It’s a strong contributing factor. I also hear a radio interview with a top nfl merchandise owner who said they had data which indicated a decline in nfl licensed sales the exact week the kap protest went viral.

Look Chico found a poll that isn't bias from the MSM,yeah!!!

Is it part of the issue? Yeah of course it is. Is it the main factor? No, I'd say concussions, the league's ever-continuing deniability that football is directly linked to CTE, people cutting the cord, people thinking the game is being hurt by all the rules (what exactly is a catch?), etc. all play a factor. For a bit it seemed like the NFL wouldn't join MLB/NBA in suffering a ratings decline, but even they aren't immune.
