No..the fans that walked away from the NFL have not begun to return to the fold. They have been replaced by people who are new to the world of football.
As one who is not returning, I am quite surprised that I no longer even check to see how “MY team” is doing. I no longer want to make a statement but just don’t give a damn, so the NFL just doesn’t exist in my world.
Do I miss it? Yes, I miss what it once was, but don’t care what it has become.
It’s not our game anymore.
Football used to be a bastion for men. Now when you watch the coverage it’s all geared towards attracting more women viewers, starting with the stupid halftime shows.
