Fox just paid $600 million for the rights to broadcast 10 Thursday night games next year. 10 games. The NFL is fine. Let that sink in.
That does not mean people are going to watch those games. When FOX loses money or does not make enough money to justify the expenditures guess what happens?
The NFL was able to hide their losses this season but next season it's going to be really clear they have lost a huge number of fans and those fans will not be coming back. Next season is going to be devastating and will begin the end of the NFL
