This does not look good for the NFL but they can afford to have very few people show up to games for a season. In the long run, the NFL is counting on this blowing over and not impacting the most significant form of revenues for each team: network TV contracts, Microsoft and Direct TV.

Actually, falling TV ratings are making the NFL's corporate sponsors and broadcast partners uneasy. What will happen when the sponsors and broadcast partners want to re-negotiate their financial deals at the same time the NFL could be facing a revolt from season ticket holders and stadium suite holders? :-O

No wonder why I think there is a move to oust Roger Goodell as NFL Commissioner.

If the stadiums are empty, why aren’t games being blacked out?
