The Obama economy is also impacting the NFL.
There are football stadiums that were once overflowing with NFL fans that are now somewhat empty during games.
Look at any sporting event. They all have lots of empty seats. MLB is really hurting. Add to that, teams have been raising ticket prices while most of the folks who would go to a game are more concerned about putting food in the fridge than going to a game.
These days I much prefer a high school football game, a minor league baseball game, or the local dirt track races.
