Viagra won't advertise on NFL games, signaling softening ad market
Yahoo ^ | July 10, 2017 | Jay Busbee

Last year, the NFL’s declining ratings, in the face of zombie hordes, presidential campaign fatigue, and general public indifference (along with, maybe, a touch of political protest), dominated much of the early-season conversation. Ratings rebounded as the year wore on, however, and the Super Bowl pulled in its usual nine-figure viewer total.

But now we’re seeing the reverberations of that ratings slip, as well as other indications of a break in the ever-increasing ad market, and the news isn’t ideal for the NFL and its broadcast partners.

NFL is toxic for ads.

ESPN is toxic for ads.

I’ve been NFL-free for 2 seasons now. Hubby went cold turkey last year. There is life after the NFL. Who knew!

Now if we can get them to stop advertising on MLB broadcasts. Viagra, Cialis and all related products are all over that. If I had an eight-year old son who liked baseball I’d have a big problem on my hands.

Dear NFL,

More Tim Tebow, less Colon Kaepernick.

Then I’ll come back.

While I’m at it, one other suggestion: Get rid of the talking heads at halftime. Have a marching band. High school, college, either’s fine.

I did it in the mid 80s.

Apparently I still haven’t missed anything.

These kinds of threads always start out with a rush of blood to the senses, but then tend to go limp around about Post #69.
