LOL: 2018 NFL Kickoff Ratings Lower Than 2017's
(Which Were Lower than 2016's)
(Which Were Lower Than 2015's)
(Which Were Lower Than 2014's)
The wages of #Wokeness.
With a 13.4/5 in the metered markets, the post-midnight ending game is down 8% from last year’s kickoff of September 7, 2017. In one of the lowest season openers ratingswise and facing portions of a cable news-covered rally by a very NFL critical President Donald Trump, last night's game is not only down from last year, but 2016, 2015 and 2014 – all of which saw successive declines.
To add more injury to that, the 2017 8:42 PM ET-starting season opener between the victorious Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots ended up with a weak 7.7/29 rating among adults 18-49 and 21.8 million viewers. That was a double digit decline from 2016 and the worst total audience an opening game had since 2009.
At some point there's gonna be a new contract negotiation for player salaries and they're going to wonder why the NFL is telling them that they won't be making as much money now.
