Agreed.
I was an NFL fan for 48 years. for years I paid for DirecTV's outrageously overpriced NFL Sunday Ticket and devoted my after-church Sunday time to the games.
No more. The NFL is dead to me.
Problem is, we are few and far between. In spite of some waking up and forsaking the NFL, the overwhelming majority of fans will never give it up. Stadium attendance, while somewhat down from last year, remains mostly full. And I'll bet my paycheck that every playoff game will be sold out and the SB will be as big a deal as ever.
Nice post. What we need to see is real viewership numbers. Like you , lifelong fan , but didn’t watch any games on that weekend. Used y
To watch 2 on Sunday, mon night, and Thursday. Now only watch Cowboys when they are on. Even then recorded the boycott day game.
The media will not really publish all the stats regarding all forms of viewership, sales, etc as its going down.
Couple that with no real reporting on the mistake of allowing social justice to override the on the books protocal Re the anthem. Instead we get them not even showing the anthem to avoid the issue.
Sports is being used by BLM etc to further defile the honor due to those who gave their lives or service to allow a bunch of not much older than kids to foolishly not realize they had 8 years of the messiah to rectify their perceptions but instead he stirred them to keep the divide growing
I started watching NFL at my father’s feet, when it was in black and white, with no instant replay, and stars like Y. A. Tittle and Johnny Unitas. I was a faithful fan until September 2016; I have not watched a game since. I recently tried looking at scores and standings and found I no longer care. The monkey is off my back. Sunday afternoons are MINE again.
It doesn't matter - as long as the intelligent among us see the scam for what it is and leave it behind, more will eventually follow.
