The XFL could be going into a rough weekend for ratings. Viewership has dropped consistently from the first week to the third week and now things may go haywire. The good news is that at least the Saturday games are on broadcast television, but a confluence of factors could lead to some bad numbers.
Momentum
An object in motion tends to stay in motion. The motion of these ratings isn’t a good sign for the XFL. They are down over 50 percent from Week 1 to Week 3. We don’t know what bottom is so we can’t say things will be fine. Ratings could drop like the stock market looking for support.
We probably won’t know where the bottom is this week because it’s particularly difficult for some other reasons.
