I'd be interested to see what that's based off of and broken down into demographics.
I certainly underestimated the amount of people who followed through with boycotting the NFL. I personally, and sadly feel, it's the biggest reason why NFL ratings and attendance are droping.

Both lines represent Trump voters. The purple line is the percentage of Trump voters who disapprove of the NFL and the gray line is those who approve.

Notice the huge swing doesn't reflect when the kneeling started, that was last year, but when Trump began his attacks on the league.

A 6 game suspension for sexual soapy assault and or domestic abuse is a slap in the wrist. They should be fired from their job just like anyone else would be.

I commend owners for not giving Ray rice a job again but I think it was more because of the negative attention it would have brought and loss of money not because of moral implications. Ray rice was given the right to play in the NFL again by the NFL though. His suspension was lifted. It should not have been. He also should have gone to jail. Many things have been swept under the carpet in the NFL as well.

I think sexual assault is in another tier entirely, and was not talking about sexual assault. Even then, the NFL can only do what they can do because of the NFLPA. Maybe u think the NFL has more power then u think it does. I don't know.

I'm just confused by it.

So the people who like Trump but disliked the NFL now like it because? I get the reasoning behind the other line, but not that one.
 
I work in an office of Trump supporters. Many have been involved in a football pool for several years. I never heard talk of the boycott until Trump waded into the fray, but now many of them have stopped watching the games. Most are still involved in the pool, though some have dropped it.

My sister, brother-in-law and nephew also stopped watching the NFL after Trump's involvement.

So apparently all these Trump supporters do not hold strong enough convictions about the NFL players' boycott to have stopped watching games because of it previously, but they now do because Trump told them to do so. Crazy.

I personally watch few games because I don't find them that entertaining anymore. I watch more college football. I will watch Tom Brady, but I don't get a lot of Patriot games.

What? I think you are reading it wrong.

Gray line shows a decrease in NFL supporting Trump supporters. The purple shows a rise in NFL hating Trump supporters.

No man, you're making this more complicated than it is. The graph tracks approval of the NFL among Trump voters.

Before Trump decided to pick a fight with the NFL roughly 25% of Trump voters disapproved of the NFL and 60% approved. Afterward 60% disapproved of the league and 30% approved.

Yes, the NFL has a lot of power, I guess a lot more than you think.

They can can players, they can help investigations. They can not protect players who have broken laws. They can take care of their ex players and their medical issues.I All things they don't do.

They do sweep many many serious issues under the rug to protect their brand. Money is more important to them than ethics or moral. Thank goodness for phones and social media to bring attention to some of the terrible things players are doing. The only reason they stepped up slightly with suspensions is because of public outrage.

The only reason owners are wanting to stop protests is because they are think they are losing money or going to lose money. They were on the players side earlier.
 
I know it has been addressed, but I want to make it crystal clear for [MENTION=253]Saint Cy of JFC[/MENTION]

The purple line indicates DISSAPROVAL of the NFL. It is a measure of how many Trump supporters DON'T LIKE the NFL now.
