Ummm...nope.
Viewership was
already going down...before the kneeling issue came about.
Albeit, last year it was down a little more than the previous year.
NFL viewership takes heavy hit again in 2017
Quote:
Viewership for NFL broadcasts during the regular season dipped once again in 2017 --- and by a larger percentage than last year.
The average audience across the NFL's broadcast partners --- CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN and NFL Network --- dropped 10%, according to data provided to USA TODAY Sports. While 33 of the top 50 TV programs since Week 1 in September were NFL games, this season's decline follows an 8% decline in 2016.
