ESPN Misrepresents Results from Their Own Poll Which Shows That Fans Are Sick of Anthem Protests

The basic math of this story is easy to follow: ESPN conducts a poll on anthem protests, ESPN doesn't like results of the poll on anthem protests, therefore ESPN deliberately misrepresents the results from the poll on anthem protests.
With its new Global Strategy Group poll, ESPN states that Americans "are divided in their attitudes" about the NFL's protests during the playing of the national anthem. However, far from "divided," many of the results find Americans far more united in their negative feelings about the protests.
The poll found that a lopsided majority disapprove of the anthem protests, with 51 percent either somewhat or strongly disapproving of the anthem protests, while only 39 percent approved. If this were a political poll, a 51-39 disparity would be called a definitive, and direct statement. Even a predictor of certain electoral victory.
Moreover, had the poll found that 51 percent of people approved of the anthem protests, this poll would have been celebrated and paraded on every show across every platform ESPN has.
Yet, because this result doesn't fit ESPN's narrative, the results get described as "mixed" or "divided." ...
