The NFL (and Roger Goodell) need to realize that the public is beginning to realize that they're full of shite and they need to slow their roll.
You're not pussifying the game because you are concerned about safety. You got busted for not giving a shite about your former employees and now you need to CYA.
There is no "public mandate" for an 18-game schedule or more Thursday night games. This is all about lining YOUR pockets, so just freaking be honest about it.
They are so condescending and paternalistic. They've reached the point where they think they know better, and they can just ignore public opinion and tell people that "this is what you really want."
They have not reached the tipping point yet, but when they do, you have to think that they will be smart enough to back off and avoid the implosion.

You don't think increasing ratings is an indicator that the public wants more games? Thursday Night Football ratings increased 10% from '12-'13. So it's not as unpopular as some people want it to be.
The fallacy in Cuban's argument is the schedule has been more or less the same over the last several years. Sure they've added more Thursday games, but they've been playing Saturdays during the dead period in NCAA football for years.
The only thing that's changing next season is that CBS is going to simulcast half of the Thursday night games.
Sounds to me like he has sour grapes because the NFL is killing the NBA in ratings.
