For The Last Time: NFL Ratings Are Not Down. They're Up, Compared To Everything Else
trump just lies to your dumb asses

I am once again forced to use this space to explain something that is evident to anyone who has been paying attention to the nature of the television industry over the past few years.
Donald Trump, in his never-ending war on the NFL, lied about the league’s declining TV ratings in a speech Thursday to Montana residents:
“This commissioner, where this guy comes from, I have no idea. They’re paying him $40 million a year, and their ratings are down 20 percent. But you know why the ratings are down? Yes, the flag.”
Are NFL ratings down? Yes, but only if you don’t compensate for the overall decline in TV viewers due to streaming services, et cetera. If you do compensate for the overall decline in TV viewers, NFL ratings are up.
