most people don't even turn the game on early enough to catch the anthem... I'm not a sports fan per se, but watched a few games in my lifetime and I can honesty say I have never watched the anthem..
fierce cat Right...I'm thinking these ppl are weirdos or the ratings are prob typical throughout every season
fierce cat so tru
fierce cat that's because they don't show the anthem unless it's a prime time game
i like the general idea of it but when you look at the facts its hypercritical and offensive
Max The real reason the ratings are dropping are because people are switching to streaming services.
Shanon low key called those older people racist
Tyler Roach he wasn't wrong for the most part
not a cheathawks fan if you want to say that their are more old racist than young that is fine but you shouldn't assume most old are racist
Tyler Roach, more like Angry old white guys
I just think the quality of the games aren't as good anymore
I think that is part of it too. They have continued to water down the game and it's starting to really show.
Adam House I agree, we need more dynasty teams, a team that you hate or love, a team that you identify with, look at the 70s they had more than one Dallas, Pittsburgh, Miami, Oakland, Minnesota! It started to drop off in in the 80s how many maybe 3? The 90s maybe 2 in the 2000s only New England, the level of play has fluctuated from one team to the other free agency has done this
Adam House precisely
Adam House theres too many penalties and commercials making the game longer then it needs to be
I agree and look at the matchups on Monday and Thursday night Gamez some of the teams are terrible....Do away with Thursday night games cause teams that played that Sunday turn right around and play on Thursdays....no rest major injuries....Also Gamez being streamed is killing ratings
Ray Lewis brings nothing to any intelligent conversation. He sets black people back 20 years everyday he opens his mouth.
Geraldo S Never demean a man who speaks with passion... he isn't fake he tells it like he sees it and I respect that... some people just don't recognize real apparently
Geraldo S what lol I don't even like him from my NFL fandom but he's very well spoken.
Geraldo S You just dislike black commentators if you don't think Ray Lewis is well spoken
If Ray Lewis talks for 10 minutes he may actually say something worthwhile for the first minute or so. The rest is just nonsense.
Incorrect, I'd be willing to bet that Geraldo feels that Ray is a "self-hating Uncle tom", like the other black people talking down on him on this and many other threads. "Accountability" is like kryptonite to the people who call him out.
and they hardly show the national anthem on tv unless its a playoff or superbowl game. those weren't real fans to begin with. Kapp is just the fall guy
since when is watching football on Sunday, the most patriotic thing you can do? FOH
Die-hard fan here. Quit watching the day the Cowboys took a knee.
NFL players only started coming on field for the National Anthem in 2009.
The reason: The govt. paid them to stage patriotic displays to boost military recruitment.
The Department of Defense and the National Guard paid the NFL a combined $12.3 million between 2011 and 2015, so the next time you think NFL players should stay out of politics, just remember that politics injected itself into the NFL first, and these players never got a say in being used as army recruitment tools.
Don't like players protesting? Petition the government to reallocate those funds to something productive and let the players make their own choices in the locker room like they used to.
The cowboys didn't take a knee during the anthem.... it was before the anthem played.... they all stood for the anthem... you might want to get your facts straight.
majorblue777 How can you call yourself die hard? looks like you died easily.
Because the knee "disrecept" the fall or because the nfl owners are stopping people from doing it
You ever think that 55 and older community are the ones that fought for our country and their freedom?
More than likely the 18-25 year olds never fought for anything in their lives. Let alone fought for someone's right to protest
Nobody watches the 49ers regardless of the anthem protest.
I think people are cutting there cable off I mean what's the use of cable when we have Netflix and Hulu and you can stream games online for for free I'd rather pay $20 a month opposed to $50 and $60 on cable
Ray Lewis makes me NOT watch the show
as a soldier I respect Collin and defend his right to do so I'm tired of bigots saying that veterans and soldiers would be dissapointed but the majority of soldiers fight so we can have people protest where ever or whenever
GHOST-_-APOLLO I'm a soldier and I agree. this America. right to be free is what I defend. free to protest problems within this dying country? so be it.
Please, doing a couple of years in logistics is not "a soldier".
GHOST-_-APOLLO respect bro
Jan Suchopárek I'm an infantryman in 36th ID
I applaud you for this comment as well as my brother served in 91 in the Persian Gulf and I support the military
We are paying these people to play football not to use the field for a platform for their political views.
Maybe they ain't watching because people get busy at times lol we dont sit on the Sofa for every dam game ha you got baseball on basketball bout to start. we cant just watch football
I dont care as long as players keep kneeling for the national anthem. Police brutality is a more important issue.
