    Agreed, but I don’t think any of those listed are going to be the face of their respective franchises anytime soon. Star power does count a little bit.

    Is this reason 1,007 or 1,008?

    People care about the players. Just look at the NBA Finals ratings with Lebron or Jordan. The lack of superstar QBs is the biggest reason ratings are down.

    Cable cutters and streaming are another (smaller) reason ratings are down.

    NFL lost it’s “it” factor. Cool people with money don’t go now.

    Because of the lack of superstars.

    of course people care about players. But it isn't the main reason why ratings are down.

    Hi.

    Bad quarterbacks = bad football that no one wants to watch, regardless of political affiliation.
    you need to get out among people a little more
    I hate poor people though.

    I’m not gonna lie the NFL is boring as fuck this year. I hope Brady gets ring #6 and twatter goes full meltdown.

    I think it's a ton of shit, but you are being political if you say the kneeling shit has had no effect. Now, I don't think it has had a huge effect, but maybe a third of the drop is people just saying fuck it stop kneeling. The rest, and larger percentage, is all the other shit mentioned here - franchises moving (no loyalty), players moving all the time (no trust), shit product (Hello terribad QBs), and cord cutters (streaming kicks major ass). And, as Race points out, it's not as much fun. I loved end zone dancing and other fun bullshit. So yeah, it's a bunch of things, but I have to tell you, I haven;t watched one game all year and do not miss it in the slightest. YMMV. CFB to me is so much more exciting. I don't think I will go back to NFL bullshit anytime soon, no matter if they are standing or not. Couldn't care less anymore.

    You realize you spent 45 minutes typing your Southern Iroquoian language into Google translate and posted on an NFL board, to not give a shit. Right?
