Seems like i hear this every day....

One month into its 2019 season, the league's viewership is up around 5% compared to this time last year, attracting an average of roughly 16 million viewers across the league's network partners, according to Nielsen data. The NFL's viewership is also up 8% from 2017 and down just 1% from 2016

The absolute state of pro sports in the US:

The NFL - fake, but entertaining

The MLB - real, but boring

The NBA - fake, and boring

NBA- Fake and entertaining

NFL- Fake and unwatchable. Penalties for hitting the QB too hard

MLB- Real, but rather watch paint dry

ETA: NHL- Real, entertaining, not for cucks

Just more evidence there are more gamblers and fantasy players than actual fans.

I play fantasy and don't even watch the games. Just read stats and message boards. The games might as well be computer generated.

Officiating is horrid throughout all sports. It's not about being rigged, it's about being incompetent.

Stay off the Saints board and you won't hear it nearly as much.

NBA = real, but dramatic/ occasionally ignorant ( entertaining)

NFL = fake, entertaining but not for good reasons of late

NHL = real, entertaining, too white for current society

Rugby = real, entertaining, alpha sport. If you argue this you are a beta

Edit:

MLB = real, hormonal, bitchy. Entertaining to make fun of.

There is absolutely nothing worth a damn on network TV anymore.

The product on the field keeps getting worse but there is no competition. The NFL (and other pro sports leagues) are monopolies so they can get away with shite that could never fly in an actual market.

Plus, fans are emotionally attached to their teams. Emotion overrides logic.

Regardless, theses leagues are doing long term damage to themselves even if it's not as immediately visible in the short term.

I won both my fantasy leagues before Monday and didn’t legitimately didn’t even consider watching the game last night.

If either league was close I would have enjoyed every second of the game.
