Don’t count on it. The NFL is hell-bent on making the NFL Brand global. They are jealous of the global success of the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

And, that is precisely why American “football” will never catch-on elsewhere in the world, save for a small band of aficionados!

And, as far as boomers are concerned, they at least saw football when it was truly competitive; and defensive backs weren’t trying to tackle 200 lb. running-backs and receivers with arm-tackles around the shoulders, so the defenders won’t get hurt!

Goodell needs to stick his head up and check which way the winds are blowing. Globalist expansion is going to face a lot of problems, and it’s going to get worse as time goes on.

This. The people that are currently watching the NFL, and have been, are going to watch the Super Bowl no matter who the halftime act is, even if they complain about it. "Bring back Elvis Presto and the Grambling State Marching Band!"

Acts like Bad Bunny is exactly what you said, attempts to reach a global market.

Face it. It's just not our demographic anymore.
