Shock poll: NFL now least liked sport, core fans down 31%

This is from the "Washington Secrets" section of The Washington Examiner, by Reporter Paul Bedard, 7 October 2017.

Over just one month of player, coach, and owner protests of the flag and National Anthem, the National Football League has gone from America's sport to the least liked of top professional and college sports, according to a new poll.

From the end of August to the end of September, the favorable ratings for the NFL have dropped from 57 percent to 44 percent, and it has the highest unfavorable rating – 40 percent – of any big sport, according to the Winston Group survey provided exclusively to Secrets.

Former Evergreen State College Professor Heather Heying summed it up, here:
