Some 30 percent of NFL fans say they’re watching less, according to a new survey.

Half of those self-described “fans of the NFL” said that they’re watching less because of players protesting during the national anthem, according to the Seton Hall Sports Poll, conducted by The Sharkey Institute. Some 52 percent said that they disagreed with the protests, according to the New York Post.
