Nailed it.
nfl: No Future League
That’s a good one. :D
We need to laugh the nfl out of existence!
Agreed!
Singing “Goodell Got Run Over By a Hockey Fan” on Christmas Day.
“Deck the halls with balls of Goodell, falalalala, yada, yada, yada.”
Why do football kneelers get kneepads for Christmas? You don’t want to know.
South Park nailed the NFL a couple of weeks ago. Though Trey & Matt have also gone bat-crap anti-Trump, the scenes were hilarious.
The NFL was counting on the SP elementary school’s special education science fair project that showed tardigrades (a microscopic water creature) or “water bears” were not only among the toughest creatures on earth, but could evolve. They appeared to be inquisitive, and when a tiny Fed-Ex box was introduced into their environment, they opened the box, and got all excited when they found microscopic NFL team jerseys. So the NFL realized they had a whole new fan base!
Cut to a stadium, filled with small goldfish bowls, and about 5 people. The announcers say how wonderful it is that the NFL is able to sell out stadiums again, and this time, with a record setting 17 million attendees.

What the NFL has to fear is TV ratings that slump badly enough, for long enough, that the next round of negotiations with the networks is about how much less they will pay for the rights to broadcast NFL games under the new contract, not how much more.
I'm afraid that someone who wished the NFL ill would have been hard pressed to do it a worse turn than keeping Goodell at the helm for several more years.
Remember the days when the games couldn’t be broadcast in the home market unless the stadiums were sold out?

Yep. 1965 Browns @ Cowboys in late Nov. game in the Cotton Bowl. Dandy Don’s pass that would have tied the game, (after extra point) was intercepted at Browns’ end zone. .....Extremely cold for Dallas (maybe 15*) and we were in front row of upper deck with a stiff wind.
Blackouts were within 75 miles if not sold out a few days in advance. The cold weather spell had many fans hibernating. Engineers at my employer designed a “broomstick” antenna to pull in the signal. ...I drilled the holes and cut the coat hangers to varying lengths to insert in the holes.
Spent a couple of hours the day before the game on the roof of my parents’ house installing that antenna and hooking it up to the TV antenna line. (Like to froze to death!)
Weather was bad, but my folks were able to pick up spotty TV coverage from a TV station in Shreveport LA.
