But this article does state that 50% of people who are watching less football is because of the protests.

Ok, but those polls were taken recently. I mentioned I was interested in prior to the onset of POTUS daily comments, which I think were maybe last September.

Up to that date, and I am close but will accept valid changes...I think 9 or 10 players had protested in total. The first Sunday after the daiyl assaults, over 200 knelt.

The weight of the POTUS comments worldwide, is and always has been dramatic. Measured words have usually been a par for the job.