Aidan Watson Dumbest comment of the year.I been a victim of police harrasment.I am a black man.I been talking about it for years . You're not around every black person 24 hours a day.
Aidan Watson There been officers and people that change their views due to Colin stance.If you want to believe your lies that ok with me.
Jamal Talbert it's just really really mind boggling how not serious people were taking it before Kap is all.
Are criminals resisting arrest an issue as well or is it all the police's fault? Are the riots and looting an important issue? We keep on hearing what police are getting away with but even in instances in Charlotte when the guy who was shot had a gun and would not put it down they still riot.
Glock2201 the way the police handle situations when it involves white and blacks is very glaring, white man have assault rifles in hand and not shot down
I would be surprised if the NBA ratings dipped because there players kneel or lock arms..!
Not allowed to. It's in the NBA rules that you HAVE to stand for the national anthem, and the Canadian anthem as well, and it has to look respectful. I am actually surprised that this is an NBA thing verses and NFL thing to be honest.
Although I disagree with many things Ray Lewis says, I do applaud him for the work is doing 👏👏👏
Well believe it Sharp! I love the NFL. I wait all year for it and I stopped watching until they stopped showing the protests...
Very Powerful Segment. Ray Lewis spoke about Economic Opportunity. I have often alluded to that myself. Equal Opportunity and Hope...
Yes, however the equal chance for economic opportunity will in no way bring an end to the racialized, systematic dolling out police brutality. These issues are mutually exclusive. Social justice for blacks will not be achieved through economic opportunity within a system of white supremacy. I like what Ray Lewis is doing, however economic development (in & of itself) won't change the practices of law enforcement in America.
You will never get me to tune in or spend one more penny. I'm sick of the disrespect and racist narrative that spouts from the NFL and pro sports.
Im from Baltimore...born and raised 33yrs...Ray disappointed an entire city of loyal hard working people. Shame
wrong! i love sports but i will start watching other sports because of these overpaid entertainers that contribute nothing to this world but humor us. now they dont even do that
Before you can judge this poll or any poll, you need to know not only the questions asked but also how they were asked. Why? Because pollsters know, depending on what result they're trying to get, the questions asked and how they are phrased can lead to specific results.
Ray Lewis 🙄😒🤔
flowerchildspirit ikr...😒cant they find a more articulate brother?..or at least some one who can stay on topic?..
flowerchildspirit just cause he dosent agree with u guys?... smh
John Dev Listening to him be so nonchalant and dismissive about police brutality is frustrating and disappointing.
what are yall talking about? ray lewis is the most inspiring black voice ive heard since mlk jr. when he gives speechs you catch chills. he's being positive and doing something about it at least. what are yall doing? sitting at home bitching about it? this is why blacks struggling now. you cant even love your own kind because they see things differently or do things differently. just calm down and find love within yourself so you can stop hating others who love themselves and all people
General Maudy In your opinion, however, on this subject, he has dropped the ball that's my opinion which I am entitled to just like you. I volunteered 8 years for inner city youth, so don't give me that what are you doing. You don't know me to speak on what I'm doing.
Echo echo echooo
USAF veteran. Kneeling disrespects all of us who put our lives on the line for the freedoms that we have. I sold my Saints season tickets and haven't watched a game since CK knelt. ... I understand the players concerns, but disrespecting America isn't fixing any problems, just aggravating the issue. They come across as spoiled and childish to many of us.
The "take it or leave it" people are at the margins. But that's where the money is made. At the margins. And the owner's are smart, they know it. When the owners see a 30% revenue cut, that unpatriotic behavior will end in a heartbeat.
I'll never watch an NFL game again. Nothing. I was a season ticket holder for 7 years.
I can guarantee you..Been a fan for 50+ years. Cleveland Browns. Both my parents were Marines. I am DONE.
Watch Roger Goodell institute a new rule next season that requires players to stay in the locker room during the national anthem moving forward like they used to. Not saying I want that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that does happen.
3 strong men not afraid to tackle such a topic salute to Shannon Ray and Skip
You know that age range also had more close family members who fought in the two world wars and Vietnam too. People don't care what is being protested. They care how it's being done. American's feel like they have been slapped in the face by a group of men who they spend their hard earned money to watch play a game. Those players could have marched down the street in protest, worn certain shirts in protest, very few people would have cared. Knelling during the anthem? Nope.
Never buying tickets again and not going to watch it only look up final scores !!!!
