It's mainly oversaturation, the protests, and in October and November, it's all the causes they shove down everyone's throat. People just want to watch a football game for three hours, not pretend to cure cancer, virtue signal for the troops, Play 60, or see ads for illegal Jose play Futbol Americano. They also have toned the production and marketing down a lot to make it more appealing for women and girls. The problem with that is that you alienate your core audience, plus it's really cornball and faggy. Look at the intros from the 80s and 90s and compare those with whatever Carrie Underwood abomination NBC has now.

The media talks about the NFL from Mid July on, not to mention a lot during the rest of the offseason, Then there are games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights, plus college Thursday, Fri. and Saturday from 9 am until 11 pm. KJR and the major national radio corps constantly talk about it. It's 85% football, 10 baseball, 5 other things.

This, football has simply been overexposed.

Back in the day, you got two games on Sunday, and one on Monday Night with no way of seeing any thing else other than those games, so you'd watch them and stay thru halftime to see highlights from the other games around the league.

Today, you can see any team you want play with no work to find it, and by Monday night between the Thursday game, the two-three college games on Friday, the 15 hours of football on Saturday, plus the 10 on Sunday, you simply don't give a shit about MNF unless it's your team, and it's the same loop for all the rest of the days. Missing a game on tv is no big deal, as there will be more the next day save for Tuesday and Wednesday.

College football will always be greater than the NFL. Players playing for the chance at fame and money play harder than players that already have it. There's less fan loyalty to NFL teams, they can pick up and move to another city, it's not possible for a college team to do that. Plus, people are just fed up with the political shit. They don't want to see that antifa faggot with the afro taking a knee during the anthem. The NFL forgets who their audience is. Protesting at a game is just not the place to do it at.

The real reason is shit Thursday night football.

There is a ton of disgust (a lot more than people think) with multi-millionaire athletes disrespecting the sacrifices that millions of dead soldiers made so they can play football instead of wearing a dirty pair of striped pajamas, hoping those "arbeit macht frei" signs really mean what they say. It's disrespectful plain and simple, and people don't dig that. If you want to protest, find another way, this isn't working, and you'll be lumped into the same bucket of scum as antifa in most peoples' minds.

Prediction: owners will start wising up, and the first ones to do it will be rewarded with new fans, or fans that switch loyalty from teams that continue to tolerate this rebellion. Slamming the agenda of the out of orbit left will pay dividends. The election of Trump clearly demonstrates that.

You think billionaires who employ rapists are better than millionaires who silently protest.

If people would rather watch the weather channel than football there is an issue

I don't think its political. I think its over saturation.

Off season is the best season for pro fans too these days

NO It's political. Most games are on over the air TV, so you can't blame cord cutters and long Sunday walks on the beach.

Other than SJW, the whole take a knee thing has made many people tune out. Many in your generation. And many more that don't have a team in their city.

People that cry about songs and pieces of cloths are the social justice warriors. HTH

People that shit on the sacrifices that millions have made for you and I to shit poast on this board has pissed many more people off than you realize.

I know Millenial fucktard cares not about these sacrifices because the crusades!!!! and slavery!!!! but those that have lived a life still do.

HTH

lol

not enough to be a shitposter but you're a sniveling bitch to boot

You should post more pictures of your fake wife.

NFL's ratings woes continued in Week 2, and Wall Street is taking notice, given there are fewer excuses for falling viewership than there were a year ago when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were distracting TV-watching Americans.

While NFL games remain some of the most-watched content on television, ratings slid 12 percent in the NFL's opening weekend, with many blaming Hurricane Irma. But without dramatic weather, the second weekend was off 15 percent year-over-year. This comes after an 8 percent ratings slump last season.
