Nobody Went To Watch The 49ers Again

I suppose at some point this will qualify as beating a dead horse, but holy smokes, man, nobody went to watch the 49ers last night.

Hahaha. The nfl apparently is anti-American and anti-civil-society. Hahaha. There is much more to life than watching overpaid-ingrates and irritating commercials. Hahaha.

I watched some of the 1st half & I commented to my wife that cameras were NOT showing the crowd which led me to believe, rightly so as it turns out, that attendance was less than preferred.

A 49ers ticket and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.

Incredible.

The Rams are playing to a half full LA Coliseum.

The Chargers, during their first season in LA, can’t sell out their temporary home in a 27,000 seat soccer stadium.

Are other cities having trouble too?

I know apologists will say that tickets are paid for, but there are some no shows at every game. And talk about big news stories keeping people away from the game, plus not watching on TV, as the TV ratings are falling.

At a minimum all the FL based teams and Cincinnati.

They do this in racing all the time, tight shots so one can not see the crowd, or lack there of.

The reality is that TV and cable are dying. They tried to use football to save themselves. But they are actually bringing football down as millennials refuse to watch TV and refuse to pay for cable. You add to that boomers who don’t like the knee and new football rules that take the fun out of the game, causing the game to go the way of baseball.

The one thing saving football is that there really isn’t any mass market competitor. Especially when it comes to advertising to men.

What’s up with that field-sized American flag? Are they trying to pretend that they are patriotic, to restore their fan base? Too little, too late, IMO.
