From Rasmussen:
A sizable number of Americans say they may give the National Football League a pass this year, thanks to the player protests over racial issues.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that nearly one-third (32%) of American Adults say they are less likely to watch an NFL game because of the growing number of Black Lives Matter protests by players on the field. Only 13% say they are more likely to watch a game because of the protests. Just over half (52%) say the protests have no impact on their viewing decisions.

But as with most questions involving race, blacks and whites have sharply different reactions. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of blacks say they are more likely to tune into an NFL game because of the protests, compared to eight percent (8%) of whites and 16% of other minority Americans. Whites are twice as likely as blacks – 36% to 18% – to say they are less likely to watch this year, and 29% of other minorities agree.
Again, for me it isn’t about race but that I just want to watch football when I watch football. I don’t want to be preached to or lectured by anyone when I want to watch sports. The more the Left wants to do it, the less I’ll participate. Trust me, there are many other things with which to spend my disposable time.
