But the NFL would still have multiple, fundamental problems -- It's far too expensive for many to attend games. The level of play seems to keep decreasing (they really need to eliminate like 4 teams). There are only about 15 minutes of actual action in a 3+ hour game. They are over-saturating TV viewers with games on Thursdays, all day & night Sunday, and Monday night. The concussion issue is turning more away from football in general. And other assorted problems that existed before people like Kaepernick decided to open his yap.
If it were not for gamblers, and maybe fantasy footballers, there would be no NFL.
+1, great post. Most games are frankly boring as hell. My children and their cousins are so wrapped up in fantasy football, I want to scream. Local sports talk radio is 24/7 Cowboys...thankfully, college hoops is around the corner.
