Triumph of Trump: NFL kneeling

[Mountain Man]

I keep suggesting the slogan "Politifact: All politics; no facts!"

[Sparko]

Hmmm, did you happen to read the fact that ratings for all sports are down? There are no protests in NASCAR, no protests in Basketball, and yet their ratings are down and the NFL has them all beat in the ratings. So, if it makes you feel better to believe that conservative boycotting is killing the NFL, enjoy your little fantasy.

Are you daft? The NFL fans have been pretty verbal about their dislike of what the NFL players are doing. They have been booing them, burning Jerseys and boycotting games. You can't ignore all that in relation to the ratings being in the toilet. Take off your liberal blinders for once JimL.

Fans are not happy campers right now.


64% of Americans agree with Trump about this:

Hey guys, ratings for every sport, whether baseball, basketball, Nascar or football have been dropping steadily for many reasons. The ratings for game 7 of the 2017 World Series dropped by 30% over last year. How do you account for that? It has little to do with Trumps big mouth. Get a grip!

How 'bout you get a sufficient grip on facts to show them to us, and not just spout off unsupported assertions?

[Mountain Man]

I don't think his talking points memos include any relevant facts.

Why should I bother, when I spoon feed you, you simply deny it anyway. How about you stop being so lazy yourself if you really want to know and just google the ratings dip in all sports over the past few years if you don't believe me.

There was a lot more interest in the 2016 World Series in that people were interested to see if the Cubs could finally win after the longest drought in sports history -- 108 years.

Yeah there is always a reason, now why have baseballs ratings along with every other sport ratings dipped?

A gnat would starve to death on what you provide by spoon. Regardless, I'm not interested in the thin gruel you serve up once in a blue moon, but actual meat. I don't think you have it, or you'd rub our faces in it. The one thing I took the time to research carefully (NFL ratings since 2014) showed you were in error regarding the very sport at issue. At the end of 2015, the NFL was at its most popular ever in nearly all segments, and the future was so bright the prognisticators had to wear shades. Then, along came Kaepernick.

JimL, you do this all the time. You accuse us of what you are guilty of. We give you actual facts, spoonfed and referenced, and you simply deny them anyway and repeat yourself. If it wasn't so damn pathetic, it would be funny.

It's funny because it is so damn pathetic.

If you knew anything at all about business, you'd realize that a significant slump in sales was reason to be concerned. Rather than just say "well, gee, other sales are slumping, too", a prudent manager would look at the actual facts and see why their OWN business is slumping. If you were to come in and say "well, boss, other companies are slumping, too", you'd be thrown out on your big lazy but.
