That's an asinine statement. The Earth is probably a couple of billion years old, and the Universe is by best estimates about 5 to 6 billion years old.All of his “statements” are assinine. Because he’s assinine.
This has nothing to do with science. What it does pertain to is a bunch of pampered athletes "protesting" events and historical events that they have no clue as to the truth of.
I would like to give each of these protesters a simple History Test. Heck, keep it at the middle school level.
I would bet a years salary they would all flunk. Originally Posted by Jackie S

http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/...z&ocid=U221DHPYou're a low functioning moron. Cord cutting has been going on for years and the NFL's and especially ESPN's ratings have reflected it. This year is a big drop. If you happened to look at some of the games, attendance was down big time. I don't believe the fake number they put out, I look at the stadium seats during the game. Several Texan season ticket holders I know gave their tickets away or ate them. There were many news reports of tickets in some cities going for $10-20 dollars instead of the $100+ they usually command.
The real problem if the ratings decline is across the board for everything it means factors that the NFL could theoretically control aren't the major reasons for fewer viewers. That's scary. It's not the protests, or the over-saturation or the quality of play or the kneeling or Colin Kaepernick. Those things can all theoretically be controlled. It's the changing in consumption patterns. It's cord cutters. It's YouTube and Snapchat and Facebook. The reason for ratings decline isn't something the NFL is doing or not doing. It's something they can't stop . . . unless they can somehow freeze time and stop technological advancements.
The NFL's demise has been greatly exaggerated. People are still watching and they are watching more in comparison to any other programming. Ratings are down, but they are down across the board. Unless there was protests and kneeling on scripted broadcast programming that we missed somewhere, the NFL's problems are about reaching millennials and cord cutters. Originally Posted by WTF

. I don't believe the fake number they put out, I look at the stadium seats during the game. Oh you and Trump compare crowd size...got it. Several Texan season ticket holders I know gave their tickets away or ate them. The Texans sucked dickhead! Jesus.

This from your link...I’ve already said that. There’s lots of reasons. The kneeling just added to it. MLB is doing well too:

I don't think anyone is claiming that the only reason for declining ratings is the player protest. Some things are out of their control but you would think that they would address those things that they can control. A very poor decision on the owners part.
