This post might eventually be moved up and will be refined when the numbers do finally come in on places like Sports Media Watch.
That said, it is clear the NFL is stuck in the middle on an NFL boycott.
You have those on the White Right who are boycotting until Colin Kaepernick and his ilk are "dealt with" (and I'll take that about as far as it will go, up to and including wanting him lynched), with an increasing number of African-Americans taking the other side of the equation and organizing a boycott of their own.
One thing is clear though: At least as of noon this afternoon, major sites which follow these numbers do not have any numbers on Week 1 of the NFL season.
Hurricane Irma is the main cause, as Reuters points out the main Nielsen offices are in Tampa Bay, which was scheduled to take a near-direct-hit from Irma.
So, we shall wait a bit longer while far more important matters are taken care of.
But let's still at least put on the table the fact that dual boycotts could get quite messy this year.
