Did you see it? Trump Slipped Something Spicy In SOTU Speech for NFL Kneelers

By

President Trump wrapped up his SOTU address and all conservatives can say is wow. He hit all of the points that conservatives wanted him to and he brilliantly highlighted the various ways his administration has been a smashing success thus far.

Over the past year, Trump has gone up against a lot of opponents.

Democrats, celebrities, foreign leaders, etc.

However, one of his most memorable targets was the NFL and their strange decision to let players kneel for the national anthem without any kind of punishment.

It was a ratings killer for the league.

With the 2017 NFL season now down in the record books as having lost another ten percent in TV ratings, the league has found a $30 million dip in ad revenue, a report says.

As the final numbers for advertisement sales for the season were tallied, the league discovered that its revenue fell 1.2 percent because “makegoods” rose to beat rate increases. A makegood is a partial repayment of money charged to advertisers because the viewership did not reach the expected numbers to justify the top rate.

Revenue was reported at “$2.42 billion, down from $2.45 billion in 2016,” according to media industry trade magazine Ad Week. That is a $30 million loss according to Awful Announcing.

Impossible to make the argument that the anthem protests had nothing to do with that.

During Trump’s SOTU address he took a moment to take a little shot at the kneelers and remind them that a lot of Americans out there didn’t appreciate what they did.

One more:

Democrats weren’t pleased.
