Why? Because I was being honest and not just saying, "Yeah! F*** Trump!"

The POTUS wasn't simply speaking of the ratings of the NFL in a bubble.  He was saying it because he was angry they didn't do his bidding and stand for the anthem.  Ignoring all other factors is asinine...but feeds his need to be right and he base's need to hear they are right for agreeing with him.

Except the claim was, and I'm quoting here: "The ratings are down". That's the claim. It then starts with, "Yes, the ratings are down, BUT ..."
If the claim being refuted was Trump's assertions as to WHY the ratings are down, then the article should state it as such.

No, this statement of yours is not true. The rule is not "you can do it but you'll be fined". The rule is "don't do it or you'll be fined." Thus, Trump is correct that players cannot wear pink ... outside of October.

Says the guy who will go and twist things around JUST to disagree with Trump.
