Trump says players are the boss in latest NFL tweets after Thanksgiving games

[lovelystyle]

Thanksgiving Day featured three football games between the and , and and and . Although three NFC East games would normally be a ratings boom, a lot of factors suggested this year may be different. The Lions and the Vikings were the most compelling game, with the Lions effectively fighting for their division lives. The Cowboys have  Coby White Jersey been an unmitigated disaster since suspension, and the Giants have just been an unmitigated disaster.All of this to say: Thanksgiving Day did not feature the best football. Breitbart, however, thinks the poor ratings are due to protests Wendell Carter Jr. Jersey , and Donald Trump retweeted an article shared by Dan Scavino Jr. about the NFL's poor ratings, pinning them on the Giants' taking a knee (while a serviceman sang the anthem).  Can you believe that the disrespect for our Country, our Flag, our Anthem continues without penalty to the players. The Commi sioner has lost control of the hemorrhaging league. Players are the bo s!  Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)  Trump didn't stop there, however. He also workshopped Bob McNair's "inmates running the asylum" quote, saying that "players are the bo s!" of the NFL. Vernon, of course, has been kneeling since Week Luke Kornet Jersey  3 so this protest isn't nece sarily news. And the lack of support for Thanksgiving games has a lot of factors beyond this protest. One of those factors is the fact that three games back to back to back can create football fatigue quickly, especially for people that had to watch the Otto Porter Jr. Jersey  Lions' run defense.  The other can be that the Cowboys, Giants and Redskins are all suffering right now. The Giants have been terrible, the Cowboys' offense is in mola ses and the Redskins were coming off of what may have been the worst lo s of the season by any team that isn't the Chargers -- who also played on Thursday.Finally, more and more people are cutting the cord. The NFL has, more likely than not, lost viewers. But with the amount of people streaming games rather than watching them on cable, it makes sense that Lauri Markkanen Jersey  these shadow viewers aren't turning up in NFL ratings.  Trump has "fired" since September, but right now he seems content to watch the league crumble instead. As the season begins to wind down and more and more storylines emerge, we may be able to get a better read on where the league stands. Click here Click here Click here
