Core football audience is men 34-54.
If young people don’t care about the anthem controversy, it doesn’t matter. The people who count seem to actually care. That’s bad for the NFL.

My point is that those young people will eventually age into that core audience. So if the NFL is patient...
A bit off-topic, but I wonder if the NFL will even be around 10 years from now. Not because of the anthem protests, but because of the head injury lawsuits that are sure to come. A few of those lawsuits at the college and high school level will wreck the NFL feeder pattern.
Early 20s is more important, they’re the ones that are going to be the core audience. And it’s also the generation that’s been abandoning TV and sports which is why rating are down everywhere. Winning that demographic wins the future.
