‘Sunday Night Football’ Ratings Down Again On Day Of Player Protests
http://deadline.com/2017/09/redskins...bc-1202176141/

In metered market numbers, the primetime matchup that saw the Washington Redskins beat the Oakland Raiders 27-10 snared an 11.6/20, the worst SNF has performed this season so far. It’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s game, Atlanta’s 34-23 win over Green Bay. Amid cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of the SNF season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016.



Well.......well.....................well

I did not know what this thread was about but now it has come to my attention I believe these footballers are right to protest against the poor treatment/injustice/oppression that certain people face.

Good for them that they are prepared to make a stand when it would be far easier to stay quiet.
