NFL TV contract worth $3 billion (with a B) in 2011. I estimate that the NFL had 140 million fans then (45% of the US population). Assuming that each fan watched half the games available to him, it is as if 70 million watched all the games. So each fan watching 100% was worth about $43.

I watchED about 75% (Both Sunday afternoon games and about half of the night games) so I WAS worth a little over thirty bucks a year to the NFL until the second week of this season.

That's money they're not going to get back until they dismiss Goodell and reduce minority participation on the field to 25% or less.
