I wouldn't use the NFL as a measuring stick, they are just grasping for excuses other than the obvious. I know a lot of people who quit watching this year and it had zero to do with the election. On the other hand, the World Series had their highest ratings in 25 years, so the election didn't hurt them one bit. If multiple people are looking for what you are selling, then there is never a bad time.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
