Orrrr you’re being dishonest knowing that it’s not the so called publicity stunts responsible for the low ratings but that the ratings have dropping for a while, dating back to last year and MNF had two shit teams with a bunch of no names in small markets and no marketability
Events like the kneeling take time to produce quantifiable effects. A question I would ask is.. Is the average viewer likely to be more satisfied or less satisfied after viewing...question 2.. Is the average non viewer more or less likely to start watching after hearing about kneeling.

I just don't see how kneeling and broadcasting/discussing kneeling, could have a positive effect on viewer numbers, which directly affects the bottom line. Not in this country, at this moment.
