Considering that this is a BLP it's important not to falsely characterized Kaepernick as the cause of the decline in viewership. The 8% number comes from ESPN quoting" data obtained by ESPN." but not giving the source of the data, and is similar to the drop did viewership in every presidential election year. |

The JD Power survey had nothing to do with that. It was a survey of people who attended games. I repeat, it was a survey of people who actually attended games. They then were asked questions about their TV viewership. Of the people that attended games 10% said they watched fewer games on television, 60% said they watched the same and 30% said they watched more so for every fan who said they were watching less because of the protest there were 10 that were watching more football (30% of the 10% vs. 10% of the 100% because they weren't asked why they were watching more). Among the people who said they were watching less they were asked to choose from a list of reasons one of which had to do with protests. It was not people volunteering their reason. They did not ask that same question to the three times as many but said they were watching more or they may well have found that among people who actually go to games more people watched on TV because of the protest. The 30% that said it was because of protest chose one of the answers from a list of six questions. 18% said it was because of election coverage about the same amount said it was because of too much advertising, 25% said it was because of game delays.

To add to this article: the fact that [[Ben & Jerry's]] created and launched a new ice cream flavor, called "Change the Whirled," with Colin Kaepernick.

Therefore I have removed the part of this page that directly connects the 8% figure that comes from ESPN to the j.d. power survey. Again, the j.d. powers survey was not a survey of TV viewers. It was a Fan Experience survey of people who went to games. Another fact of note is that the 8% figure is in line with what happens in every presidential election cycle. National elections are a factor in football viewership. |

The New Amsterdam Journal is a less-than-stellar source and the LA Times article fails to mention that it was 30% of 10% of people who actually attended games that watched Less on TV. I think it better to delete the passage than to go into a lengthy explanation in the article about how misleading it is and how it gives a false impression about a living person. |

Shouldn't it say "former"
Coolin Rand Kaepernick (/ˈkæpərnɪk/ KAP-ər-nik;[1] born November 3, 1987) is an American civil rights activist and football quarterback who is a free agent" unless this was handled in a previous convo, shouldn't this say "Former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 5 seasons with the 49ers." It's been way past 2 years since he last played and seems like he is not coming back. MichaelFansz (talk) 02:52, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
