Part of the decline of the NFL viewership is the fact they have decided to go massively political. That's a huge turnoff, especially when they disrespect this country, our flag, and the American people in general. Don't they know their primary audience is very pro-America? Sort of like the Dixie Chicks. You don't go overseas and slam our country if you are a country music act. Not if you want to continue selling records to your primary fanbase...country music fans. The NFL needs to drop all of the politics and get back to playing football. That may not save football in the long run, but it will extend football's dominance much longer...

Massively Political? What does that even mean?

A big reason I don't watch anymore is the start times.
