  • People say knowing the NFL is rigged will affect TV ratings...

    From Michael Falkner@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 13 16:10:57 2023
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

    45.9 rating, 77 share -- IN CINCINNATI. The highest-rated overnights of any city not involved in the game, and only a couple ratings tenths below Philly.

    (KC had a 52 rating and 87 share.)

    First of all, who said that the NFL was rigged? The players certainly don't think so - otherwise there probably wouldn't be a Super Bowl as there would be an NFLPA strike.

    Second, who said that a rigged NFL would affect Super Bowl ratings?

    Third, if anyone did say that, their response would almost certainly be one of: "Most of them were watching (a) the commercials and (b) Rhianna."
    and
    "Nowhere outside of the two cities in the game got a 50 rating? They DID do worse than usual."

    Keep thinking that. Seriously.

    Second, who said that a rigged NFL would affect Super Bowl ratings?

    Anyone who has said to me, in defense of the legitimacy of the contests, otherwise.

    Third, if anyone did say that, their response would almost certainly be one of:

    and

    It was actually the third most-watched television program in the history of the medium in the US. (the only other two were the Super Bowl six or seven years ago and the moon landing)
