>> NFL football as such has become a completely corrupt institution. That includes their farm system, college football. <<

Not to worry, a bunch of loudmouths are our side swore up and down that they were "boycotting" the NFL and that "nobody is watching anymore" and there were "tons of empty seats in the stadiums"

Pay no attention to those record profits and ratings for the NFL!

After drops of 14% and 9%, the NFL is seeing an increase, and for the 2nd year in a row, have had a 5% increase.

That 5% for 2 years does not begin to make up for the massive losses they’ve had.

They are at approximately 86% of where they were when they fell. Record profits? Maybe. But, that’s because of lucrative TV deals, not due to ticket sales. Ticket sales have plummeted. They removed the rule a few years back that made it so if you didn’t sell out the stadium, you couldn’t air the game locally. Always had some local schlubs that would buy up the last few tickets.