Too many commercials during games
What is Ray talking about? He's saying that Black people need jobs to slow down police brutality? Quite a few of the unarmed Black men executed by white race soldiers had jobs. That's a straw-man argument and not what is causing police brutality. Ray is talking around the real issue.
Steady income does not equate to "stable living." "High income" equates to "steady living." Both my mom and my grandmother had a steady income and yet we still went homeless twice throughout my childhood.
Critical Thinking aint the first time he talks around it!
white race soldiers
Nice one, racist-boy.
the police ,is that all police or just some,obviouisly critical thinking as a page name was a joke
Critical Thinking just because your unarmed didn't mean your not dangerous.
Unarmed anyone be shot by police is terribly wrong. Horribly wrong. And those that do this should be locked up under the prison. But again, where is the protest about all the young black men killed by other young black men. What about the innocent ones that are caught in the crossfire....
amazing discussion
In the next generation, Colin will be celebrated heavily as a trailblazer for rights. Those people opposing him will be seen just like Ole Miss fans from the early 60s who blanketed the stadium in rebel flags every Saturday.
In the Future generations when the Civil Rights movement is being taught Colin kaepernick will be in the Same conversations as Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Dr. King, Etc
Austin's Finest - Yep and those reporters and people who come out against him publicly will be seen like Strom Thurmond or George Wallace
Austin's Finest ....a bit too far, but I understand you.
Nate TheDaddy boi you drownin in them waves son
Tell me what Capernick wants. Its not like the civil rights because people actually had objectives like the civil rights amendments and legislation now their protesting and don't even know what they want besides "Bring attention to the problem"
Ratings drop because of national anthem protests that aren't even seen on TV?
C'mon.
People aren't watching as much football because the NFL has almost completely lost its way. Keeping up with this tepid football league has become far too expensive for what it's actually worth - THIS is why interest is sharply dipping.
Plus, Roger Goodell is a tool - forgot about that part.
I'm glad Colin took a stand with the anthem as I wound up doing research; seeing that the 'Go Back To Africa' chants started with its' creator Francis Scott Key and the omitted stanza about 'Colonial Marines' (slaves offered freedom fighting for Britain). That reason alone I would support his taking a knee. Everyone talks about Colin taking a knee but no one talks about Police Reform in which he mentioned in CA "..Cosmetologists are mandated 1600hrs of training before getting their license, but for some counties P.O. training isn't even 1/2 that and they're issued a badge and a gun..." As far as the ratings are concerned; the 'protest' is a scapegoat as I saw Mets fans drinking, carrying on during the same Anthem on Memorial Day. Ratings are down due to over saturation, too many teams, and too many bad plays, mistakes, missed tackles and POOR PLAY. Houston Texans only looking good when the Colts collapsed as the other 56 minutes was horrible to watch, same with KC visiting Pittsburgh; even J. Mara Giants Owner talked about the 24-3 stinker on Monday Night vs the Vikings. There's not enough talent to support Fantasy Football, which in itself turned the NFL from 'Sport' to 'Entertainment'.
Man I'm a huge Ravens fan but Ray Lewis got me shaking my head, I applaud him for what he's doing, but police brutality has nothing to do with income it's about racism so what does his point have to do with anything.
Exactly.
a lot of people just watch football casually and that is enough to not watch
I stopped watching football cause its corny... all these rules... can't celebrate... no guaranteed contracts for the players if the most violent sport... its a million reasons football just ain't cool.. this kneeling thing isn't a real issue
What do they need to calibrate?
Glock2201 typo... celebrate ...lol
I thought maybe some scales or something....
I gave up waiting for the NFL to do something, I quit watching the NFL. Spend my spare time doing important things now like fishing with my grandkids, had a blast. Went last Sunday and we're going again next Sunday 😉🇺🇸
You don;t get it, him telling US its not about the flag, does not make his disrespect he has shown go away. Also why do they never mention kaps first comments where he said it was about the flag?
CK really needs to bring up black on black violence in Chicago and Baltimore and other ghettos. There have been more killings in Chicago alone then the Iraq war. That's saying something.
Die hard fan stopped watching when protests started. May never watch again. When the NFL didn't stop players from putting a knife in the heart of every parent who has lost a child in war, I was done.
