For all the possible causes listed in the article, I think all of those issues combined have caused the NFL to hit a tolerance critical-mass and people are just sick of their dreck.

Yet they are about to give the Comishoner (Goodell) a 7 year extension. This is the guy who threatened Texas for trying to pass a law that would keep dudes out of girls bathrooms and showers.

I’ve noticed Football commercials on YouTube for the first time, and more on TV as well.

They’re hurting and are looking to bring in an audience. I don’t remember seeing this much marketing in the past.

The commissioners, forgot that their product had consumers. The consmers were flag loving patriots. Pretty simple. Players are paid to PLAY. Part of the game is to respect the flag, or go to a country where they can proudly salute. Good day.

CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves, for one, isn't worried about the drop-off in NFL TV audiences,

Full speed ahead, said the captain of the Titanic. This ship in unsinkable.

“Fox, CBS and Comcast signed a $27 billion deal with the NFL.” Then a few players publicly displayed their hatred and disgust with American patriotism. Then the few players were not punished by NFL management. And then a few players repulsed millions of fans, including me. Sad how a simple rule gets ignored: American families and American patriots increase profits.

Supporting the NFL until they discipline the unpatriotic players is treason.

Watching ESPN until they fire Jemele Hill is supporting her kind of hatred.

Last year I usually watched two or three NFL games a week. This year, zero NFL games a week. It was easy to walk away.

(But I will admit to going to sports sites occasionally, and checking the game scores.)

If a bunch of disrespectful big black dudes want to act like a$$hole they have the right to do so. The White dudes also have the right not to watch the NFL. Now the tricky part is who pays the bills? Advertisement, tickets, and memorabilia, no White dudes none of the above.

ESPN reportedly pays $1.9 billion per year for the rights to “Monday Night Football,” a 73 percent increase over the previous contract. “””

I’m no exec but I think I’ve spotted a problem...

There are other causes as well.

The games nowadays take 3 1/2 hours to play. There are far more commercials on the games now than years ago.

We live in a culture in which people seem to have shorter attention spans. How many sit down to watch a 3 1/2 hour TV show of any kind?

Nowadays, all TVs have remote controls, which make it easy to change channels, and click away from the game during the interminable commercial breaks. With more channels than ever before, some people may find something of interest and not get back to the game.

It’s tedious to watch some games, what with continual commercial time outs, so many penalties called, which stops the game, time consuming replay reviews.
