WADR to the poster

it is taking a massively complex result (lower viewership) that is effecting almost every segment of viewership ( sports and otherwise) and attempting to shoehorn its reason into a very narrow bucket that aligns well with someone's strong political views. more than being political, it is frankly bs. for every isolated case of a far right guy who says he is forsaking NFL football truly for those reasons you can find the opposite isolated case in the other direction. if only for the sole reason that most Americans like self-gratification and can't even swear off ice cream for a week during Lent, I'm calling BS. ** Edited by Vippie1 at 7/14/2022, 10:59:11 AM
