And I listed some, player protests, CTE, cord cutting...


Only affects MNF as others have clearly stated. The rest are available for free in their local markets, and even the first 8-9 weeks of Thursday Night Football are available on CBS.

Cord cutting hurts ESPN more than anything, not CBS/FOX/NBC for their national channels with local affiliates.

And just wait for those affiliates to start bitching to the networks...once that happens Goodell and the owners are going to be dealing with unhappy network executives instead of the players

Well don't cord cutters need to get a digital antenna to watch networks? Or does it come with the various packages like Sling PSVue etc? If you need to get an antenna then I'd imagine not everyone does that.

Cord cutting actually does hurt the broadcast channels. I would venture to guess that MANY of the people who just say "no more" to cable don't realize that they can still get the network channels for free and even fewer still probably go out and get an antenna, even as cheap and easy as they are now. I think most of those people just hook up the roku/fire tv and are content with netflix/hulu/etc...
