say on twitter i boy cotted thed league and i'm not much whatting because of the protests and actually they are still watching.watc we dope know how am people are doing what they claim. wh they're outraged that the leagut ishe allowing the player protes. it is enough of a loud factorctr that the league specifically responded to this claim and that is we see no evidence that concern over player protest duringst the national anthem is having any material impact on ratings. that is unusual that they would nonetheless, this is the frontier in which live.ve there's no prove that it's a major factor. it goes many different ways. a lot of people tend to thinkto it's a lot of lousy matchups. we had a nasty game last night.t i think that's pary t of itof because the envelope a couple of years ago denied have to make sure people are watching at the end of the season.son. you get a key conference matchups and a lot of dog gamess

>> i think that's part of it. you have to pay it, fewer commercials, charge more for the ones you have. the late ones did quite well in the afternoon. > we'll be right back.
