The numbers show that ALL live sports have had drops in attendance and TV ratings drop due to on line viewing.
You agree fans were lost, but state NO fans lost due to flag controversy. Sounds like your opinion and not a proven fact.
In fact, my cousin stopped watching the NFL due to the flag controversy and weak initial response by the NFL. So, your opinion is wrong (at least one fan left). It seems you want your statemen to be true, but in fact it is not true.
How many were lost, I don't know but I do know the NFL added a viewership option with the goal of adding more viewers. Did they boost fans overall? We know fans going to games is down in the NFL overall, I would suspect (no facts) due to the great at home TV options and better HD options more so than politics. But, hard to quantify as people like me now watch a lve broadcasted game on TV and stream other games at same time so 1 person watching multiple games versus just all new fans.
