They still don't "get it."

They say maybe fans are turning it off because the games are too long, too many commercials, presidential election, etc, but don't even mention the obvious reasons.

Shorter games, meaning get rid of instant replay, except in the last two minutes of each half. Bad calls cancel each other out over the course of time.

What do they say about recovery, the first step is to admit you have a problem. NFL not ready for recovery yet.

A halftime flogging of Colin Kaepernick would be a good start.

Have yet to watch a single game, and will not until there are no more negro millionaires disrespecting the country that made them rich.

I haven’t missed football at all.

Not even a little bit.

They should relegate the bottom team in each division to the USFL, each year. Promote top USFL teams to the NFL. / Sarc

My wife just told me she was listening to a sports talk radio show a few minutes ago. They were discussing whether ANY championship sports team would ever go to the White House to meet Trump.

If that comes to pass, that’s going to REALLY help their ratings! Good-bye, professional sports.

Hopefully some smart team owners come out and say “If you choose to do that or even agitate for that, you’re fired and will never play for my team again.”

I think it’s related to politics indirectly. I think this election season as led to another wave of cord cutters who don’t bother with TV. When you don’t watch or have a TV its hard to watch football. They could get a lot of that back by offering better streaming options.

Maybe they need to start a new league for patriotic players.

Hey National Felon League, this is a NO BRAINER, You want Ratings??

Notify EVERY TEAM that if ANY PLAYER Refuse to Stand for the NATIONAL ANTHEM, that Player will be IMMEDIATELY and PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THE NFL, and The COACH and Team Owners will each individually be fined $10 Million Dollars PER INSTANCE.

Failure of ANY fine to be paid within 72 hours will cause the ENTIRE TEAM to be Suspended for the duration of the Season.

Problem Solved.

LOL! First one has to recognize the problem. Then one has to accept the truth of the problem. Only then can one rectify the problem.....

They might not want to have a Spirit Cooking practitioner at their Superbowl Halftime Show.

The might also try being more pro-American and supporting our military without the DOD having to pay them to do it!