In my opinion, the ratings have dipped because the NFL is the NO FUN League because it all of a sudden wants to be more family friendly. Way too many penalties for players celebrating a big play which is simply taking emotions out of the game. Touchdown dances were fun and entertaining and now you have unsportsmanlike penalties for shooting a bow and arrow on the sideline?? C'mon man. By taking out the entertainment factor, the NFL has hurt its product because the level of play doesn't always bring the goods. If you're not watching games because ONE player didn't stand up for the national anthem, that's a little pathetic.
Man, what ray said around that 15:30 mark was great!
Are they still oblivious about the big lie around Michael Brown or are they obnoxiously lying?
They gotta show something but one day a big chunk of the crowd is gonna start sitting too. I was inspired by his efforts to question blind patriotism publicly.
hmm why time and time again why all this blame on the cops???? So there is no accountability on what people do til they get shot by cops??? It starts from the home... all the problems that all childrens go thru... for helping the child or teaching morals.
decent convo
IF IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FLAG OR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, THEN WHY PROTEST DURING THE CEREMONY?🤔
LOL we don't believe these polls. Ratings will tell
The reasons with the age groups are WWll late 80's, Korea 70-80's Veitman 60-70's Desert Storm 40-50. These age bracket of veterans who served.My only question is Why during the athem.THE message is lost
Just one more thing that's been ruined.
protest is fine the only reason I don't watch the game is getting a over saturated.. too many games on all the time ..plus my team isn't on in my area.
great..great..show.. Great episode.
Ray Lewis Super Bowl title from 2012 is tainted
Everyone has the right to protest. I'm not denying that. I have family and friends who died under the flag defending your rights. The only thing I'm asking is please don't protest while I'm saluting and remembering my family and friends.
It's 2021 and this is still a problem. Whyte folks don't wanna admit to their bs!!! It's THAT SIMPLE
Ray Lewis would've called Rosa Parks...irrelevant.
You’re wrong look at all the TH-cam videos of people been watching football 40-50 yrs have Burned their gear and turned off the TV forever
I don't need entertainers, NFL or ESPN
Boycott both.
I would love to debate Shannon on this
I didn't watch football because my cowboys sucked bad this year!
As far as the NFL, it has become stagnate, parity is not good for viewership. People like to watch greatness, not goodness. the College game hasn't taken a hit because all the games mean something, and there are great teams that dominate.
Players have the right to protest. The team's also have the right to fire them for actions they deem detrimental to their business. If you want to combat racism, point to a racist law or a racist person and we can all fight against it together. Otherwise you are causing more animosity, just to make yourself feel that you are a good person and deserve some symbolic pat on the back. Each case should be taken as a separate issue. Keith Scott should not be lumped in with cases like Walter Scott.
Not everyone that disagrees with the BLM movement is racist either, there are many black people who think BLM is a fraudulent organization. And they have very good reasons for thinking so. Look up ties to George Soros, anti Israel, open borders to obtain votes. And no I'm not voting for Trump.
There is a huge issue with the wealth gap in this country. People on the left mistakenly equate this to the wealthy doing something amoral to obtain this wealth, and in most cases that's not true. A community is only as good as the crime in that community, white or black. Clean up the crime, the businesses will come, the jobs will come, the schools will come, the good teachers will come, the money will come, and the cops won't have a reason to come.
I watch football as long as their is Fantasy Football. Nothing else matters.
1920 to 2017 rip NFL
a lot of people are boycotting the NFL because Kaep is being blackballed
I dont think there are any race issues, they start their engines and go in circles. what issue are they talking about.
Shannon Sharpe has always been an outspoken critic of what America really is, the people. He criticises everything we stand for and he would be out in front of these disrespectful players actions leading their demise.
I confess I have never cared for the man's opinions and was never a fan. I have not and will never watch a program when he expresses his views.
what is Ray talking about ???these dude always trying and beat around..dude u grown ..say wat u wanna,.
I see some new rules coming out next years for the NFL players. no disruptions from the players. there a place and time and this is not the place for this. i my self WILL turn off the tv because there is a place and time and this is not it before the game.
the owners and thinking okay we can do it this season but money is the big issue and if the fans arent watching because they feel the same way,
Its because there is no hitting allowed in football anymore!
why they only talk about black been racist.how about black racist too.why dont they talk about how hart to love around black community
I will not watch NFL OR Niners game because of Collins disrespect.
This round table will have more teeth when Skip and Shannon takes uncomfortable show topics (DOMESTIC ABUSE, ANIMAL CRUELTY, DISCRIMINATION, PED's PROTESTS and ect.) to town hall arenas in front of live audiences. Maybe Fox executives should set 2 hours aside per month dedicated to just that.
