Why fewer are watching NFL

A word to the NFL and its players. You want to solve the mystery of why viewership is down 20-plus percent? Stand up for the national anthem, hand the ball to the referee after you score, and stick the black power sign where the sun don't shine!

These simple things would guarantee the return of viewership to past levels or even higher.
