All the people who swore they were going to quit over kneeling did that years ago, remember?

There was a huge jump in online viewership. Most streamed NFL game besides the last Super Bowl.

Not enough to make up for the lost in broadcast viewership, but it was still the most viewed sports program on Thursday. They were competing with a Lakers playoff game, which they weren't competing with the NBA or any post season MLB games in 2019. The kickoff game in 2019 was a bigger deal too because it was the Bears and Packers commemorating 100 years.
