I love Kaep and all but the fact that certain people are acting like he is the reason behind the low ratings is just hilarious to me
A lot of viewers are moving to streaming
Ratings - Super Bowl LIII Draws Total Viewership of 100.7 Million | TheFutonCritic.com
"Super Bowl LIII was watched on CBS in all-or-part* by 149.0 million (Persons 2+) viewers on an all-or-part basis according to Nielsen's Fast Total Audience Estimates.
Streaming coverage of Super Bowl LIII set viewership records, with the game streamed across more platforms than ever. Across 7.5 million unique devices, up +20% from last year, viewers consumed more than 560 million total minutes of live game coverage, up +19% from last year. The average minute audience of 2.6 million viewers during the game window is up +31% year-over-year." [via press release from CBS]
And thats just counting legal streams
so, about 7.5 million fewer people watched it on TV but 1.5 million more people streamed it. Net loss of 6 million viewers unless there were many more illegal streamers. Why would someone stream it illegally though if there were so many different options to stream legally. Do all of the apps that streamed it cost money?
Brah, you can't even listen to regular season NFL games of your local team on free aps enabling you to tune into local radio broadcasts (commercials included) of them without them silencing the stations throughout game time. I tried that a few years ago on iHeartradio I believe it was, and the NFL had clamped down on it even though it was ultimately no different than listening to the game with an actual radio. Promptly deleted the ap after that, as I have absolutely zero use for an ap to play commercials and crappy mainstream radio music. So that being said, I'd be shocked to see them allow free legal streaming of the games, let alone the Superbowl.
Also, who's Kaep, OP? The name sort of rings a bell, but I can't seem to quite put my finger on it. Maybe some guy who has been out of the league for a few years now?

Who is acting like Kaepernick is the issue with the ratings? He is irrelevant, much like his cause AFAIC.
The ratings were down because people are tired of the Patriots, felt the Rams got in through the back door, and generally felt it was a poor matchup. Guaranteed had it been Saints/Chiefs.....better game/ratings.
I love Kaep
A Saints/Chiefs match-up would have been dynamite.Who is acting like Kaepernick is the issue with the ratings? He is irrelevant, much like his cause AFAIC.

Even the commercials were lame.
Most people don't watch as fans of a team - they watch to see the Patriots lose!!!!!

This was the matchup the NFL wanted. They made sure it happened . They desperately wanted the rams in the superbowlWho is acting like Kaepernick is the issue with the ratings? He is irrelevant, much like his cause AFAIC.
