According to a new Fox News poll, the National Rifle Association is more popular than the National Football League. Shocker, right?
The Breakdown
The NFL's favorability rating has dropped considerably over the last four years. In 2013, 64 percent had a positive view of the league. Fast forward to 2017 and that number has dropped 18 points to 46 percent.
“If the NFL were a political candidate, alarm bells would be going off in campaign headquarters,” said Democratic Pollster Chris Anderson who conducted the Fox News Poll with Republican Pollster Daron Shaw.
The poll confirms what the average American already knew: that conservative white men are more likely to disagree with football players kneeling in protest during the National Anthem. On the other hand, the poll also confirms that minority liberals are more likely than their counterparts to think that kneeling is an acceptable form of protest.
But even more surprising: the NRA is more popular than the NFL. 49 percent of those who were polled favored the gun rights group.
HA! A Major Gun Advocacy Group Is More Popular Than The NFL
