Apparently the NFL isn't really suffering anymore. Ratings are skyrocketing, according to this report. I thought this would happen-eventually temper tantrums end, and people usually don't have the energy to boycott something for a prolonged period of time. We are still talking about the National Anthem protest, but not as much as before. The ratings went down for a bit, but have clearly bounced back. Attendance might be suffering if the local team is struggling (Tampa, my local team, are giving away free tickets. Not a good sign) but other than that the NFL has rebounded.
Is the NFL in the clear? Oh, God no. Between CTE, domestic violence and yes, national anthem protests they still have major problems that aren't going away-but at this point, viewers aren't going away either.
