Isn’t it amazing they don’t mention the politicization of Football being a turnoff? Breast cancer awareness? That’s too much. Their attempts to make football more appealing to women has made football less appealing to women who like football. Another thing they didn’t mention is the injury issue. How many parents are keeping their kids away from football for fear of concussions if they play and to have to watch spoiled millionaires disrespect their nation if they watch the NFL?

Funny you should mention it. Hockey is a great sport, all the excitement of the NFL once you learn the game. But history repeats. NHL used to be on TV wall-to-wall, but TV viewership died from overexposure. NFL is following in NHL's footsteps.

male sexual enhancement products account for sales not meeting expectations
So expectations were not met because male enhancement was soft? They came up short? No one was pushing the product? Or will they have to withdraw?

Overexposure? I’m not the only guy I know who wishes NFL could be on year round. Still can’t get enough.

I'm a 40 year season ticket (4) holder with a team in the AFC West. This is probably my last year to renew ... in large measure attributable to the NFL becoming politicized by the antics of a low life abject scum like Colin Kapernick. Forty years is probably a good time to bail ...

Kaeperdick is still busy insulting America and flogging his politically correct causes, even while his apologists pretend that he wants to get a QB position in the NFL and will behave this time. He chose JULY 4 to announce that he could not respect America's "Independence Day" but instead had to go "home" to ....... GHANA.
And his pathetic apologists wonder why no NFL team seems eager to employ him?
Colin Kaepernick travels 'home' to Ghana to find 'personal independence'

My personal feelings haven’t watched a game since the knee I’m pretty sure. Regardless of personal feelings if I’m entertaining a client I’d shy away from football. I have yet to see that crap in ihl or nhl and would bet on some serious instant karma if I did.

The NHL is doing themselves no favors by promoting "rainbow" stick tape.
Oh and penalizing a player for saying an "anti-gay" slur.
I don't know what planet liberals live on, but 90% of professional level sports is talent and skill.
The rest is getting inside the other guys head, and if you can call him some kind of "fag" and it BOTHERS him, you better believe the guy will use it on his opponent.

It isn’t just Kaepnerick. Every dumbass who has a microphone now considers himself or herself God’s gift to social awareness and people are just sick of the whole sermonizing puppet show. Just shut up and play.
To: EDINVA
Does anyone think Kaepernick can undo the damage hes caused? Or the 49ers and NFL for supporting his free expression of his anti-USA hatred?
And so many players supported him showing their true feelings about the fans that pay their salary

I live overseas, so I don’t get to see a lot of the NFL games, but I went back to the US for a visit last year and was looking forward to having a few cold ones and watching a bunch of games. Colon, and the NFL’s disgraceful handling of it, turned me off and didn’t watch a single game last year while I was home.

I like the fact that not only Kaepernick, but the NFL is feeling the financial results of their actions. The NFL could have stopped this, but they chose instead to fan the flames. I won’t cry if their house burns down.

I am an NFL fan. Packers are my team. But I have to admit feeling a down turn in my interest like many others. I used to watch every NFL game I could, two or three on Sunday and another on Monday. I couldn't get enough of it. But like you, my interest level has waned. I now mostly watch my home team and maybe one other game on some weeks only. I have some theories why I've lost interest:
- The NFL got rid of real training camp. It used to be a month or more longer with lots of real hitting. Now it's minimal contact drills. The result of that is that the players are not ready for the start of the season and the first month of the season frankly sucks. It's basically preseason level football with guys still figuring out the playbooks. If I gambled I would avoid betting in September like the plague because it's full of weird upsets. And the gutting of training camp is why.
- By the time the NFL product starts getting good (October) it's time for pink everything. At first it was one or two teams and it felt like they were supporting a good cause. Now it seems like they want to sell more jerseys and it turns me off.
- After suffering through the awful September and the self righeous marketing scheme of pink October, politics becomes apparant. Politics of the players is irritating, the announcers and the pundits talking of nothing else makes it more so. I don't watch to get a lecture and I don't want one.
- Officials. They shouldn't be deciding the outcome of games. They shouldn't be giving away huge plays with bogus interference calls based on nothing contact. They do in every single game. The long bomb used to be an exciting play, now it's just a penalty. Boring and infuriating.
That's just a few.

Call me a chauvinist, but I am sick of a woman commentator being on every NFL program. Every single one. It’s the equivalent of having a man speaking in every feminine hygiene product commercial. PC is killing everything from sports to our entire country.
To: Arm_Bears
On day one of the ‘knee-business’, there should have been a NFL-corporate team to analyze the business effect and lay out the problem ahead. You get the impression that marketing is something that the NFL does in some haphazard way and they really don’t know their customer or the product.
To: Hojczyk
Roger Goodell is just terrible as the commish. During the draft, this year and last.. he was booed every time he appeared.. so I’m just pointing out that in addition to kapernick. Goodell is awful.
