As Roger Goodell, Jerry Jones, and the NFL engage in an ugly internal fight over the future leadership of the NFL, TV partners at CBS, ESPN, Fox and NBC are staring at their own internal conflicts — namely a substantial decline in NFL ratings that is on pace to cost the four networks up to $500 million in lost revenue.
Already several hundred million in lost revenue has been booked in 2017 and it has the league’s top executives and television partners scrambling to figure out what went wrong. How did a league that was setting ratings records in 2015 suddenly see its audience fall by nearly 20% just two years later.

While the NFL spent a great deal of time celebrating its return to the nation’s second largest city the reality is this, the Rams and the Chargers have brought down television ratings in Los Angeles, costing the league’s TV partners tens of millions of dollars in tenths of ratings points by themselves....Because over the past generation without the NFL in LA, the city received the best games every week.
Football on Saturdays is much better viewing. All the major games are available so if say the SEC game on CBS sucks one can simply change channels to a better game.
That’s not what we told last week when the supposed “Veteran’s Day boycott” backfired.
I have but one thing to say.........GOOD!
The problem with Football is that pizza is cheap and bland, and since people like to eat, and pizza now sucks....nobody is watching the NFL..../s
Goodell is the top idiot, but their entire management is dwelling in an entitled, elitist, media bubble.
I'm amazed Goodell has as much power as he does, and is even able to threaten Jerry Jones. Its like a soviet power-struggle in the Kremlin.
Waaaaaah!!!
It is one of the reasons for declining ratings, they believe, not THE reason.
There is agreement that the NFL needs to find a resolution to the protests, but the most alarming thing for the league and its TV partners is simply eliminating the protest won’t return the NFL to its ratings golden era, just two short years past.
There’s a significant belief that the league’s TV partners, who are facing up to $500 million in losses this year, need a fundamental restructuring of TV windows to avoid losing even more money in the years ahead.
Can the NFL reclaim its ratings mojo?
Maybe, but not without some substantial changes.
Gee, what could it be? What has been the most profound change that has occurred in the last 2 years? Let me think...
F-cking morons. Boy, talk about whistling past the graveyard while ignoring the elephant in the room!
the Chargers had it good in San Diego and turned their backs on the city and their fans...karma what goes around comes around.
Is that a wig....?...how does he get that hairpeice into the helmet...?
Thugball is going down...
I love the NFL's "logic" - have no teams in LA for years because the local fans are notoriously lukewarm about the NFL. Then, relocate not one, but TWO, teams there & wonder what went wrong. It's a mystery, all right.
Only $500 million????

Easy, NFL was the one of our few escape zones from non stop liberal Anti-Americanism, now its ruined. Thanks ESPN and Goodell.
