I didn't say that I was. As I said previously in the thread, I just think that the cord cutting phenomenon is such hard to quantify thing that it makes the traditional rating systems almost obsolete. Folks try to explain what they are seeing with ratings, using cord cutting, and it ends up just becoming spin to try to prove what you already think you are seeing.
If you want to see the ratings as down, you downplay the effect of it.
If you want to see the ratings as the same or stronger, you cite the effect of it.
That's all. Personally I lean toward the latter on the subject anyway. I just think how often it gets mentioned in the spin is funny. Like a drinking game.
I guess we just disagree that it's "spin". I see it as a quantifiable fact.
You are conflating positions though. I never claimed that the NFL has a problem here. It would be odd, as I don't really think they do.
I just pointed to the cord cutting stuff as I find it funny how people latch onto it as the pivot point for all confirmation bias on the subject.
I don’t think that’s an apples to apples comparison. The article points out the increase in options with tv programming, which is true.
However people choosing to watching tv series and streaming movies instead of cable or major network broadcasts is a reflection of people still watching some form of acting. There is no NFL to watch on Netflix or or Amazon. The decline in NFL viewership is simply people choosing not to watch it anymore, inspite of an increase in population.
People who watch Netflix aren’t choosing to not watch directed and produced tv series anymore.
It also doesn’t reflect the decline in attendance some stadiums are having.
This in no way reflects the collapse of the NFL but it is 100% a reflection in the decline of its popularity and further suggests the NFL peaked.
