I had to run some Christmas Eve errands today. I saw two guys wearing Dallas Cowboys jerseys. To me, they looked like two guys wearing pink pussy hats.
Bump.
because of the fans who did not make an effort to understand why these protests were happening.
You just can’t fix Stupid!!, The fans understand perfectly well what is going on, that’s why they QUIT!!!
“the NFL’s single most important source of revenue is TV broadcasting rights.”.
Well they don’t need to count my TV as tuned to their channel(s), I stopped watching when the protests started and have ZERO intentions of ever viewing again. Amazing the things you can do instead of watch those fools.

heh heh
That’s what it amounts to. But someone loses $5 billion they were counting on.
Yup,that seems pretty straightforward.However,although I'm not a lawyer you've gotta believe that mention is made in that "master" contract of unforeseen events...like a substantial drop in ratings.In such an event *someone's* gonna take a hit financially because advertisers aren't gonna pay "X" for a "Y" audience only to find that the audience is "Y minus Z".
I have an idea. NFL should structure players contract by linking it to ticket sale
How about ESPN commentators who think fan loyalty is switching to the NBA? Yup, that’s right, the NBA!
As for me, I wish baseball were the biggest sport in the country, but the NFL is still far and away the biggest and most profitable sport in the United States.
The fact that the Ravens actually demonstrated abroad was shocking to many fans. I think this happened in Mexico too, at least once. They sit or kneel for the American Anthem, but stand tall with hand over heart for the British and Mexican Anthems. Any old anthem will do, so long as they can poke the eyes of their own country. Exporting a bad attitude.
I doubt if many English or Mexicans were that impressed.
No doubt many found it amusing.
“I have an idea. NFL should structure players contract by linking it to ticket sale”
An NFL owner has the option to structure a player’s contact based on ticket sales.
However, at lest one of the other NFL team owners my not be on board with your idea and will sign better players than the owner that adopts your idea.
And the NFLPA would never agree to such a CBA.
DANGED GOOD!!! Couldn’t happen to a better group. I quit watching a few years ago. This mess just reinforced my decision!!!
When the Ravens win, we can bring families and the community together.
The EMPTY seats at the San Francisco 49er’s stadium are easy to see.
Seats on the 50 years line are basically empty-—I don’t mean they are half full—I mean they are barely 6 % full.
That stadium cost plenty & I do NOT know how much money the taxpayers will be on the hook for, but this is going to cost plenty.
Ravens’ Mike Wallace wants to flip the bird to the whole stadium.
“Maybe the world would be better off if the felons making up the team had to earn a living doing something other than chase a ball on the playing field.”
If I could chase the ball around the field in a more productive manner than the guys out there, I would be making millions of dollars.
What NFL team is made up of felons?
Can you name felons, that’s more than one felon, who are playing in the NFL?
The ticket sales for next season will be very interesting.....
Not that I know anything about this since I don’t follow pro football and it does utterly nothing for me, but a no show is also a no-$10 beer and a no $17 T-shirt and a no-$5 parking. I’m sure these add-ons are tracked quite carefully as well.
“The ticket sales for next season will be very interesting.....”
The Waiting List for Baltimore Ravens season tickets is 20 min years.
There are 73,000 people on the waiting list for Denver Bronco’s season tickets.
The New Orleans Saints have 70,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets.
