Except that in 2019, 41 of top 50 TV broadcasts were NFL games.

Non-NFL in top 50.

Sorry to rile up the Forum 16 posters.

Maybe I should have just stated that the NFL is still really popular and dominates television broadcasting.

Not sure how that is a straw man post. Maybe a poor attempt at sarcasm.

During the height of the anthem kneeling brouhaha, even the most ardent critics were conceding that the NFL was still the most popular show on TV. They were saying the only TV show more popular then the NFL was previous years of NFL (when they weren't highlighting the anthem):

Quote:

Believe it or not, the National Football League may actually be declining. While the NFL is still the most popular professional sport in the United States of America, the multi-billion dollar sports entity has seen a significant decline in television ratings through the first seven weeks of the 2016 season.

According to Michael Mulvihill of Fox Sports, regional broadcasts on Fox and CBS have decreased 1% and 9% respectively year over year, which isn't terrible. But national broadcasts, on the other hand, have absolutely tanked. Mulvihill's data showed that year-over-year viewership has decreased by 18% for Thursday Night Football, 19% for Sunday Night Football, and 24% for Monday Night Football.

In comparison to their competition, the NFL is still the king among American professional sports leagues when it comes to total viewership. However, the aforementioned staggering numbers make it clear that the NFL isn't the invincible force many thought it was.
