Clash Daily<\/p>\n

It looks like viewers don\u2019t like their football mixed with politics.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to see you take a knee for the anthem.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to see your fist raised for \u2018black power\u2019.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to see you disrespect the flag and the members of the military that have fought for your freedom to protest.<\/p>\n

Save your protest for off the field, would ya?<\/p>\n

Americans love football, but do you know what we love even more?<\/p>\n

Our country.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re willing to let you know by not watching.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just week 2, but the dramatic drop in viewership speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

For the second straight week, the NFL on CBS sank double-digits from last year.<\/p>\n

The Week 2 NFL singleheader window delivered an 8.4 rating and 14.5 million viewers on CBS Sunday,\u00a0down 24% in ratings and viewership from last year<\/strong>\u00a0on FOX (11.0, 19.2M) and down 14% and 13% respectively from 2015 on CBS (9.8, 16.7M).<\/p>\n

The 8.4 rating is the lowest for the Week 2 singleheader since at least 1998. The first two NFL windows on CBS this season have both declined double-digits to multi-year lows.

It\u2019s obviously not the football, Americans still love it!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just tired of the politicized lectures from people playing ball.<\/p>\n

Or those that\u00a0used to<\/em>\u00a0play ball, right Kaepernick?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I just want to watch a game \u2014 without being told that my country sucks.<\/p>\n

Is that too much to ask?<\/p>\n

Boycotts work.<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep at it, Clash Nation!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s make it clear to the NFL that we\u2019re tired of being lectured.<\/p>\n