Diehard fan just quit BECAUSE OF THE DISREPECT!!! UR Wrong Shannon!
Uh did Shannon just suggest that a bunch of old dudes aren't watching the NFL because they are racist? What was the point of bringing up the ages of people? They could have been any old people that didn't really get involved with civil rights. This story just sorta confused me conceptually from shannons pov. I get where he's coming from but the amount of people who are openly racist in the country is very low now so I just kinda think that was a reach.
At least rays not killing people anymore
Its not as much about the protests as it is about the game has changed. I have been watghing football for over 40years. I don"t know the rules anymore. It takes a hearing to decide what a catch is. I cannot look at a replay and know what the outcome of the deliberation will be. I also don't now what is hitting too hard and what is a man tackling a man. The referees can dictate the outcome of these games by judgement calls on so many different variables. The game is garbage now. Forget Kapernick, the game is garbage. I never thought I would say this , but I think I would rather watch soccer. Just convert the stadiums and get the money behind soccer. Stop beating the Kapernick dead horse. The game will continue to decline now that the game has changed too much to be traditional football. Its over, Mark Cuban said it years ago and he was right. It has nothing to do with Kapernick.
I can't wait for the XFL
The NFL seriously needs to go the way of the Dodo! RIP, I'll catch ya on the flip side NFL.
Thankyou! I stopped watching for this exactly!
Let me be blunt here. There's a problem to be sure, but it's not one that should be pulled into the nfl. The people who are kneeling I personally have no problem with. It doesn't hurt me none and is their right to do so as fellow Americans.
Having said that, given how divided the country is it should be noted that there are other ways in which to bring attention to this tender topic other than kneeling during a part of what is American tradition. Side note though: In many schools now kids/young adults no longer have to stand for the pledge in the morning because it's their right to and not to do so. It's the same thing here but on a larger scale that people seemingly forget about.
We don't invade countries, we help them by dividing out our military power in times of crisis to keep friendly relations so those countries continue to export resources to the United States.
Besides that, this isn't the topic at hand, it's of the United States own in country quarrels that's being discussed.
I dont thin Colin protest has anything to do with the ratings dropping. I think NFL is not as interesting (i dont watch it anymore unless its the Super Bowl). The NFL was fun to watch when Owens, Moss, Faulk, Ray Lewis etc played
I love ❤️ NFL football but I don't watch NFL now still watch college ball I never watched baseball or basketball but now I have to
I have been hardcore nfl for 35 years. No longer!
I miss jugde ol Ray im sorry Ray Lewis
injustice. is ray lewis being free. js
The fans that are quitting are the casual fans? Wow. Take a look on youtube and watch fans who have followed the NFL for 30 years burn hundreds of dollars worth of NFL gear, saying they will never watch the NFL again.
Don’t lie to yourself Shannon. Casual fan! No I was a diehard fan! My team not good. No! I live four miles from Gillette Stadium. I use to live in foxboro. I could hear the crowd from my front yard. It’s not just Colin kapernick. It’s not the rule changes. It’s not the head injuries. It’s the way the nfl rammed the whole pink campaign down our throats. All the while making countless millions off of our donations. It’s the barrage of the no more campaign. Making every man in America out to be some kind of abuser or racist. It’s the nfl taking taxpayer dollars to honor soldiers. Why are you guys justifying a form stupid entertainment. Is now some big platform to scream about all the injustices of the world. I got news for you. It’s not entertaining!! It’s belittling and disrespectful to your viewership. Until you remember that your (sport) is just simply entertainment. Face it, in the unlikely event that society crumbles tomorrow. Running fast and catching footballs has absolutely no bearing on reality or society. With that I bid you farewell and goodbye. God bless
Yahoo always talks bad about Nfl
They don't show the sidelines, or the stands up close....only distant views. Sorry but protesting the ANTHEM is ruining the game. You can protest at half time...After the game...anything...people would listen..but NOW it is about the ANTHEM and our Flag and Love of Country..because KAP changed his rhetoric on the 4th of July after he quit football to go to UGANDA...
PS Ray Lewis is the TRUTH!
I make sure i show 10 minutes in. That way ido not have to watch protesting. From Sept 16, 2001 until 2017.
The players get paid generational money. All i want. Your job is football. Keep your causes off the football field.
Police volunteer for games guys! There own time!
Salute to my man, SKEEEUUUUP!
Shannon Sharpe has turned FS1 into the Civil Rights Network. I'm going to FS1. At least there I can get what I tune in for. Sports Information!!!!
