NFL sucks more and more everyday. Not watching this year and didn’t watch last year.

TV ratings and game attendance is dismal, it has been in decline for a couple of years, and this recent negative attention is not helping turn it around. TV ad revenue is directly tied to ratings, and networks are struggling to even make enough money televising games to cover the fees they pay to the NFL for TV rights.

Time will tell but I think some of you are underestimating this. And no doubt some are overestimating it but I don't think it will be a small blip on the radar.

Mark my words. The decline will be real.


I'd be surprised. No doubt today's events will turn some more fans off, but we're talking about mostly billionaire owners here. They will not start to really feel it until revenues decline by at least double digits.

This and once the people and corporations that can afford the season tickets start giving them up, your average NFL fan that only makes $35k a year won’t be able to afford them and there won’t be anyone left to give the tickets away to the average Joe fan.

Attendance will most definitely take a hit.

I can't wait for it to crater. Then we'll get to see the true nature of these overpaid brats.

The ratings aren't dismal . They are down from their peak but still way better than any other sport. Fan attendance is still good for good teams and really bad for bad teams
People blow everything out of proportion

How are tv raitings dismal? Sunday night football is the most watched tv program every week by far. Raitings are down from the massive high point they had a couple of years ago. Raitings are far from dismal.

Yes, yes they will. Do you really expect the mental midgets in pretty uniforms to let this go? They will just make it worse and worse. It's a guarantee. They won't stop until there's no attendance and no viewers. And I promise you, it will plummet by 50% by the time this is over. They are alienating 65% or more of the people that buy tickets and watch the games.

It will be the same as it was with Kapernick after a couple of weeks no one cared. You are assuming everyone that doesn’t agree with the players will stop watching and going, which isn’t going to happen.
