blurb I heard on the radio a couple hours back

the reason I say Nascar is their popularity is falling and teams are having a hard time financially as sponsors stop participating.....doesn't the nfl rely on tv contracts and the owners on sponsor money for the riches in the nfl now?

nascar shows the trend that all spectator sports are generally trending downward. I do agree though that the protests are a cherry on top that has some fans going away because I've seen at least two videos of rednecks on Facebook burning their favorite's team gear.

That's nice, but the NFL revenue has been increasing every year. Maybe this year will reverse that trend, but there's no way to know that yet.

just rednecks, no, a whole lot of america is not happy with the actions of the players. I guess all the folks booing at the dallas stadium monday night were rednecks. Some awful rich ones considering what it costs to attend a game in dallas

The Hall of Fame game (the first preseason game where no starters play) drew 8.2 million viewers. More than any NBA playoff game before the NBA finals, and all but 1 MLB playoff game before the World Series.

Football is king. Will a 10% decline in TV ratings support the league at the same level, I don't know. MLB has been dealing with falling ratings for years and still a functioning league.

Regardless, the biggest TV events every year are all NFL. I think we're a few years away from these football players earning a regular salary just like everyone else.

I love football but I am most disappointed in how ungrateful and entitled so many of them are. On the job protests are not appropriate. They are being paid to entertain us. I don't want to see any politics in sports and this is the fault of the coaches & commissioner.

The NFL compared to the Military, which they dishonor.

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2017/09/end-nfl.html

An Army recruit starts off with a salary under $20,000. Thousands of active duty military personnel are on food stamps. Millions of veterans rely on them to feed their families and themselves.

That’s how we treat the best of us. Here’s how we treat the worst of us.

An NFL rookie’s minimum salary is $465,000. And the majority of NFL players are usually bankrupt a few years after retirement because they blew through most of their money. Dozens of NFL players are arrested every year on charges ranging from murder to rape to animal abuse.

2017 was a banner year for the NFL with three times as many arrests as last year.

Along with the usual drunk driving and disorderly conduct arrests, there were 7 arrests for assault/battery, 6 for drugs and 5 for domestic violence.

So is Macy's and Target, and Best Buy, and etc. The world is changing.

I thought adding a little bit of perspective to the ratings would be worthwhile.

So, is ESPN in trouble, or the NFL? Or are networks OK in general, since the 2016 ad revenue generated by the NFL was also the highest ever??

Yet they're at the game, not much of a boycott. They're probably sporting Ezekiel Elliot jerseys and buying $10 beers.

Yes, that must be the only type of people who find the protests Idiotic.
