After embarrassing and atrocious attendance and viewership for Christmas Eve Sunday football games, the NFL has just “cancelled” this coming Sunday Night Football game because the NFL wants to save themselves another embarrassment of low attendance and low viewership. Liberal media outfits are using the excuse how fewer people watch TV on New Years Eve which is a load of BS. I guess these liberal media hacks forgot about programs like Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve all those years.

If you were planning on watching Sunday Night Football this week on NBC as you readied to ring in the New Year, you’ll need to make other plans. The NFL has canceled the final SNF game of the season, which would have aired on New Year’s Eve. It would have been the first Sunday night football game on New Year’s Eve since 2006, when the Chicago Bears hosted the Green Bay Packers.
The reason why can be summed in up in one word: Ratings.
The traditional night-game finale usually ends with two playoff contenders. The NFL hadn’t yet decided which teams would play in the Sunday night game, but none met the criteria for a must-watch showdown. It’s also New Year’s Eve, and would likely draw fewer eyeballs than usual. Instead, the afternoon will be blanketed with grid-iron coverage, with seven games scheduled for 1 PM and an unusual nine games scheduled for 4:25 PM kickoffs, with no 8:30 PM game this year.
Guess what NFL and liberal media hacks? Your ratings are going to suck until you get players who actually respect the country they live in and average a $2 million per year salary.
