Poll: 32% skip NFL over anthem protests

By Around the Web

(EXAMINER) The growing number of player protests at National Football League games, driven by the Black Lives Matter movement and San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, has prompted nearly a third of Americans to turn the games off, according to a new survey.

Rasmussen Reports revealed Tuesday that 32 percent of American adults say they are “less likely” to watch a game because of the expanding protests over how blacks are treated, especially by police.

By comparison, 52 percent said it doesn’t impact their watching and a small 13 percent said they are more likely to watch football games because of the protests.
