Poll: Nearly half of NFL fans would stop watching games over protests

Colin Kaepernick's protest of the national anthem has inspired many others to follow suit, both in the NFL in beyond.

Not everyone supports the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, though, and some fans are apparently so against the protests that they're willing to give up watching football altogether if they continue.

A recent poll of 1,128 Americans conducted by Yahoo Sports and YouGov revealed that 44 percent of fans claim they would stop watching NFL games if players continue to kneel during the anthem. Overall, 47 percent of those polled said they oppose Kaepernick's protest, with 32 percent voicing support, and the remaining 21 percent either neutral or declining to answer.
