I don’t think of cheerleaders as “the NFL”


I have zero issue with this. I have zero interest in it, either. I’ve always thought NFL cheerleading was goofy

They broke Trump by refusing to grant a franchise.

You are so right. His life turned out pretty terrible too.

The first good point I’ve ever seen you make. Seriously. Well done.


Though...he did seem to recover well. You know. President and all.

Doesn't seem like he made much impact at all on the NFL.

Gawd, the NFL doesn't realize what it's doing to itself.

The worst thing the NFL can do is try to become politically correct.

They've already shot themselves in the foot multiple times over the anthem and we see the end result.

Oh well... let them continue the downward spiral

If you have cable, it doesn't matter if you watch or not.

Boycotting the NFL is a hell of a lot harder than you think. You have to basically live off the grid to ensure that not a dollar of yours goes to the NFL.

It feels really good not having watched an NFL game in over a year. I think Philadelphia won the SB but I only know that because I think that’s what I heard people say. I honestly cannot name a single player for Philadelphia.

No desire to watch. There are just too many other things that I enjoy.

The NFL broke itself. Trump just put the magnifying glass on it.

Um...

The average NFL franchise is worth $2.5 billion, up 8% by FORBES’ count over last year. The Dallas Cowboys were the only NFL team worth $2 billion five years ago. Now all but five of the NFL’s 32 teams are worth at least $2 billion

The NFL isn’t going anywhere. But if you only made 8 percent last year you did a lot worse than most in the market.

Ratings affect advertising dollars which is a huge cash cow. It also affects future tv rights contracts. Couple that with decreased ticket sales and merch and you're talking about huge losses.
