NFL ratings have been steadily declining for way more reasons than Kaepernick.
1. The games often suck and are uncompetitive.
2. Too many rules and fines. People didn't dub the NFL the "No Fun League" for no reason.
3. Excessive injuries, especially concussions.
4. Scandals, such as Ray Rice and Deflategate.
5. People are cutting the cord and switching to streaming services. TV ratings as a whole are declining.
Kaepernick was nothing more than a scapegoat. Now it's bigger than that, and several players, teams, coaches, owners, and even the NFL commissioner have issued statements admonishing Trump. He should have kept his nose out of it.
