NFL television ratings took an historic nosedive this year.
Ratings were down by 10% this season.
This follows an 8% decrease in ratings in 2016.
Maybe supporting anti-military protests and kneeling during the National Anthem was not such a smart move, huh?

Over 200 NFL players knelt during the US national anthem on Gold Star Mothers Day this year.
The most outrageous act of defiance was the antics by LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills who stretched and ran off the field during the National Anthem.
