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.
