The NFL may think they can get away with dissing us formerly NFL fan oldsters but they are wrong.
People live a lot longer these days, and someone in their sixties and seventies will be able to watch TV (and _not_ watch the NFL) a lot longer than Goodell will have his contract.
We oldsters also will have plenty of time to harass the NFL advertisers.
The NFL is just seeing the early storm-clouds..Goodell has no clue what is coming at him.
The TV networks also are having to give back advertising time or money to the commercial buyers due to the drop off in viewers promised to the advertisers.. That amounts to significant costs to the nets.
