eventually.

Goodell / owners are searching for ways to increase revenue at the detriment to the overall product

Examples:

18 game season proposal

expanded playoff proposal

expanded thursday night schedule + TV rights

moving the draft, extending the draft

games / expansion team proposals for London

trying to move teams to LA

continued over-reach on the local TV blackout rule

Neutering defense via rules to promote more scoring/viewership

Ridiculous pink gear for a month

Ridiculous "color rush" jerseys

Trying to cater to non-core fans like women and shitlibs

More TV timeouts for commercials

Trying to get a cut of the Super Bowl halftime show performer tour revenue post-Super Bowl

Eventually all this greed is going to catch up to the sport. I say that as a huge fan. These guys aren't content with reaping ridiculous profits, they just want more and more. They really ought to stop fucking with a good thing

Until soccer players start dropping dead from permanent brain injuries it will never be as popular as football. We basically watch those fuckers kill themselves. The only thing that could make it better is we just cut the pretense and just handed out swords.

yeah the growth-at-all-costs thing is what gets me. You see it in public markets all the time when investors crush companies that won't grow double digits every year. So companies fling shit against the wall to satisfy the quarterly rush.

But this is a private monopoly, just fucking enjoy the low single digit growth in revenue and your pre-eminent sport status in the country

when there's literally a football game every night where teams just march down the field every 3 minutes for a touchdown since the defenders can't actually tackle anybody

and it costs $1000 for a family to attend a game in the nosebleeds

And you have to pony up $3k for a direct tv subscription to watch

and their lapdogs ESPN have a story on Tebow / Johnny Football / insert QB here every single day 24 hours a day during the offseason

i used to think so, but the NFL has become a secular religion for a lot of people. the bigger risks are farther in the future, since HS/youth football participation has been dropping for six years so far.

also shitmillenials probably don't watch all that much football

I agree the NFL is getting greedy as fuck. That said a lot of the changes they've made over the last 5-10 years to turn it into flag football have coincided with a massive burst in popularity. I suspect the people above are right when they say that it will take at least another decade before the NFL starts declining as football loses its dominance among non-Southern youth.

Fantasy has definitely driven a lot of the current burst in popularity. Also the media explosion of stuff like the Longest Yard Remake, Friday Night Lights (+ show), and even the shift in ESPN coverage to stuff that boils down to "FOOTBALL!!!!!" can only go on for so long before people get burnt out.
