Tickets to see the Dallas Cowboys later this month are going for as little as $10…

Cut that in half and I might consider it.

As much as I'd like to blame the ticket price drop on the boycott, the fact is, the playoff picture is just about complete. The teams that didn't make the cut still have games left, so they sell their tix dirt cheap to get people to them.

The boycott may have had SOME to do with it (it sure as hell ain't helping ticket sales), but I don't believe that is entirely the case in this...case.

How come they don’t make a woman the commissioner of the NFL ? Are they sexist ?

[stinkerpot65]

NFL and ESPN are either leftist scum or cowards.

Good. They can sell them at the $1 store.

Not to me, of course.

Roger Goodell: the man who brought down the most successful sports franchise in history.

Quite a legacy. Similar to the career path of General Electric’s Jeff Imelt bringing that company and Jimmy Kimmel destroying his own ratings.

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.

The NFL can survive a long time with low ticket sales. Because, as Dallas Cowboys GM Texas E. "Tex" Schramm, a formed CBS Sports honcho, figured out 50 odd years ago, the NFL's destiny is not to be a spectator sport, but a television show, with a live studio audience that numbers tens of thousands. Certainly the NFL would rather have 60,000+ in attendance for each TV show it produces, but TV revenue is the NFL. Ticket sales, parking and concessions as merely supplemental income.

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.
