days when a beer was the most commonly used performance enhancing drug. Those men played as much for the love of the sport as for the $$$.

No change, and why should I care when the anthem is typically not even televised except for Week-1 and maybe MNF.

I don't watch any pro or college sports with the exception of the Super Bowl. I would rather be outside.
